Busy Bee Newsletter For March 16-20

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.

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.

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.

Busy Bee Newsletter For March 2-6

Hi Families,
Last week-The Busy Bee’s are having a great time “Shopping” in our classroom store, we’ll keep it up again this week. We have had some good conversations about healthy bodies and have talked about healthy food and junk food. 
Family Fun night was awesome, we had lots of families come out and celebrate Dr. Seuss with us. We love to see everyone and enjoy watching our school community come together and support our kids. If you were not able to come this time, mark your Calendar for our Family Breakfast and art show later this month on Saturday the 21st.
This week-We are going to be wrapping up our healthy bodies learning with a fun cooking project on Monday and Tuesday. We will be making an “edible rainbow” and then learn how to eat a rainbow everyday. Hopefully we will encourage trying some new foods and thinking about what foods do for our bodies. 
We will also be introducing our unit on Money and Time this week. We will be talking about the names of the different coins and will be doing counting and sorting activities. We will be learning about clocks and what the hands do on them and talk about different times of the day.
We will be doing some letter sharing once again. This time the kids are bringing home a “Letter sharing bag”. This bag needs to come back to school on the next school day with something that begins with the letter on the bag. We will reuse these bags, so returning them to school in a timely manner will be important.
Reading groups-We are getting ready to begin reading groups starting March 9th. 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.

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.

Busy Bee Newsletter For Feb 23-27

Hi Families,
Last week-Hopefully your Busy Bee has been telling you all about how to keep teeth healthy! We learned a bunch last week about teeth and even got to have a visit on Friday from a Dentist, Dr Suzie. She played a fun flossing game with the kids and told them a story about a tooth. The kids brought home a tooth brushing chart to help remember to brush in the morning and at night.
We were scheduled to go sing to the Grandmas and Grandpas last week, but they have had illness over there and wanted to keep us safe and healthy, so we will try again in March.
This week-This week we are going to learn about keeping our whole bodies healthy. How to keep germs away,eat and drink to be healthy, why exercise is important and how much sleep to get. We will be making a fun art project to help us remember to cover when we cough or sneeze and doing an activity to show how we spread germs that we cannot see. We will also be creating a “Grocery store” in our classroom and be thinking about how to shop for healthy foods. We could use some empty food boxes that the kids can “Shop” for and several kids mentioned that they had a cash register or other shopping related items they would like to share with us. We would love that as long as they are willing to let everyone use them.
Family Fun night-This month we have a free evening of family fun planned. On this coming 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.

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.

Busy Bee Newsletter For Feb 2-6

Hi Families,
Last week-Such a great time finishing up our Winter themed learning with the Hibernation Celebration. The kids loved wearing their pjs to school and throughly enjoyed the activities that went along with the day. Thanks for helping make it so fun for the Busy Bee class.
This week- So here we are in February! We are going to start out talking and learning about emotions, love and how we “feel”. We will be doing some activities all about things “we Love” and talking about what different emotions look and feel like on ourselves and our friends. We have a fun game to play and a song to learn about love. We are going to send home a letter sharing bag this week. Help your Busy Bee pick out something to “share” that begins with the letter on the bag.When they bring it back to school, we will try to guess whats in the bag and then write the word on our wordwall. We haven’t done these for a while and the kids love to bring things to share.Remember it has to fit in the bag and start with the letter. 
Registration for 2015-2016 school year: We are hoping to have our kindergarten class next Fall and would love to have your child here at LAPSK. The class size is half that in public schools and is not full day. They will cover all the same curriculum as Public school Kindergarten.

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.
