Busy Bee Newsletter For Feb 9-13

Hi Families,
Last week-We had some great conversations about how we feel and the different emotions. Each day the kids checked in by putting their name on the “feeling chart” under the face/feeling they were having. Through out the day the kids could change it if their feelings changed. We also talked a lot about love and how we show love and the things we love. We worked on number writing and put a page in our portfolio books.
This week- Lots of fun activities are coming up for the week ahead. We are going to be doing Valentine Day bags so we can have them for our parties. We have some fun science to do on Tuesday and a bunch of Valentines day activities to keep us busy all week long. The Classroom parties will be on Thursday and Friday. The kids can bring V-day cards to exchange with their friends and remember to send the snack item that you signed up for on our “Favorite things” sign up.
LAPS for LAPSK is this Thursday,February 12th, info went out in cubbies so your child can get some pledges. This is a fundraiser that gives Grandparents, family and friends a chance to support our school and gives your kids a night of running/walking laps to earn some money for their school. Have folks sponsor your child per lap or a set amount, then come on Feb. 12 from 5:30-7:00 and have your Busy Bee “run” their laps upstairs in Jason Lee Hall. We will have water to keep kids hydrated and a take home surprise for participating.
Fundraisers-LAPSK is a non profit preschool, fundraising is an important piece to our program.We are hopeful that with a variety of fundraisers your family will find one that is the right fit for you and you can help support our fantastic school. 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. And Shoparoo.com that is any easy way to earn money for our school right on your smart phone. Box tops for education is going to be wrapping up for the year and we need your box tops! Please send in box tops by the end of February.
LAPSK Auction Night-Mark your Calendars for Saturday April 18th and make your plans to join us for the LAPSK auction/dinner at Big Als. We will be putting together an auction basket as a classroom for the silent auction. If you would like to be in charge of organizing this, let me know. We need to pick a theme, collect donations from Busy Bee families and then put it together. This would count as volunteer time.
Family Fun night-This month we have a free evening of family fun planned. On Friday,Feb 27 from 5:30-7:00 we will be celebrating Dr.Seuss with fun activities and a dance party! Bring the whole family and enjoy some free family fun.
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. Also we could use someone to take home the recycle box.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.
