Pre-K3: Week of January 20, 2025

What did you wear to school today?!?

A Sneak Peek at Our Upcoming Week: We will be working on our Winter and Weather Themes, Cloudy Weather, Learning Letter Nn, Noah's Ark and Numbers! The forecast for PreK-3 this week is promising to be a very busy and lots of FUN!!

Disclaimer: You may notice that less schoolwork is coming home in your child's folder lately... The reason why is that we are playing more learning games, we are decorating our classroom and hallway, we will soon be working on several in class science experiments as well as the the fact that we are holding onto our little scientists' projects and writing samples for a BIG SURPRISE that we are secretly putting together!!! No questions regarding that please!!!

💗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 will be from Tuesday, January 21st through Thursday, January 23rd. Please note that some conferences will take place in our classroom and others will be in the St Therese Church Office which is right down the hall from the Church entrance, just past the restrooms.
