September 8-12
Good afternoon , I hope everyone had a good weekend. This is our first week in preschool, and it's going to be a productive week.
What's Happening this Week:
Specials classes begin this week; Lunch begins this week
All about school safety: who keeps us safe at school (teachers, crossing guards, police officers, lunch ladies, etc.), stop signs, school buses, how to walk safely, how we get to school
All about colors- testing our knowledge on the colors (flashcards, sorting objects by color)
Projects: Stop Sign craft, School Bus craft, Name crayons, Color collage craft
Announcements and Reminders:
CARES (the school's afterschool program) begins today. If you have registered and paid the registration fee, your kids can now go to CARES whenever they need to go. If you are interested and still need to register for CARES, please let me know and I can send you the information for registering for CARES.
If you believe that your child will be going to CARES everyday, please let me know. Or on any days that you need to end up sending your kid to CARES, please let me know so I can make sure they get to CARES
Rest time began today. We will have rest time every day after lunch. With that, sleeping bags will be sent home at the end of every month to be cleaned.
We have gym class on Wednesdays. Definitely make sure your child comes to school in sneakers and clothes they can comfortably run around in so they can participate and have fun in gym class
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

The earliest you can drop off your child is 7:30 am. Come to the clear glass doors at the front of the school, and I (or another faculty member) will let your child in). This is the same every day your child comes to preschool
Please do not park along the wall of the school, as that is where buses will be be to drop off and pick up kids. Instead, park in spots in the main part of the parking lot
Anyone that was not able to make it to Meet the Teacher night last week will have the paperwork that was handed out that night in their child's folder.
School supplies can be brought in to school any day this week
I send emails out twice a week, once at the beginning of the week, and once and the end of the week. I try to respond promptly to emails, so if you have any questions or concerns at any time, I respond as promptly as I can.
I also have a class webpage, where I will post a weekly newsletter and pictures (under the "Daily Happenings" section).
Have a good night, I will see everyone for the first day of school tomorrow,
