Newsletter February 22-24, 2016

Star Student: Peyton- please bring snack for 8 kids for 4 days.

This week is a review week!  We will be reviewing the letters Hh, Oo, and Ss.

Numbers: We will be reviewing the numbers 14, 15, and 16.

Colors: We will review the colors orange, yellow, and white.

Sight words: We will be reviewing help, on, and see.  As you read with your child and you come to a word we have had as a sight word.  Have them try to figure out what the word is.  Some of the kids know them be looking at them already, some are trying to sound them out,  and some are not there at all.  It is not necessary to be reading until around Christmas of kindergarten.  I am very proud of how each of the kids in the class has been growing and improving!

We have a new North high school student who joined us this week.  Her name is Ally.  She will be with us twice a week until May.  She is helping me do some prepping of  cards for the kids rings.  She is also enjoying interacting with the kids.  She has been a great asset to me already!

Please remind anyone picking up a child at the end of the day that they have to go through the pick up line.  We have had people walking to the door to pick up children.  They will have to wait until all cars have left the pick up line before I will release the child to them from here on out.

Upcoming Events:

This Thursday, February 25th we have a dental hygienist coming in to talk with the kids about taking care of their teeth and what a dentist does.  February is Dental Health Month.

Our library fieldtrip has been rescheduled.  It will be Thursday, March 10th.  This fieldtrip is not one that we recommend parents missing work to attend.  We will get a tour of Oaklyn library, sing some songs, listen to stories, and I believe they will make an art project.

Cap and Gown order forms will be coming home on Monday.  They cost $17 for both the cap and gown.  If your child has a sibling or friend with a red Home for your heart cap and gown you will only need the tassel for $2.  This will be invoiced to your account for April whenever you return your form.  Even if your child will be returning for a second year of Pre-K they will still walk through graduation and you will be able to use the same gown next year.  We do NOT order extra cap and gowns.  If you do  not return your form by March 10th we can not guarantee that your child will have one for graduation.

Thursday, March 17th is our fieldtrip to ECS spring musical. Parents are not invited to attend this fieldtrip.  ECS pays for this fieldtrip.  We attend the performance that they put of for the school.  ECS sends us just enough tickets for the students and teachers to attend.  ECS also pay for the busses to get us there. 

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
