Seussology was Sensational!
On Monday, March 4th, Precious Butterflies welcomed a very special visitor…The Cat in the Hat!! All children in the school were treated to rhyme time, a Dr. Seuss trivia game, a chance to talk about and look through a variety of Dr. Seuss books, interactive games and more! There were puppets, music, dancing, clapping, magic tricks, and a visit from Thing 3 who made Thing 1 and Thing 2 seem “Tame oh so tame.”
The children loved hearing about how Dr. Seuss(Theodore Geisel) began as a young child, doodling and scribbling on paper with crayons. His wacky creations became the most popular children’s books known! Our visitor encouraged the children to read as much as they can, draw, color, create, and use their imagination. Even our infants enjoyed the music and colorful props spread about the room. We can’t wait for next year to see what antics the Cat brings to our school.
FREE Yoga class!
Precious Butterflies students will be starting free yoga classes in April. Yoga is a wonderful addition to the movement and muscle development the children already have. Practicing yoga not only is a calming agent for the mind, and a strong component of relaxation, but little ones can benefit from the use of muscle memory. The fluid movements will encourage the children to develop a better sense of balance, coordination, and flexibility. It is also a lot of fun!
Friday, April 5th PARENTS’ NIGHT OUT!!
Enjoy a night out, or time to get some errands done while the kids play at school! From 6 to 9pm, your children can watch a movie, play fun games, and have a good time! You must sign up with Miss Alicia by Monday April 1st to ensure enough staff coverage is available. Payment must be cash, and is PER CHILD. Siblings are welcome!!!
