Monthly Letter - March 2015

Dear Family:

Our preschool year is certainly breezing by! March, our breezy month, will bring a rustle of activities that are aimed at providing the children with skill builders that are sure to please. This delightful, breezy month is filled with lots of green fun and fantasy. The shamrock will be our shape for this month and of course, green is our color of the month!

March will begin with a Dr. Seuss celebration followed by a two week study on dinosaurs! We will be immersed in everything dinosaurs.

We will follow our dinosaur study with a unit on spring (it’s so very close!) which will also include wind and kites. (What would spring be without them?). This month is sure to “breeze” by.

Top o’ the mornin’ from preschool! 

Wishing you a marvelous March!

Sheri, Miranda, Fabi & Bethany

P.S.  We will celebrate the “wearin’ of the green” on Monday, March 16th and Tuesday, March 17th. Please be sure to send your child to school wearing something green!

Monthly Letter - February 2015

Dear Family:

February is going to be a busy month in preschool! We will continue with our community helpers and transportation units. We will also start the month by looking to see if our furry, underground friend sees his shadow. And, we’ll discuss and experiment with the concept of shadows.

Love will be in the air as we discuss how we can show our love to those who love us through caring and sharing. The children will be making something special to bring home to give to the special people in their lives.

Our two famous presidents will inspire our math and social studies readiness work. Hearts will be our shape of the month (of course), and pink and red will be our colors of the month!

We will also celebrate the 4th birthdays of both Andrew and Sophia!

Join in our month of celebrations by discussing with your child your family traditions and relationships, as well as what it means to be president!

Hope yours is a fabulous February!

Love from Preschool,

Sheri, Miranda, Fabi & Bethany

Monthly Letter - January 2015

Dear Family,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The holidays may be over, but not the learning and fun in preschool.  “The World Around Me” and “Community and Transportation” are the themes for this month.  Preschoolers will be introduced to community helpers and various transportation vehicles, as well as participate in activities that include role playing, movement, and vocabulary building.

In addition, we will also be celebrating the beauty of winter and the snow that comes along with this wonderful season.  Our math, social studies, and science readiness projects will all relate to this winter theme. Circles (snowballs) and octagons (stop signs) are our shapes of the month and blue and white are our colors of the month. Join in our fun by asking your child to tell you about what he/she learned in school each day.

If you have not already done so, please be sure to send in an extra change of clothing appropriate for the cold weather, as well as extra underclothes.  Parents must also supply diapers and wipes if your child requires changing during the school day.  Please be sure to label these as well.

Thank you for your continued cooperation.

Here’s to a joyful January!

Sheri, Miranda, Fabi & Bethany

Monthly Letter - December 2014

December 2014

Dear Parents:

This winter month of December is filled with exciting things for the children to learn about and enjoy. The festivities of the holidays bring joy and warmth that envelop both your child’s home and school lives.

AT SCHOOL:

We will continue our celebration of “My Home and Family” this month. Of course, we will also be celebrating all of the December holidays which include Chanukah, Christmas and Kwanzaa. We will talk about how different people celebrate these joyous holidays as well as participate in many fun art, cooking and learning projects. In addition, we will begin planning our holiday party.

AT HOME:

Music and singing are wonderful ways to communicate our feelings, and we often have many feelings this time of year! When singing festive holiday songs, encourage traditional songs as well as new ones!

REMINDER:

Our last day of school will be December 19th. School will reopen on January 5th of the New Year.

We look forward to sharing the joys and wonders of this holiday season together.

Have a joyful December!

Dear Families:

October is here!  September has flown by in class.  It was such a busy month.  We all got to know each other while exploring our classroom environment.

We invite you to join in our fun and learning by appreciating and discussing the projects your child brings home.

Hope you have a “Boooo—tiful” month!
