Dear Parents,    

We have had a wonderful start to our year!  I am always amazed at how quickly the kids learn the rules of the classroom and the routine. 

 

When you sign your child in you will notice  a crate with folders.  Yellow is for morning and blue is afternoon.  Your child's first name is on a folder.  Please start to check these on a daily basis.  Currently you will find information on creating a scrapbook page and a piece of card-stock.  This is an activity to do with your child.  It is meant to be their own creation with some of their favorite pictures.  We place all of the pictures in a book in our class library.  This book is chosen on a daily basis by the children. It is usually just barely held together by the end of the year because it is so well loved.  We will  return the page to you at the end of the year but expect that it will be creased, smudged and have rolled corners. Your child may bring the page to school on the day that he/she has snack.  The page will be used in place of a sharing item.

Letter and Number of the Week:

August 30-September 2: M and 3

September 7-9: K and 4

September 13-16: G and 5

Important Reminders:

  • No Class Monday, September 6 in observance of Labor Day.
  •  Remember to apply sunscrean before your child comes to preschool.  We have a daily scheduled time for outdoor play.
  •   It is important to be on time for arrival and again at dismissal.  We run a very tight schedule and pack a tremendous amount in each day.  When you are late it affects every child in the classroom.  After dismissal we schedule team meetings, clean, contact parents, and prepare lessons just to name a few duties that we are responsible for.  Your promptness is appreciated!

 

  • We have many allergies in our classroom.  When it is your turn to bring snack please be vigilant about checking for any type of nuts and peanuts.  All items to be consumed in the preschool room must be commercially pre-packaged and with the label present. Individual juice boxes are the recommended drink. 

 

Our team is enjoying all of your children and we are having fun!
