Dear Parent,
Welcome to Preschool-A! We had a wonderful first two days of school. The children are adorable!
Please refer to this "Weekly Letter" every week. This is a great communication to tell you what is going on each week throughout the school year. There is a "Friendly Reminder" posted on my teacher bulletin board to remind you of important things about the class. There is also a "Schedule and Calendar", so you can see what days our specials are on. You will need to look at our monthly calendar to see what is happening in Preschool.
Just a few friendly reminders that Preschool is a peanut and nut-free classroom. Please arrive by 8 a.m. via Car Line, the third driveway from Montgomery Avenue behind the school. If you need to drop-off earlier, doors open at 7:30 a.m.. We ask that you pack your child two snacks daily, label one snack "AM" and one snack "PM" with your child's name printed on both snacks. We also ask that you pack your child a lunch for this first full week of school. Mercy After Care is offered for Preschool. Your child must be registered online to attend MAC. The take Home Folder must be returned to school each day. The folder is a communication between home and school.
We will be starting our Frog Street Threes curriculum this week. Please look for the Frog Street Threes themed papers explaining about Thematic unit 1 "Awesome Me". This theme is spread out over four weeks. This week we are on Week 1: "Physical Me". The children will be learning about themselves, vocabulary words awesome and magnificent, introduction to letters of the alphabet, and school. Show 'N Tell takes place every Friday. This week's Show 'N Tell is "All About Me" banner. Our STEAM project is building structures from stackable materials.
September Scholastic Book Orders will be sent home on Monday, September 9th in your child's folder. If you would like to order books online here is the link https://orders.scholastic.com/'MQV64 . Friday, September 20th is the deadline to order September books online.
Lower School Back-to-School Night is on Monday, September 9th from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. beginning in the Dixon Gym followed by going to the Cafeteria for Preschool presentation.
We are looking forward to a wonderful school year with you and your child.
All the best,
Ms. Evans and Mrs. McKelvey
