Brown Bears- June 2025

Brown Bears Newsletter
HAPPY SUMMER BROWN BEARS! 

It is June and with that, we get to start our more relaxed portion of the year. You will notice that we’ll shift from an academic focus to a focus on experimentation and play. We want for the students to enjoy their Summer and have it be full of fun and relaxed activities that will inspire curiosity. We’ll be diving into the Ocean for this month’s theme.

Theme: Ocean

Social Emotional: Peer Problem Solving Review

Focus: STEM & Art
IMPORTANT NOTICE

1. Snacks must stay on the counter and be labeled with a name as we are having some issues with ants being in student cubbies. Snacks should help set students up for success i.e. nutritious foods instead of processed sugars and starches! 

2. Please keep toys home as they are becoming a distraction in class and are being fought over. The only toys in class should be a stuffy for naptime. 
READING VOLUNTEERS

We’d love for parents to join us for circle time and read aloud to the class. We do ask that the book you volunteer to read be associated to the theme or focuses of the month.

A sign up sheet will be available for those who would like to participate. Please write your name next to the time you can come in. Thank you!
IMPORTANT DATES

June 13th – Early Closure 4PM

June 15th – Father’s Day

June 27th – Ponyo Movie (G, 1hr43min)

REMINDERS

*** Have students practice changing in/out of clothes and swimsuit

*** Take blankets home each Friday to be washed

*** Water bottles need to be taken home at the end of the day to be washed 

*** Students will have to arrive before 9AM to have enough time to eat breakfast during splash days
SPLASH DAYS: JUNE 23

Brown Bears will have splash days each Monday 9:35-10:35 starting the 23rd of June. 

Please emphasize students practicing changing in and out of clothes/swimsuits prior to this. We have new students starting and a very large class size. It would be incredibly helpful for students to be as independent as possible so we can keep all students safe and have this go smoothly/quickly.

ITEMS NEEDED 

*** Water resistant bag (no plastic grocery bags)

*** Towel 

*** Closed toe water shoes 

*** Swim suit (should be on before drop off)
