Star Student: Lochlyn Bell- We do not need snack this week.
We are reviewing the letters Bb and Dd this week.
We are reviewing numbers 0-18 this week.
We are reviewing the colors: blue and purple
We are reviewing the sight words big and did.
We are going to pack a lot in this week! We are going to be reviewing the above items as well as talking about St. Patrick's Day, Easter (since we will be on Spring break for Holy Week), Wednesday we will be having our 100th day of school, and Thursday we will be having our fieldtrip to ECS to see The Little Mermaid Jr.
Reminder- parents are not invited to the ECS fieldtrip. ECS only allows us enough seats for teachers and kids.
For our 100th day of school I am asking that each child bring 100 of something to add to the rest of the class to make a special 100th day snack mix. Examples of things to send are 100: cheerios, raisins, goldfish, vanilla wafers, gummy bears, fruit loops, cheezits, teddy grahams, marshmallows, m&m, skittles, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, etc. Please go ahead and have your child open the snack at home, wash their hands, and have them count out 100 of whatever they are bringing in. Put those 100 items in a Ziploc baggie. We are going to combine everyone's snacks.
Upcoming Events:
March 18-27th- Spring Break!

Letter: Bb
Number: 18
Sight word: Big
Chapel: Plagues
Color: Blue
We had a blast this last week looking at different Dr. Seuss books.
We read:
1. Fox in Socks and talked about rhyming words.
2. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and then sorted rainbow goldfish crackers, counted them, and wrote the correct number. We also made fish with our hands.
3. Oh the Places you will go and made hot air balloons.
4. Green Eggs and Ham. After reading we tried "green eggs" AKA vanilla pudding colored green with a vanilla wafer in the center to look like a green fried egg.
5. The foot book. We traced and the kids cut out their feet and measured how big their feet were with unifix cubes. We talked about who had the biggest and smallest feet in the class. They then measured the hallway upstairs with their feet.
6. The Cat in the Hat. We made thing hats. Sorry the tape was not holding the hair on very well.
7. The Lorax- The kids painted Truffula trees.
8. We read the Butter Battle Book and made homemade butter. We enjoyed homemade butter and crackers for snack one day.
This week:
Monday-
Tuesday- I will out in the morning. I will be returning by lunch time. Miss Jamie will be my sub for the morning.
Wednesday- Chapel
Thursday- Our make-up fieldtrip to the library is today! I will be leaving early today. Mrs. Brandy will be with the kids in the afternoon. Tuition and Cap and Gown forms are due today! If you do not turn in the cap and gown form your child will not have a cap and gown for graduation. Even if they are returning next year you need to order a cap and gown this year. You will be able to use the same one next year.

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.

Star Student: Kara- please bring snack for 8 kids for 4 days.
Letter: Ss- this letter is very difficult to make. Many kids will come home this week with notes on their papers saying the need to practice at home.
Sight word: See
Color: White
Chapel: We will continue to talk about the 10 plagues.
In class we are going to begin discussing what the season of Lent is as well as the true reason that we celebrate Easter.
We are suppose to be in school Monday. It is a snow make-up day. However, there is also a possibility of snow on Sunday night and Monday morning so stay tuned. I will notify you if we are delayed or cancelled due to snow. You know how unpredictable mother nature can be.
If you have not signed up to get texts from Mrs. Nicki please go to the HFYH private facebook page for directions on how to do this. If you are not a facebook user or have not been accepted to the private HFYH facebook page please let me know and we will get you signed up. This is a great way to be notified of changes to our school days.
The only changes that I know of this week are that I will be leaving early on Wednesday to take one of my daughters to an appointment. Mrs. Bandy is going to be with the kids in the late afternoon. The kids all know her and I fell very comfortable leaving them in her care.
I believe everyone enjoyed themselves at CMOE on Friday.
Due to the fieldtrip last Friday I will be sending letter bags home at the beginning of the week.

Letter: Hh
Number: 14
Color: yellow
Sight word: help
Chapel: We are discussing the Plagues that God put upon Egypt because the king would not let the Israelites go. This week we talked about the plague of blood. The kids are excited to see if the king "pharaoh" will let the Israelites go or what God will send next.
TUITION IS DUE THIS WEEK!
Thursday we will have an open house in our building for anyone wanting to come and check out our school for next year. If you talk to anyone who is possibly interested please have them come check us out. Thursday February 4th 8:30 am-2:45 pm. No need to make an appointment for this day.
We are filling very fast for next year!
If you child is going to be late or be absent please let me know via our class facebook page, HFYH facebook page, instant message me on facebook (I get these immediately), email me, or text me (again I get these immediately.)
The kids are doing a great job with morning drop off and are loving that they get to come up to the room by themselves and get themselves ready for the day! It is so cute to watch them become so independent!
We do have 3 upcoming fieldtrips. The one in February will be to CMoe and in March we will be making up our fieldtrip to the library. Also, the preK classes have been invited to ECS to watch their spring musical (The Little Mermaid). Parents are welcome and encouraged to join us for the fieldtrip to CMoe. The library does not require any parents and the ECS fieldtrip we will not be able to take anyone extra as they only send us just enough tickets.
SNOW MAKE UP DAYS!
