March in Review

March was such a great month and I can definitely already see a change in your kids. 

The things we covered in March were:

Letters A, B, C, and D

Counting

Easter

Dr. Seuss

St. Patricks Day

AB Patterns

And much much more!

I am going to start posting on here more of what we do in class, so you as parents can work with your kids at home. Some things that will really help me is working on the letters at home and counting. Counting comes much easier for them I have noticed, but letter recognition is something younger kids struggle with. It is so fun to see them become friends with each other and they are starting to get used to the classroom setting and the whole idea of having a teacher. Any time that you can help them write their name is always a big help as well, and of course we do all these things in the classroom almost every time but the extra practice really helps them.

REMIDERS:

          Payments are due this next week! It is $6.00 each class so for the month of April there will be 9 classes so it is $54.00. Please send it in your child's folder or hand it to me at the first  class of the month.

Themes for April:

          I am switching around the themes for each month and for this month our themes will be:

              Letters E,F,G,H

              Flowers 

              Bugs

              Pets

              Space

 

Two weeks Already?

These past two weeks have been so fun! Your kids are so fun to teach and I really hope they are enjoying it as much as I am. Just a couple reminders:

         Toddler Class: Don't Forget NO CLASS on Thursday March 21 (next week). I will be out of town. 

So I had mentioned before that they would need to bring their Easter Baskets for an Easter Egg hunt but I am no longer going to do that. We will still have an Easter themed week next week and have a lot of fun activities going on but with me going out of town and having one less day with my Toddler class I won't be doing a full out Easter Egg hunt. 

Please feel free to call/text/email me anytime! 

March Newsletter

    Welcome! I am so excited to teach your kids and I hope they are ready to learn. I will try to update this blog as much as possible and also send out an occasional email if it is important. (When I say PRE K that is my older class, and when I say Toddler class that is my 3-4 age group class)

    We will be doing some things in class that will need parent involvement at home. One of those things is Student of the Week. This is a chance for your child to step out of that comfort zone and let us know all about him/her and be the STAR of that week. When it is your child’s turn there will be a take home paper so you will be able to know what to do. He/She will get the student of the week bag the week before it is their turn. On the first day of preschool for that week he/she will bring the “Star of the Week” paper that he/she will share with the class. The second day he will bring back the bag filled with 3 of their favorite things (must fit in the bag) and their favorite snack to share with everyone for that day. During the week they will also be my main helper in passing out snacks, papers, etc.

    I forgot that Easter is actually in the month of March this year, so I am going to be adding a weekly theme for Easter! During that week we will be having an Easter Egg hunt. For Pre K it will be on Wednesday March 27 and for the Toddlers (3-4) it will be on Thursday March 28. On this day please have your child bring their Easter basket.

    Make sure  you child brings the notebook that I will give them in class on the first day each time! One side says ‘Bring Back’ and the other side says ‘Take home’. If its in the take home side then you know that you can take that out of the notebook and they do not need to bring it back. But if it is in the bring back side that means they will need to bring that paper back and you might need to look at it.

    **Toddler class only: There will be no class on March 21 (Thursday) I will be out of town.
