Preschool Newsletter
November 23th, 2022
During the month of November, we have encouraged our preschoolers to reflect on meaningful moments and loved ones in their lives for which they are thankful. We should all stop for a moment and practice gratitude from time to time. Thank you for entrusting your children's education with us and it is our honor to watch our preschoolers grow, ask questions, explore, and share their lives with us!

What Can You Do At Home?
Take a few moments to talk with your family members about what you love about them! You might be surprised to hear about all of the ways your child feels and appreciates your love. Sharing what we love about each other helps build confidence and strong family bonds. If you have an infant or a younger child, tell them what you love about them!
Why It’s Important
Research tells us that when children feel connected and loved they are more confident, resilient, and ready to learn. Thinking about our family and what we love about each person builds self-awareness and strong family bonds.
Not Ready Yet
Have your child tell you what is special about each member of the family. Write down everything that’s mentioned, and encourage your child to illustrate it with pictures!
Need a Challenge
Have your child share a special day or memory from your family. What happened? Who was there? Encourage your storyteller to write it down and share the story with others.
Journal/Talk
Draw a family portrait together. Include things that make each person special. Label your portrait. Book Recommendations
