We hope spring is right around the corner so we can start spending more time outside and begin our gardening The UCLCC remains busy and many fun activities are happening for the children including a Dr. Seuss reading day on March 2nd. I hope you are all enjoying the FABULOUS weekly newsletters the teachers are emailing out to you and highly encourage you to sign up for a parent-teacher conference when the time rolls around again in April! The teachers have been working incredibly hard assessing all the children and their development and putting together individual portfolio binders for them to share with you.

This means you will need to bring lunches from March 21-25. New Practicum Students Begin As of Monday, March 28th we have three practicum students who will be joining our Playhouse and Rainbow classrooms for the next six weeks. Melanie Earll will be with Playhouse, Dana Guenterberg and Tanya Woefel in Rainbow. Each student will be here identical hours to that of the teachers they are working with. Watch for future communications from each classrooms lead teacher for a more in-depth introduction to each. We wish them the best during their time here and are glad to have them with us! Extra Clothes NEEDED!! We really need all families to be sure you have 12 sets of extra clothes (socks, underwear, pants, & shirt) here at all times. We go outside and get wet and dirty twice a day most days. Please check what is in their cubbies nightly so you know what needs to be replaced. At this time we do not have any extra center clothes in our 2, 3, and 4 year classes. If your child has come home dressed in any clothing from UCLCC please return them as ASAP. For those of you who will not be here, have a wonderful & relaxing spring break
