"Pets"
"The Season of Fall"
During week 8 we will discuss how pets are a part of our families. Do you have any pets at your house? If not, try talking with your child about the idea of "pets". If they could have any pet what would they choose and why? Conversations with your young child allow for social and emotional growth.
The season of "Fall" is a fun time of year! Students will explore various aspects of seasonal changes such as weather, foods, clothing, and more!
What is your child's favorite season? Get to know your child more by having personal conversations with them.
Looking forward to...

Pre-K Sign Up Genius
Thank you to everyone who has helped fulfill our needs by donating items on our Sign Up Genius lists. Please know that we appreciate you and all your support! We will continue to keep our lists current with classroom needs throughout the school year. Thank you!
Please remember ...
Your child needs the following items sent in their backpack, every day:
*a change of clothes in a ziploc bag
*a water bottle that they can manage without spilling
*2-3 healthy snack items (no items that require utensils, please)
*Daily Folder, signed each night
Dismissal Reminder:
If you find your child must go home a different way than planned, please notify the office by a phone call by at least 2:00 p.m. Teachers and our front office staff do not always have access to email or are busy teaching or helping others. A phone call is required. Sometimes we have only one person in the front office, so we want to provide ample time to be able to meet your needs.
Masks...
For students who wear masks, please put 5-6 masks in a ziplock bag and place it in your student's backpack. We know masks provide comfort for some students and we wouldn't want them to worry if they get lost, soiled, forgotten or broken.
If you desire your child to wear a mask at school, we ask that you practice this with them at home. It is very hard to keep a 4 or 5 year old in a mask all day at school when they are not used to wearing one elsewhere. Thank you for your understanding.
