January 2016 Preschool News
Miss Angie, Miss Jane & Miss Tara
Welcome back!
The first week back to school went great! I think we were all ready to get back into the school routine. We were actually able to get outside everyday last week. This weeks temperatures are a bit colder but hopefully it warms back up so we can get outside again next week. The 4 year old's go outside if the temperature is 20 degrees or above with the windchill. Please plan on bringing your child's winter gear everyday or make sure and check the temperature for the day before school. If checking the temperature, we go outside at 10:00 so make sure to check the temperature for that time. Please make sure to label all winter items, we have 19 pairs of hats, mittens, coats, snow pants and boot.s We don't want your child's stuff going home with the wrong person. This makes it easier on everyone. Thanks for your help. Please practice with your child to become as independent as possible with getting their winter clothing on. It is good practice for kindergarten as they will have to do 100 percent on their own next year.
