Wild Winter Weather

February already???!!!  Wow, January went quickly, probably due to all the snow days.  We are ready for some warmer weather so we can get out to the playground again.  The children ask me almost daily if we can go to the playground.

This week, Progress Reports were sent home.  I am really pleased with the great progress that the children are making and I know they will continue to learn more each day.  Keep up the good work!
This week we also have many new works related to Valentine's Day.  The children have been making heart pattern head bands, bead bracelets, and heart collages.  The children also REALLY enjoyed exploring flubber (made with glue, water, and Borax) this week.  Last week they also enjoyed snow dough (shaving cream and corn starch) in the touch table.  The children have also come up with some great extensions and creations using the red rods and number rods including building a helicopter and a sleigh.

Our group meeting time this year has included activities such as sign in, counting friends and reporting the number, letter of the week, alphabet exercises, lesson presentations, and other activities.  I will be adding in calendar, weather, and rhyming this month.    

REMINDERS...
*Parent-teacher conferences 2/13 and 2/20
*No School 2/17
*Scholastic Book Orders due 2/14.  This is the last chance to order books this year.
* I will be going on maternity leave at the end of the month.  As soon as I know details for the long term sub, I will let you know.  I will be periodically checking my email while I'm gone.  Feel free to contact me, but please understand that it may be a few days before I get back to you.  I will likely be back for the last week of school.

2014-2015 Preschool Enrollment -
*If your child will be returning to preschool for the 2014-2015 school year, you do not have to attend the Parent Info Night (but are encouraged to do so) to turn in the orange application form.  You can fill out the form and return it in your child's folder.
*Class preference of returning preschool students will be considered first when creating class lists for next school  year.
*You will need to re-enroll for next school year (enrollment appointments made through the central enrollment office @ 924-2506).
*You must be current with your tuition payments to re-enroll for next year.
