Star Class News
Week of March 2nd
Thank you to all of the families who came to Family Fun Night on Friday. It was wonderful seeing so many of our Star Friends. Teacher Jo wishes she could have stayed for the Dance Party, it sounded so much fun!
Auction Basket
We will start collecting items for our Classroom Basket. This year the Star Class will be putting together a gift wrapping basket. We are looking for donations of Wrapping Paper, Tape, Gift Bags, Tissue Paper, Bows, decorations, etc. Donations are not mandatory but if you want to help create a wonderful basket you can either bring in any Gift Wrapping materials or donate money and we will purchase the items. We will have a sign up outside of the Star Class this week.
Auction
Mark your calender for our Auction Saturday April 18th at Big Al's. Tickets will go on Sale March 16th! Tickets will be $18/person, or $34/couple until April 10th. After April 10, tickets will be $22/person or $40/couple. This is an adult-only night, and a night where we can have lots of fun, play games and have a good time.
**Families who purchase auction tickets will get free bowling coupons
Spread the Word
We have started our open registration for next year. The best way to get our preschools name out there is for our families to spread the word. If you hear of anyone looking for a preschool, please let them know what you think of our school and send them our way if you have had a good experience. We have a 2 ½ year old class, 3 three year old options, (Star, Sunshine and Dragonfly), 3 four year old options (Dragonfly, Busy Bee, and Butterfly), and a Kindergarten class.
Library Fieldtrip
We are planning a Library Field trip for the end of the month. I will have the dates this week and will put out a sign up sheet so we know how many kids to expect each day. If you don't come on one of the days, you are welcome to us!
This week in the Star Class
We are still working with Dr. Seuss this week. Monday we will be enjoying Green Eggs and Ham. We will also be making creating our own Dr. Seuss hats, counting apples and stacking, and working with shadows and the shapes of the star class and other stuff, with the help of the Shape of me and other things by Dr. Seuss.
Word Wall
This week we will be continuing with the letter Ss for Seuss and Silly. 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.
