April 2025
Dear Parents,
Spring has finally arrived. The birds are singing, and new life is all around us. I know we are all looking forward to warmer temperatures and being outside. We hope you will enjoy this special time of year and take a moment to reflect upon God’s wonderful gifts.
Our theme for the month of April is Reading Is Fun. Our teachers have planned several fun activities to promote language and literacy this month. We would like to encourage you to spend time reading to your child. When you read to your child, you are developing creativity, imagination, language skills, vocabulary, and the enjoyment of books. Other topics this month will include Easter, spring, bugs, rhyming words, numbers 19 and 20, and measurement. We will be learning letters V, W, and X, as well as sight words his, her, will, was, and were.
Our memory Bible verse is Jesus said, “I Am Alive.” Revelation 1:18. Our Bible stories will include Jesus Is Alive, God Made All Creatures Great and Small, and My Bible, God’s Special Book. The children will discover that Easter is a celebration of Jesus’ gift of eternal life.
We will be studying bugs and learning about the life cycle of a butterfly this month. The children will have the opportunity to observe the metamorphosis of caterpillars into beautiful painted lady butterflies in their classrooms. This process will take approximately three to four
weeks. Be sure to ask your child about each stage of development!
We will celebrate the letter U with an Up, Up, and Away Parachute Day on April 2nd. The children will get to play some games with the parachute.
Violet Day will be April 16th for Letter V. Wear as much violet as you can.
Western Day will be April 24th for Letter W. Wear any western clothing and hats.
April 30th will be X Marks the Spot Day for Letter X. We will be going on a hunt for treasure that day using a map with a X were we will find our special treasure.
Mark your calendars. Wednesday, April 30, is Reading Day! Parents are invited to school to sit and read with their child. Parents should arrive at 2:30. Please bring three or four books to read to your child. You may also want to bring a blanket, a pillow, or anything else that may help you feel more comfortable on the floor. Children who are unable to have a parent attend on Reading Day will be able to read with their teachers. We would like to make this a special activity just for your preschooler. Therefore, we ask that you please do not bring younger siblings. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. We hope you will be able to attend!
Grandparents’ Day will be held on Wednesday, April 23rd in the CLC. The celebration will be from 11:00am-12:00pm. The children will be singing songs, listening to a story with their Grandparents, making a craft, and enjoying some snacks. At 11:45 the Grandparents will be invited to go down to see the classrooms. Those children leaving at 12:00 will be able to get their backpacks and go home with their Grandparents, if parents grant permission for the children to leave with them. The full-day PK and JK children will get to show their room to their Grandparents and say good-bye, so they can get ready for lunch. We are all looking forward to this celebration with our guests. Please no siblings, we want this time to be special for our preschoolers and their guests.
Junior Kindergarten graduation pictures will be taken on Wednesday, April 2nd. Your child should come to school dressed in his/her “Sunday best” for picture day. Greg McVicar will be taking an individual picture of each child and a group picture. You will receive an order form the following week with a couple of poses to choose from. The order form will have a date that the pictures are due back to school, so that the orders can be processed. Greg would like the proofs back whether you buy the pictures or not. If you order school pictures, you should have your package back by the middle of May.
The JK Easter egg hunts will be held on Thursday, April 17th. The children will need to bring 6 large plastic Easter eggs filled with candy and taped closed to school for the Easter egg hunt. Please only choose candies from our approved snack list. We also ask that you send eggs to school in a gallon Ziplock bag with your child’s name written on the bag. The Easter Egg hunt will happen at 2:45, so please arrive at 2:40 to watch. We will tell you closer to time where it will be held. If weather is nice we will have it outside by our playground, otherwise we will hold it in the CLC if weather is bad.
Mark your calendar for a trip to True North (Alaska) where we will be learning to trust Jesus in a Wild World! Vacation Bible School at DPC is scheduled for June 16-20 from 9:00am-12:00pm. Registration is open now and ends on May 12th. There is a registration fee of $10 this year, and space is limited so sign up early. Children must be 4 years of age by the first day of VBS. If your child isn’t 4 by June 16th, but they have attended Adam Lamb this year then they will be allowed to participate in VBS. Please indicate that they have attended Adam Lamb Preschool for the 2024-2025 school year.
We need your help! Please take a few minutes to leave us a review, visit our Facebook page, Google, Yelp, or Winnie.com. Your recommendations will help us fill our classes for the 2024-2025 school year.
