Directors’ Corner…

Welcome to June! When it is toasty outside in Texas, we know that June has arrived! For us here at Two Creeks, the timing is great, since we will be starting Splash Days on June 10th. This is our favorite way to beat the heat, and to help them run as smoothly as possible, we ask for each child to bring all items listed on the back page of this newsletter and to make sure they are labeled. This helps ensure that each item is returned to the correct child at the end of water play. We do want to highlight the importance of sending children in safe water shoes for their time on the Splash Pad. While we know that it can be most convenient to send children in flip-flops, we re-quire that children come in water shoes that have a rubber sole as well as a supportive back. Since children do have to travel from their classrooms to the Splash Pad, as well as on the border of concrete that surrounds the Splash Pad, we want to offer them as much protection as possible. Please also remember that all children that are not potty trained are required to bring swim diapers for their time in the water. Splash Days are some of our favorites around here and we are so grateful for each of you helping to make them a suc-cess!

Mark your calendars now for our Meet the Teacher, sched-uled for August 23rd from 4-6 p.m. While we will be CLOSED that day in preparation for another fabulous school year, we will plan to see each of you that afternoon at 4 p.m. for a sneak peek at your child’s new classroom and teachers for our Fall 2019 session.

Hi Parents—

Happy summer everyone! We are very excited about this month’s

curriculum. Our main theme will be about you guys—Mommies and

Daddies! We will be printing out pictures for the babies to look at,

using flour and water for sensory activities, and have plenty of dramatic possibilities for our prop box. We are looking forward to

a summer of fun.

-Ms. Teva and Mrs. Jackie

Room 2

We are getting ready to transition from our May curriculum

and are excited to be welcoming some new friends. We will continue to implement sensory activities, and follow June’s

curriculum as shown on our bulletin board. We will continue to

use a “peer learning environment” where the babies continue

to grow and develop by learning from each other. We will close up our May curriculum this week and our summer crafts

will get started next week.

-Mrs. Brandee, Ms. Lydia, and Ms. Shelly

ROOM 3

Summer Fun is finally here! This

month our theme is “Mommy and

Daddy” and our shape will be the

square and our color will be yellow. We are excited to enjoy some sum-

mer projects. We are looking for-

ward to making a neat gift for all of

our wonderful daddies for Father’s

Day. As a reminder, if you have not done so already, please bring in

some sunscreen so that we can ap-

ply it to your child before our out-

door time each day!

Have a wonderful start to the sum-

mer.

It is hard to believe, but another school year is al-

most complete. We are so proud of all of the pro-

gress that all of our friends have made and look for-

ward to some more learning this summer before they move to APK in the fall. We wish the best to

those who are spending the summer elsewhere and

look forward to seeing many of you again in August.

Our Summer Curriculum begins next week and we

will be keeping busy discussing the ocean, beach, camping, and we all scream for ice cream!

-Mrs. Valerie and Ms. Sherry

As you know, changes will be coming to our class-

room after graduation! Ms. Heidi and Ms. Kimberly will be heading to Room 10 for Summer Camp, so

we will all enjoy the next week together as much as we can. Thank you all for a fabulous last month

of school and so much support through gradua-

tion. We have had a wonderful year and so much of that was made possible due to all of our amaz-

ing families!

-Ms. Heidi, Ms. Kimberly, and Mr. Logan

Congratulations…

Please join us in offering a huge kudos to Ms. Sarah for being our

Teacher of the Month for June! We are so excited to recognize all of the

wonderful things that Ms. Sarah offers to her

classroom each day. Whether she is using her creative voices to bring stories to life or sing-

ing fun songs, Ms. Sarah brings a silly side to her classroom, in a way that all toddlers can

enjoy! We are thankful for Sarah’s willingness to help out in all classrooms when needed and

her team player spirit. Please join us in con-gratulating her on a job well done!

Splash Days will start again the week of June 10th and continue all summer long! Each classroom will have one

designated day per week to enjoy the water! Please make sure that all items are labeled and remember to

send the following: Swimsuit
