Hello PEDP families,
April was a fun month, jam packed with fun activities learning about the many ‘Wonders of the World’, a solar eclipse and of course, a marvelous vacation week! Now Spring seems to have finally sprung with some warmer temperatures and the emergence of some lovely flower blooms! Spring has always been one of my favorite seasons! I love the new fresh green glow of all the plants and flowers! We only have 2 months of school left–can you believe it?! May has a lot more fun in store here at the program so make sure to mark your calendars with all the important dates listed below!
Things we are looking forward to this month:
Our new curriculum theme is Kings and Queens!
All three fish teams have field trips on early release Thursday May 9th!
Minnows will be going to Kimball Farm for mini golf and Ice cream
Barracudas are going to the Museum of Science
Sharks are going to Guild Hall to build and battle some robots!
