Star
Class News
Week
of September 3rd
Welcome
to the Star Class! We are so excited about the year ahead and look
forward to getting to know your family. This will be the only
newsletter we print out for your cubby. If you did not get an
e-mailed copy or need a hard copy each week, please let Teacher Jo
know.
Pictures
We
need a couple pictures of your child 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. This year we are also asking each child bring in a
1” white binder for their portfolio. We will give it back at the
end of the year full of your child's work and pictures.
Allergies/Medical
Forms
If
your child has any allergies, please provide us with a list of what
they are allergic to and what kind of reactions you have seen in the
past. We also need to have a medical release on file for any
medication that needs to be left in the building. You can get a copy
from Teacher Jo or in the preschool office from Teacher Maria.
All-About
Me Books
This
week we will be sending home a book that you and your child can fill
out and decorate together. It’s a book about your child &
family that we would like to keep in the classroom. After the
children have had a chance to share their books, we will have them
out in the class for them to look at and show their friends.
Good-Byes
The
first few days of school can be hard (on the parents I mean). So I
encourage you to have positive energy when you bring your child to
school and say a short good bye at the door. You need to convey to
your child that this is a safe fun place and you know that they are
going to be fine. They need to know that you have confidence in them
and their ability to go school and make new friends.
We
look forward to building a positive partnership with you, so if you
have any questions or concerns please feel free to talk with me after
school or you can always reach me at
(360)771-1833
or e-mail me at Joanna@threepaw.com.
This
week in the Star Class
This
week we will be getting to know each other and the classroom.
Starting something
new
can be intimidating so we will be easing into our year with some
simple projects and games that will help us make new friends and get
to know the classroom. Since we are the Star class, we are going to
be creating different types of Stars to decorate our classroom.
