Greetings! 

We have been working hard on matching colors, writing the first letter of our name (or more), increasing our independence with toileting, and handling our backpacks and coats.  Overall we had a great time with snowmen.  Now we are working on transportation.

Today we cut and painted airplanes with Ms. Stephanie.  We have had snowball fights lying on our stomachs and while standing on our knees with Ms. Lenore.  Ms. Sarah and Ms. Lorraine have been coming in on various days to make up for the Mondays we have been off.  They are working on expressive language, matching, and giving functions of objects.

I am very proud of the little ones.  I am appreciative of all the parent support.

Please send in any box tops as the contest ends Monday.

Have a safe and warm weekend!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

WoW!! I am so pleased with the progress that the children made over break.  We know more colors, shapes, starting to tell stories, and we even remembered how to sit and listen.  (Well, at least most of us:)

We have been working on hibernating bears, snowman, and snowflakes. Please remember to return your families snowflake completing the phrase "My family is unique because..."  We would also appreciate if you could send the progress envelopes back to use next time.

While I am sending reminders and talking about snow, the 2 hour delay schedule for preschool follows:
AM 11:00 – 12:45 and PM 1:45 – 3:30

We have been working hard on all aspects including handwriting, literacy, and math.  We are busy learning, but still making time for crafts that practice our skills.  We have most of those here to cover the white walls.  We will send them home in a few weeks or as we rotate them out.

The next two weeks we will be adding in transportation as a theme.  Ms. Lenore (PT) will be visiting us on Mondays for the remainder of the year.

Keep warm and have a great long weekend!!
