Hi Families,

Welcome back and Happy New Year! Hopefully everyone had some great times over the break and are ready to get back to the routines of school, I know I am. 

This first week back we will be talking and learning about Winter Weather. It would be great if we actually had some of the white stuff, but we’ll have to wait and hope for that. We’ll be doing some writing activities about snow and snowmen, do some fun art with a snow theme and make some predictions about ice in the sensory table. 

We are still needing a count for the NWCT play “Goodnight Moon” that we will be attending in February. If you have not signed the sheet in the hallway, letting us know how many tickets you need, please do so this week. The cost is $5 per ticket. As with any field trip, parents are responsible for transportation and supervision during field trips. Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Remember to dress kids for the weather of the day. If it is not raining, we will go outside. Also, our classrooms can be chilly this time of year, so dressing kids in layers is a good plan. Putting names in coats, jackets, hats can help keep track of your kids belongings and not get them mixed up with someone else's.

We are still in the middle of cold and flu season, so here at school we will be cleaning and disinfecting daily. Please have your kids wash their hands before entering class and remember our school policy on sick kids. If kids have a fever,runny nose with mucus, or have vomited in the last 24 hours, please keep them home. Most kids that are sick usually dont feel like participating  in classroom activities anyway. So keep them home and let them rest. Also, if your child will be out of class for the day, please call the preschool office, send me a text or email letting us know.

Later this month there will be another family fun night. On Jan 31st we will be having a PJ movie night here at school. If you think you will be joining us, please sign up on the sheet in the hallway so we can get a count.

2014 is going to be great! Cant wait to spend the rest of our school year together, Thanks for your support
