Star Class News
Week of September 15th
Our new schedule is working out wonderfully! Thank you all for being understanding as we re-adjust during this first few weeks. We are trying to arrange schedules to benefit all of the kids in the school.
Bikes
Thank you for those of you bringing in helmets! Please remember to put them in our polka dot bag on the days your child comes. We will be taking the bag outside with us, if their helmets are not in the bag, we can not let them ride the bikes/scooters. We hope to have the bikes out as often as possible, so any day that is it not rainy or windy if possible.
Monday and Friday kids
Our Monday and Friday class will be meeting in the Sunshine class until we can get more friends to join us on those days. We will be picking up and dropping off at the Sunshine class (the purple door down the hallway with the other classes) until further notice. I will have a reminder note on our check in.
Space Available
We still have space available on Mondays, Wednesdays (limited), and Fridays. We will be starting Spanish Fridays soon! Please remember to spread the word to any family or friends that are looking for a wonderful preschool.
Kindred Visit
Our first visit to Kindred is Wednesday and Thursday where we walk across the street and sing to the “Grandma's and Grandpa's”. If you would like to join us you are welcome. We understand some children love to visit with them while others are on the reserved side, we encourage all children to smile and say good morning, but they stay with us the entire time. You might want to talk with your child about this upcoming event.
All-About Me Books
Last week you should have received an All-about me book in your child's cubby. Please help your child complete then bring them back to school to share with their friends. We will hang it in our class so they can look through it all year long.
Class Needs
We still need a couple pictures from several of the kids for our class. Please send copies of the pictures just in case something happens to them. We need one picture for their Cubby (please no larger then 3X5) and one of your family. We could also use a 2” binder to collect your child's work in. At the end of the year we would like to send special projects home together so that their work can all be in one spot.
This week in the Star Class
This week in the Star class we are going to be talking about our families and friends. We will be comparing and creating projects about our families, then moving on to projects that encourage us to work together, make new friends, and learn more about what makes us the same and different as our new friends at school.
Word Wall
To not confuse our Monday/Friday friends, we will be doing the same letters of the as we the Sunshine class. I believe they are going to be going in alphabetical order so we will also. This week we will be starting with the letter Aa. Your child can bring in an item that starts with the letter of the week and we will write the word out and put on our word wall. They can put their item in our pelican that is by the word wall.

The More we get together
The more we get together, together, together
the more we get together, the happier we'll be
Cause your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friendship
The more we get together, the happier we'll be
Make New Friends
Make new friends, but keep the old
One is silver and the others gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
