Week of January 27, 2025

Brrrr...Winter is so fun to learn about!

A Sneak Peek at Our Upcoming Week:  We will be working on Letter Oo, celebrating one of our favorite weather forecasters (hint hint... Shadows are in our classroom forecast for this week!) and we will be wrapping up some of our January Themes!

🍪🥛January 29th: Pre-K Pajama Day🥛🍪
     Please bring in One SOFT Snuggle Buddy (Stuffy, Doll, etc.) as your Show and Tell.
       Please NOTE that  Show and Tell will be on Wednesday this week , NOT FRIDAY!

💗Valentine's Day💗: We will be celebrating Valentine's Day in PreK-3 on Friday, February 14th. 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 13 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 preschool.  Your children may begin to bring in their cards whenever they are ready up through our celebration day on the 14th.  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.

Parent/Teacher Conferences   Thank you all so much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to meet with me.  We are so fortunate to have such incredible families in our class!  It is no wonder that your sweet little munchkins are all so special!!  Great Job Moms and Dads!!!
