September 27th, 2021 Week #7
"My Relatives"
"Johnny Appleseed"
During week 7 we will discuss how families are people who love and take care of each other. Students will learn that "relatives" are extended family members.
Does your family have an unique or special name for your Pre-K child? If so, feel free to share it with us! We will explore the idea of family uniqueness! What makes your family special?
This week we will read the adventures of Johnny Appleseed. Students will learn how kindness is to help others. We will also have bushels of fun as we learn more about apples!
Looking forward to...

Week 7 invites your child to practice subitizing small quantities of items.
Students will collect data and compare the results.

It's Fall Y'all!
The weather is cooling off and this means it's time to send your kid to school with a light jacket or hoodie. Please make sure to label it with their name.
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.
