Dear Pre-K Families,

We are in week 2 of our 2nd theme, My Family- We Take Care of Each Other.  Our letter of the week will be letter Dd.   Our Big Idea is, I love my family and they love me.  We will be discussing caring and kindness, family roles and responsibilities, interdependence, and feelings.  We will also focus on learning more about the Holy Family.  I will also be conducting one-on-one assessments with each student over the next few weeks.

We would like to welcome two new families to our class.  We are blessed that our school family is growing. 

Please remember to sign in your student in the morning and out at pick up time.  Your student must be signed in and out by a person that is 18 years of age or older.  The classroom opens at 7:45am.  If your child arrives earlier than that, please check them into room 10.  Our morning routine is to wash our hands and use the restroom before entering the classroom.  Please have your student arrive with enough time that they are able to sign in before 8:00am.  At 8:00am, we begin with our morning message and prayer/Pledge of Allegiance.  We will continue to work on Friend of the Day and continue to have students show and tell about their Super Kid Posters.  As we finish, we have been sending them home.  Every other week, we have been visiting the school garden with our 6th grade science buddies.  Our Preschool students planted pumpkins this summer and they have been planted in the school garden where we are growing our own pumpkin patch.  We were soo excited to see that small pumpkins are already starting to form.  On Wednesday, we are visited by our 5th grade reading buddies and enjoy listening to them read to us.  Thursdays, we go around the room and ask for prayer intensions from each student.  This gives them a chance to pray for someone they care about.  Thursday is also our day to visit the school Library.  We always enjoy our time with Mrs. Poole, the school Librarian.  On the last Wednesday of the month, we celebrate all birthdays from the month.  We will have a special birthday snack sign up for the children celebrating.  If your family would like to contribute to the special snack, you can sign up on the bulletin board.  The last Friday of the month is usually the day that preschool provides a lunch to donate to St. Vincent De Paul for those that may not have food to eat for lunch.  We send home a lunch bag that your child has colored that you may fill and return on Friday. 

Reminder, the Ages and Stages Questionnaires are due by Friday, September 14th.
