Week of 02/23/2026

Hello Purple Room Families!

We were very happy to see our children after an extended February break. The weather needs to give us a break, LOL!

We came back to school with lots of news to share. We enjoyed hearing about all the children did while they were home! We remembered what we learned about community helpers and focused on Police Officers this week. We created a police station as our dramatic play option. The children did a wonderful job patrolling the classroom, making sure everyone stayed safe, kept slow walking feet, and conducted themselves kindly! We watched an animated story about a young girl who wishes to be a police officer when she grows up. We read the story "The Police Station" and created a police car using familiar shapes. We built puzzles by placing the pieces in numbered order from 1-10 to reveal a community helper. 

We are working on all skills reviews, counting, alphabet knowledge, letter sound knowledge, rhyming words, shapes, colors, reading a picture story, etc. We are in the middle of our year, with more to go but we are keeping our activities throughout this next month a rich collection of all preacademic skills. Some activities are done at circle time, some at table time, and some as individual skills checks using classroom games, projects and manipulatives. The afternoon class started their exploration into the story of Tucker the Turtle and reviewing Tucker's four steps to regulate and solve problems safely. Our children have started their art pieces for our Sqaure1 Art fundraiser, you will receive information about how to order items with your child's art should you choose. On Thursday the children enjoyed Crazy Hair Day! The styles were a sight to behold!

It was a short week for us, so we will begin this upcoming week with our introduction to the new month MARCH! Our new songs, shape and color of the month. We will extend our focus on community helpers with learning all about dentists next. We will then move into our month long theme of AUTHORS. In this month, we will have our Readers' Picnic event. You will be invited to join us for those readers' picnic days, and we can make alternative arrangements if you can not make the scheduled dates, which will be announced soon!

Thank you for all you do!

Ms. Terry & Miss Sheila
