A Sneak Peek at Our Upcoming Week: We will be learning Letter Oo, introducing the most famous weather forecaster in our country, learning about shadows in our Weather Unit as well as looking ahead to Valentine's Day!
Parent/Teacher Conferences Thank you all so much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to meet with me to discuss your little sweethearts. It was so nice getting to spend some time with our amazing families!
Valentine's Day: We will be celebrating Valentine's Day in PreK-3 on Monday, February 13th. (Valentine's Day is actually on Tuesday, 2/14 but we will be celebrating with our big group on Monday instead.) We will be exchanging Valentine's Day Cards in school. Please send in one card per child with only your own child's name on each as the from whom the card is and not the name for whom it is intended. This will make distribution much easier as the children are only just beginning to recognize each other's names. We have 12 children in our class. The children can either make their own little cards or they may be purchased. Please don't spend a lot on them, the dollar stores usually carry class sets. Please do not send in Valentines with food or candy as we have children with allergies in our school. Your children may begin to bring in their cards whenever they are ready up through our celebration day on the 13th. This little homework idea is completely optional: you may want to take this opportunity to have your child write their first initial (or full name if they are able to) on each of their cards and then finish the rest of their name for him/her.
IMPORTANT CHANGE: On Tuesday, January 31st, our morning friends will be dismissed at 12:30 instead of 12:00 so our teachers can join the rest of the faculty for an HSA sponsored luncheon. Our PreK lunch time conflicts with that of the Big School so we are requesting that our morning friends bring in their lunches and be dismissed a little later. Our room moms will be supervising the children during lunch. If you would prefer for your child to be dismissed at 12:00, please email me or send me a note so we can make arrangements. Thank you for your cooperation and for treating us to lunch that day! And a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to our room moms for volunteering their time to help us enjoy this special treat as well. 💕
