Throughout CHD 216: Early Childhood Programs, Schools, and Social Change, I leaned the importance of partnering with

families and communities to ensure the success of children within the classroom environment. I learned how to effectively create respective and reciprocal relationships with families, while considering the diverse needs and perspectives of both families and students. By including this newsletter, I demonstrate that I can effectively communicate with families about what their child is doing and learning in the classroom environment (weekly themes, suggested activities, and upcoming events).

IT IS FINALLY SPRING! This month we will be honoring SPRING and its beauty! The children will be doing various arts and crafts that reveal the wonders of spring! We will be reading books like I See Spring by Charles Ghigna and My Spring Robin by Anne Rockwell. This week we will be focusing on spring flowers. We will be planting flowers in the school garden, while painting and singing about the beautiful foliage that comes with Spring.

Key Developmental Indicators: VISUAL ARTS DEVELOPMENT We will be using the arts throughout this month to support the healthy development of each child within the classroom. Here are some developmental indicators to show that your child is developing an awareness for the arts: - They use a variety of materials, textures, and tools, for producing visual arts. - They understand that visual arts take many forms (paintings, sculptures, drawings, etc.) - Use fine motor skills to produce two and three dimensional works of art.
