Hi Families,
Last week-We wrapped up time and money learning last week. I love to see when kids start thinking about things and getting a little bit of understanding, just the tip of the iceberg so to speak. That really is what we do here, lots of introduction to ideas and concepts that they will be mastering in the next few years. Hopefully you are seeing some growth and progress in your Busy Bee. I just love this time of the school year! Be sure and read further down about reading groups and what a busy next few weeks we have.
This week-We couldn’t get through this week without doing a few fun activities that celebrate St. Paddy’s Day! So we will learn a fun rhyming song,count and hunt for leprechauns. We will also have a fun science discovery activity with Christina(Ben’s Mom) all about rocks and formations.
This week we are creating some fantastic art to display at our Art show/Family breakfast this Saturday, so be sure and plan on joining us!
The Busy Bee kids have shown some interest in flowers and growing things, which is great for this time of year and our early springtime happening. So for the few weeks we are going to explore flowers/springtime/growing. We will be planting some seeds, learning about what plants need to grow and even doing a “report” on a flower! Watch for more in the next few weeks.
Reading groups- Your Busy Bee will be bringing home a folder with a book in it that we have read as a small group. At home we would like you to have your child”read” this book to you and help them complete any worksheets or games that are in the folder. Then All materials need to be returned to school. Everyone will do one reading group a week. Your support of this activity will be important to how much your child gets out of it. Please take time to do the reading,game or work in the folder and then help return it to school.
Hough St. Paddy’s Day parade-This Tuesday, March 17th at 12:00 our school will be walking in the Parade to celebrate St. Patricks Day and our awesome community. We will let classes out early at 11:45 on this day so you can get your kids and meet us there. You may also want to bring your child a lunch to eat before we walk , since it is during a normal lunchtime. It starts right in front of Hough Elementary school and goes in a loop through the neighborhood and onto main street then back to the school. It is a very easy walk and strollers are welcomed. Please consider coming with your family and showing support for our school by joining us in the parade. As always, parents are responsible for transportation and supervision of their children during these events.
Family breakfast and Art show-This Saturday March 21st from 8:00-10:00 AM we would like for your family to join us to celebrate two great things: Children's Art and Families. This is our way of Thanking the great families we have here at LAPSK and to show some fun creative art that your child has done. We will be serving pancakes,sausage, fruit and coffee/milk and its all free for families/students. This will also be opening day of our spring Scholastic Book fair, so come check it out too.
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.
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. The Basket themes will be a “Beer Basket”(for the adults) and a “Super hero Basket” for the kids. The sign up sheets are out in the hallway.We could use a few more donations. If you would like to donate some $$ instead of an item for the basket, thats great too. We will do the shopping for you. Thanks so much for your support! We will need all donations by March 30th.
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. Remember that each family is required to do 2 hours of volunteering per child during the school year.
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.
