Hi Families,
Last week-Hopefully everyone enjoyed the week off and the break from routines to have some fun. When we left school last we were thinking all about planting, spring and things that grow. We will be continuing on with this as we head back in to the classroom.
*Important-The elevator in the building will be out of order this week as they wait on the replacement part to repair it. Please remember that the elevator is for strollers, wheelchairs or folks that cannot do the stairs. Kids should never be on it without an adult and we would encourage you to have your kids with you, using the stairs before and after school. Thanks for your help and sorry for the inconvenience during repairs this week.
This week-We have a very busy week back to school! It is our schools annual celebration of children we call “The week of the young child”. It will be full of special guests and snacks each day. Also we will have a “Theme” each day to show our school spirit! Here is the run-down: Monday-Silly hair Tuesday-Silly socks/silly hair Wednesday-Hat day Thursday-Stripes and dots Friday-Favorite color day. Have your Busy bee join us in the fun and wear the theme of the day.
We will also continue on with our regular classroom activities and talk about Earth day, how to keep our planet green and growing. We will do an activity about recycling and why its important. We would like to create some recycled art and could use some clean, not to big items that you may have around the house(plastic,paper,cans,lids,boxes, etc..) We will be planting some corn and beans and talking some more about what they need to grow.
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.
LAPSK Auction Night-Tickets are still on sale for our Fun Auction night at Big Al’s on April 18th from 5-8pm, that is this coming Saturday. With your ticket you will get dinner/drink and a coupon for bowling(to be used with your family at the next visit). This is a grown-up only evening. We have so many great silent auction items, you are sure to get a great deal and support our school all at once. You can get a ticket from the preschool office or from me in the classroom. Be sure and check out our classroom baskets and the other baskets that will be up for silent auction all week until the event on Saturday night, they will be up by the preschool office. There will also be a canvas that the kids created that will be up for silent auction all week until Friday at Noon. It will be outside our classroom.
This event/auction this year will be raising funds for a new outdoor sign,a fantastic piece of equipment for the playground, as well as supporting our scholarship program.
Kindergarten orientation-As we roll into spring , be aware of when the Kindergarten orientation is for the school your child will attend in the Fall. Most schools have one in April/May to get families ready for what to expect and give the kids a chance to see the big kid school and gain some familiarity with the building/staff. You can contact the school or check the districts website for date/times. Let me know if you have any questions about this next step in your child’s learning experience.
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.
