The Importance of Reading to Your Children

April 2nd is “Children’s Book Day” so we would like to emphasize a few of the many

benefits that come with reading to your child.

Strengthens parent and child relationships.

Improves speech and the desire to learn by reading.

Enhances concentration and communication skills.

By setting aside just a few moments each day to sit and read with your child, it will

begin creating a foundation for a love of learning as well as contributes to developing

a parent/child bond that will last a lifetime.

**At this time we are accepting book donations through Scholastic Reader for

your child’s classroom through April 3rd, if you would like to participate

please stop by the front desk. **

Egg Hunt / Party

Each classroom (Room 3 and up) will be having an Easter egg hunt on Thursday April 17th.

Children’s Lighthouse will be providing snack for this event. Parents will receive notice from

their children’s individual teachers as to how many eggs each parent will bring for the special

event. The eggs will be plastic and prefilled with candy or stickers.
