Dear Pre-K Families,
This week is a flex week, and we are having a fun time with our Halloween centers.  We have changed our dramatic play area into a 'pumpkin patch.'  We are working on letters Ss, Tt, Uu, Vv and Ww.  Our Nursery rhyme is "The Itsy Bitsy Spider."  We will also be learning about saints in preparation of All Saints Day Mass on Friday.  If your student attends on Friday, please have them arrive early enough to use the bathroom so we can leave by 8:05 to go down to the auditorium.  Thank you.

Thursday is Halloween. Please remember, if your student attends on Thursday, please do not send them in Halloween costumes. We do not wear costumes in preschool. We will have a special Halloween snack, and there is a snack sign up posted on the board.  If you have been fingerprinted, gone through safe environment training, and would like to help on Thursday, please let me know.  You may also send a small treat with your child to share with their friends.

Please remember to turn in your Money for the Trevino's dinner fundraiser if you have not already done so.  

Thank you,
Mrs. Veronica

Dear Pre-K Families,

It is a very busy time.  We have been very busy in the classroom.  Our dramatic play area has been transformed into an apple orchard.  The children have been having a lot of fun playing there and also playing with the apple scented play dough.  We have been having fun on 'fun Friday' we did some apple tasting and also created a jungle when we were learning about the letter Jj.  I am finishing up assessments in preparation of upcoming parent teacher conferences.  If you have not already signed up, please check your email from Mrs. Mary to sign up.  

We are in our theme 'Our Community'.  This week we will learn about people we meet.  We will be talking about  community jobs.  We have been working on one alphabet letter per day.  This week we will learn about Kk, Ll, Mm, Nn & Oo.  

Monday, we will be learning about fire safety.  It is also wear pink day for our school to support breast cancer awareness.

Tuesday, we will be making a chalk rosary in the back circle of the school with our 5th grade reading buddies.  This will be our tenth year continuing with this tradition.  Please have your child wear a warm coat as is may be cool outside in the morning.
