Hi Families,
Last week-Thank you for helping make our winter concerts a big success! We love seeing the families come out and enjoy the evening. Also thank you for the huge support during the scholastic Book sale. We had several books donated from the “wish list”. Did you know that when you buy books, the classroom earns free books? Thanks again for making books important to our students.
The kids brought home their “surprises’ for their families last week. They may give them to whomever they wish and whenever they wish. These gifts were made with love, we hope you enjoy them.
This time of year can be very exciting for kids, schedules are disrupted, bedtimes are pushed back due to holiday fun and of course the anticipation of Santa and presents can be overwhelming. Remember to keep some sort of schedule if possible and expect some wild behavior. Thats what our plan is this week in class!
This week- We are starting off the week making some candy houses. Please remember to send in whatever you signed up for. We will be making them mon/Tues with each Busy Bee making only one house. We will hopefully get to spend some time with outside play, the kids seem to need extra this time of year, so dress for the weather.
On Wednesday we will walk across the street to visit at Kindred and sing some songs to the Grandmas and Grandpas. Parents are always welcome to come along.
We will be doing a countdown to Christmas activity and keep our work time full of the holiday theme. Read below to find out about the Classroom holiday party.
Classroom holiday party- This Friday Dec. 19th we will have a day of fun as we celebrate the holiday with a party during class. Please send the items you signed up for on the sign up sheet. During our party we will do a book gift exchange. Each Busy Bee needs to bring a new $5 wrapped book with their name on the “from” . We will each have a chance to pick a book and then open it and thank the person who it was from. This is a great way to learn about giving and getting gifts and how to be happy with what we have.
Fundraisers-LAPSK is a non profit preschool, fundraising is an important piece to our program. Our current fundraisers are Fred Meyers gives back to schools! Go to https://www.fredmeyer.com/topic/community-rewards-4 to register your rewards card and give back to Little Acorn Preschool and Kindergarten. Shoparoo.com and also Box tops for Education.
Sick kids- The cold/flu season is upon us and we want to keep our classroom as germ free as possible. We will be disinfecting and cleaning on a daily basis. You can help by having your Busy Bee wash hands before coming into class and keeping them home if they are showing signs of illness. We would like to keep track of illness, so giving the office a quick call to let us know or sending me a text or email would be helpful. Thanks for helping us keep a healthy environment to play and learn in.
Volunteering: If you would like to volunteer in class and come see what your Busy Bee is doing, we would love to have you. I usually have some easy task that needs done, repairing books or prepping for upcoming activities. Your time in class is very helpful and you get a chance to see what our day is like and how your child is interacting. There is a sign up sheet in the hallway for dates/times. Thanks in advance for your support.
Contact info: Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. I am fine with a text or a call or you can email. I am here to help you and your child have a great school year and feel honored that you have chosen us for your family’s preschool experience.
