Dear Parents,
It’s an Exciting week in PreK! We are learning all about the letter “Ee,” but also continuing our unit on pumpkins! We will be creating watercolor Earth projects, reading about Elmer the Elephant, and using our senses to explore the world around us. We will continue to discuss pumpkins and their life cycle, and have some extra fun with pumpkin painting.
Winter uniforms begin today. For PreK, this includes sweatpants, t-shirt and a sweatshirt, or the long-sleeve shirt. If it gets warm in the classroom, they can always take their sweatshirts off to cool down. For this reason, please make sure all uniforms are clearly labeled with their names. Also, sneakers are a must every day to ensure safety on the playground and equipment. Thank you for understanding!
Here are some reminders:
Wednesday, October 22nd: School Pictures Day! These are individual portraits that you can order ahead of time. Information about packages and pricing went home last week. All Pre-K students will be getting pictures taken, whether you are ordering or not. Students in PreK wear the gym uniform, as usual, with the sweatshirt. Thank you!
Saturday, October 25th: SMM Trunk or Treat event from 6:30-7:30. Please see the flyer sent in the Hawk Herald for more information.
Thursday, October 30th: Happy EARLY Halloween!! Please see the note that was sent home in regards to Halloween fun. We are looking forward to an extra fun day!
Friday, November 7th: Pre-K students will be attending their first “First Friday Mass” with the whole school. If you would, please take some time to remind your little one about church behavior expectations. We will practice this as well. I know they will be great!
Have an “Exciting” week!
Mrs. Weinstock
