Busy Bee Newsletter For March 9-13

Hi Families,
Last week-We talked about Money last week. The names of the coins and their value. We did some creative writing about what we would save our money for and drew pictures of it. The letter sharing bags were a big hit, we will try to keep that in our weekly plan.
This week-We are going to keep with our time and money learning this week. We will be making clocks so we can start to get familiar with the parts of a clock and how they help us as we move through our day. We will be sorting daytime activities and nighttime activities during a group time. Our creative writing will be about “My Favorite time of day” as the kids give some thought to the different parts of their day. Reading groups will start this week and continue until the end of May. We go outside every day that it is not raining, so please help your Busy Bee to have the best clothes/jacket/shoes for the weather of the day.
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. Paddys Day parade-On Tuesday March 17th at 12:00 our school will be walking in the Parade to celebrate St. Patricks Day and our awesome communtiy. 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-On Saturday March 21st we would like for your family to join us to celebrate two great things: Children’s Art and Families.
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. 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!
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.
