March is an exciting month!  It is starting to feel like spring and we are enjoying our time outside on the playground.  Our class will start learning about plants and insects and we will start our own seeds inside the classroom.  We also have many fun visitors to the class this month.  We start off March with a group of students from Japan that will visit our class and we will enjoy several musical guests during the month.
Plus we will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!

Fall Preschool and Summer Camps

Thank you Hands On families for choosing our school! Your children are a joy to see each day! Our summer camps and fall preschool classes are filling up. Here is more information about our summer camps:
Hands On summer camps are open to all preschool children and siblings in kindergarten are welcome to join. You may sign up for as many camp days as you like. You may add days or sign up during the summer, so long as there is still space available. Each day is $40; siblings that attend together will receive a discount. Summer camps are available 1,2,3 or 4 days a week. No cancelations after June 1. If you need to switch your days during camp week, you can, as long as space is available.

Visitors and After School Classes

Next Tuesday, March 6 th, We will have students from Senzok Junior College of Childhood Education in Kanagawa prefecture, which is close to Tokyo. The Japanese students are learning early childhood education in college and they also have on-the-job training at local kindergartens and daycare centers.
Their visit provides our students with a wonderful opportunity to participate in singing, dancing and story-telling with young people from another culture. We are delighted to have this cross-cultural exchange. It is a unique time for both children and students
They will visit us in the morning, from 9:30-11:30, and if you would like to be a part of this experience and join us that day, please let me know.
Our after-school classes have been so successful this year, and many are nearly full.  All of the afternoon programs are enrolling for spring term.  Please let us know if you have any questions about these classes.
