Polar Bears- May 2025 - Sunset Academy

Hello Polar Parents,

May is finally here. We will continue with Spring for our theme of the month. We will be talking to the children about all the things that happen in May.

Lots of babies will be born, birds,rabbits”bunnies”, chicks and lots of other animals. Flowers start coming and the leaves on the trees will be opening and the grass turns a beautiful green. We’ll be exploring the world of insects. We will be making crafts of flowers and insects. The children have already been working hard on their Mother’s Day gifts.

The letter of the month is “J”. Please help your child learn new words that start with “J”.

When a child reaches 3 years old they should be able to fully dress themselves with some having problems getting their shoes on and zipping jackets. We have been working hard on zipping jackets and putting shoes on. Parents please have your child start dressing themselves they are more than able to do it and would be so proud of themselves when they accomplish it. (: when children accomplish big tasks like this it encourages them to grow through school years. Allowing children to dress themselves fosters independence, builds confidence, and helps them develop valuable skills like decision-making and self-expression. It also allows them to express their individuality through clothing choices and explore their creativity.

Potty Training

Students are expected to be fully potty-trained before starting our classroom. Polar Bear students to not use pull-ups as we do not have changing stations. Occasional accidents happen, but if accidents are a frequent daily occurrence, that means the student is not potty trained.

Sickness Policy

If a student is sick, please keep them home. We want to avoid the spread of illness/disease as much as possible. The classroom toys and furniture are sanitized on a daily basis. Let’s work together to keep our families safe and in good health.
