SUMMER NEWS FROM THE INFANTS
Summer is here!  The boys have really enjoyed playing in the back yard and walking through the neighborhood.  They are becoming very observant!  Jason waves
to passing cars, while Lucas points at the birds,
Lukas watches his shadow from the side of the
buggy and Damian tries to grab leaves off the bushes
as we pass them. 
 
Once again we have marked new milestones, Lucas is walking, Jason is crawling and Lukas is standing,
all are officially eating our lunches and last but not least, Damian celebrated his first birthday!

SUMMER NEWS FROM THE TOD/2'S
Can you believe it is time for summer camp already!  I am very excited to be working with this group, for the summer.  We have lots of fun activities planned.
 
This month we will talk about friends, Father's Day, sports and the beach.  On Thursday, June 11th we will be having a pajama party.  Your child is welcome to bring P. J.'s or just roll out of bed and come to school as is.  You can also send a stuffed animal as well as a favorite book (name inside), that we can read together.
We also will be having a special snack!  Please send 1 cup of your child's favorite snack, no nuts please, on June 11th.  We will be making Friendship Trail Mix to share and enjoy together as a class. 
 
We ask that your child wear gym shoes daily. 
No sandals, crocs, etc as the wood chips can cause injury to exposed feet, just ask Miss Laura!
