Hi Families,

The hibernation celebration was a big hit last week. Thanks for helping make the day fun for your Busy Bee. This week as we move in to February, we will start a new learning unit all about “Love” and Valentine’s Day. We have a bunch of heart shaped art to work on and will be sending home a work at home project called “Heartful helpers”. We will be doing a journal page about something that “I Love” and be writing the words love and heart. The kids have been enjoying our classrooms turn with the “light table”. It is pretty cool and has some fun manipulative s that go with it. Ask your Busy Bee if they have been trying it out and what they like about it.

This week on Wednesday our school will be having registration for the 2014-2015 school year for families already enrolled at Laps. Then on Friday it will be open registration for new families .There could be a few more cars in the parking lot and people in the building. Please let anyone you know who would love a great school experience for their kids to come and check out Little acorn. If anyone is considering our Kindergarten for their child, this would be the time to sign up.

Next week will be the field trip to “Goodnight Moon” on Wednesday Feb 12th. There will be no class on this day, we will meet at the theater 15 mins before the show begins. Parking can be tricky , so making a plan to carpool with another family might be a good idea.

Our class will have a Valentines Day party on Feb.13 & 14th. Watch for a sign up sheet to send a food item. Also we will do a card exchange where the kids can give a card to their classmates. Have the kids write their name in the “from” place and leave the “to” blank. We have 15 kids in the AM class each day and 10 kids in the PM class. Let me know if you have questions about this. 

     The LAPS annual Dinner/auction is coming in March and needs some volunteers to help with the planning process and pre-event organizing. This would count towards your required volunteer hours for the school year. Let me know or stop by the preschool office and talk to Maria if you can help with anything. This has been a fun and profitable event for our school in the past and with your help we can keep up the tradition. Our classroom will be responsible for putting together an auction basket, watch for more info about this coming soon.

  Remember to keep sick kids home and let us know if they have flu like symptoms so we can track how many families are being affected by this flu going around. We are working hard to keep germs away and sanitize classrooms and play areas. Having kids wash their hands before they come into class(especially if they come from the playroom) would be another way we can keep our classroom germ free.

Always dress your kids for outside play, we go out most days if it is not raining. A hat and gloves sometimes makes for a more enjoyable playtime for you Busy Bee.

Please let us know if you have question or concerns. We are here to help your child and family have a positive school experience and feel supported. Thanks for the privilege of being a part of your child's learning process.
