What We've Been Doing This Week
We kept everything else the same because the room was being moved out and our routine was all different.
The Letter of the Week was "L." We concentrated on naming objects that start with the /l/ sound. When reading a story or watching T.V., you can help your child remember the letter "l" by pointing out things that start with /l/.
The Number of the Week was "4." We always count each day and we've been working on counting to 10. We practiced counting quickly "1, 2, 3!" You can help your child with their counting skills by objects or counting how long it takes to do an activity (such as brushing your teeth.)
The Shape of the Week was an oval. Our oval rhyme is "I am Ollie Oval. A football shape is mine. Some people think that I'm an egg, but I think I look fine!"
The Color of the Week was pink. So far we've worked on the colors red, blue, yellow, purple, pink, and green as well. You can help your child learn their colors by saying the colors of the objects, such as "Here is the red cup."
Potty Training
Sickness
If you think your child might be sick or if they seem like they do not feel well, please keep them home. Pre-k children still don't understand about covering their mouths and though we try to sanitize everything, it is easy to spread germs. Some of our children have health concerns that are made higher when they get sick.

Snow Delays and Days Update
If Gouverneur Central School District has a delay or a snow day, then your child will also have a delay or a snow day.
If Gouverneur is running on time, but your home school district has a delay or a snow day, then your child will have a snow day. At this time, First Student will not be doing a second run.
If your district is running on time, but the bus needs to travel through a district that is experiencing bad weather, it is up to the bus driver and First Student whether it is safe to transport your child to school. If they determine its not, they will call you to let you know.
