Dear Kinder Bears Families, 

Happy Spring!! As many of us know, spring weather can be quite unpredictable. Please keep your eyes and ears on the daily forecast and bring your student to school dressed accordingly. 

Important events in April: 

* Friday April 15, To celebrate Easter, we will learn about Easter holiday in class. The kids will be painting Easter eggs and making “Easter Egg Bunny Crafts”. They can come to school in bunny costumes or SPRING colors with their bunny puppets. 

* Friday April 22, Earth Day. In honor of Earth Day, we will be talking about how to take care of our Earth and our environments. We will also have a recycling activity for a math project in the whole group. Please have your student come to school in GREEN. Earth Day is every day! Reduce, Reuse & Recycle!
