Week
of January
6th
Welcome
Back!! We hope you all had a great break and wonderful Christmas.
We are excited to be coming back. Remember that your children have
been home for several weeks, and may have difficulty returning to
school. Say good bye at the door and we will call if they are too
upset and can't stay in class.
Book
Bags
Starting next week we
will be sending home book bags. This is a great opportunity for
children to learn the responsibility of checking out books. They
will get to check out books from our room, and when they bring their
book AND book bag back to class they will get to check out another
one. In June, we will collect the bags and books and send the book
bags home with their special portfolio.
Family
Fun Night
The
Butterfly Class is in the process of planning and organizing a Family
Fun Night for Friday, January 31. In order to plan this event we need
an idea of how many families will be attending. We have planned a
pajama party, cookie decorating, hot chocolate, and a movie “The
Snowman and the Snowdog”.
This event will run from 5:30-6:45 with the movie starting at 6:15.
We
will have a sign up by the classroom door, please let us know if you
plan to attend.
Dressing
for the weather
Remember
to dress kids for the weather of the day. If it is not raining, we
will go outside. Dressing kids in layers is a good plan. Putting
names in coats, jackets, hats can help keep track of your kids
belongings and not get them mixed up with someone else's.
Cold
and Flu Season
We are still in the middle of
cold and flu season, so here at school we will be cleaning and
disinfecting daily. Please have your kids wash their hands before
entering class and remember our school policy on sick kids. If kids
have a fever, runny nose with mucus, or have vomited in the last 24
hours, please keep them home. Most kids that are sick usually don't
feel like participating in classroom activities anyway. So keep
them home and let them rest. Also, if your child will be out of class
for the day, please call the preschool office, send me a text or
email letting us know.
This
week
This
week we will be talking about books. Mostly how to care for our
books, but also the parts of a book. We will be learning about and
becoming illustrators and authors as we get ready to start checking
out books. In the upcoming weeks, we will be learning through
different famous children's authors and illustrators.
Word
Wall
This week we will
bring back the word wall with the letter Nn
for nose and near. Please have your
child bring something that starts with the letter to put in our
pelican.
