Fun Times on the Playground
at The Tree House
New Teacher Spotlight
Samantha Catalano
We would like to welcome our new
teacher, Miss Samantha, to The
Tree House. Miss Samantha will
be working in the One year old
classroom. She has recently moved
back to the East Liverpool area
from Cleveland, Ohio, where she
attended Cleveland State University. Miss Samantha is now pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in Early
Childhood Education from Youngstown State University.
Samantha’s favorite color is pink and her favorite part
about working with children is being a part of their day to
day growth and witnessing how they change everyday!
Cinco De Mayo
Celebration
By: Maura Meeder, Wee School Teacher
On may 5th, 2014 the Wee
School Class celebrated
Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de
Mayo is Spanish for May the
5th and commemorates
the Mexican army's unlikely
victory over French forces at
the Battle of Puebla on May
5, 1862. It is considered a
Mexican-American holiday
and is celebrated in both
countries. In honor of Cinco
de Mayo, the Wee School
class created sombreros,
learned how to count to ten
in Spanish, learned several
other Spanish words, and
created maracas. Once the
students completed all of
their projects, they paraded
through the classrooms of
The Tree House wearing
their sombreros and shaking
their maracas. Cinco de
Mayo was a fun and educational holiday that will be
celebrated every year at The
Tree House.
