LNPD Weekly Updates
I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break!
Happy belated St. Patrick's Day to all of our families too. We had a leprechaun visit our last classroom this week. No pinching going on around here!!!
This week we had two Crazy Sock days and saw Pepsi, bacon and eggs, gummy bear, tornado, bunny, rainbow, wonder woman, unicorn and many more fun socks.
Our two 4's classrooms had real caterpillars show up and will be watching their transformation from caterpillar to butterfly.
Life cycle's are being shared in all our classrooms for our kick off to Spring.
Classroom Themes
3's classes learned all about Spring. They also learned about the letter Ii for Isabella Inch Worm. Lots of counting with seeds and bugs, soil and flowers in the sensory table, and spring cleaning was going on in this classroom too, by washing dishes.
Our 4's classes focused on Eggs this week. Not only chicken eggs were found in the room, but snake eggs, turtle eggs, dinosaur eggs, and they got to decorate an egg with our egg spinner too. They focused on the letter Ee for Elmo the Elephant and learned the two Ee sounds, both long and short.
Our 4's M-F had St. Patrick's week. I think they loved seeing all the green activities in the classroom along with all the Leprechaun antics. He dyed their water table water green and put sparkles all over too. He left a mess behind and some yummy gold candies. The kids did lots of writing with St. Patrick words and counting with clovers or shamrocks.
March Calendar of Events
Our GREEN newsletter and calendar went home with your child this month. Please make sure you are making note of important dates and activities each month. We don't want any of our families missing out on all the stuff going on at Learn 'N Playday!!! If you ever lose yours, I post our monthly newsletter and calendar on our LNPD website.

Throughout the school year you are always able to update your status to auto-pay. However, if you choose to pay manually, you can make your payment at anytime in the two week period from the time of invoice, up until the last day of the month without a $25 late fee. Any late payments will receive the late fee and it will be charged automatically on your next months invoice. I try to send several reminders to help you avoid these fees.
Families were sent an invoice on 3/18 via email from Eleyo.
April tuition is due no later than 3/31 by midnight.

LNPD Late arrival and Phone Calling
Illness Reminders:
If sick, your child must be:
1. fever free 24 hours
2. vomit free 24 hours
3. diarrhea free for 24 hours, all before sending them back to school
They also need to be medicine free at school. Giving Tylenol or other fever reducing medicines in the morning can upset their stomachs and also lead to fevers and vomiting later in the day or children falling asleep.
We have had a lot of runny noses and coughing at LNPD and a few kids have had the tummy bug. Please be on the lookout for any of these things and keep your children home if they are within that 24 hours of being contagious.
Recess Information
If it is 90-99 actual temperature or heat index, we have a shortened recess time of 10 minutes
It is 100 or above actual temperature or heat index it is INDOOR recess only
35 or below actual or wind child, INDOOR recess only
36-40 degrees its shortened recess and all students must have appropriate jacket and clothing
Air Quality alerts are also shortened recess 10-15 minutesPotty Reminders
Please make sure you have your child use the restroom before leaving your houses in the mornings. Also, please remind your children to tell the teachers when they need to go potty. Some of the accidents we are experiencing is because our students either wait too long to tell someone or they do not inform the teachers that they need to go. (Every LNPD class goes as a class at least 3-4 times per day)
Please have a full change of clothes in your child's backpack. Socks and shoes included and more than one pair of underwear and pants or shorts are always helpful too. Please also make sure your children's clothing items are labeled.
Other Important Information
- Field trips and LNPD activities have begun. All parents must complete a background check prior to participating in any of these activities. This process may take up to two weeks to complete. I have included the link for easy access if you are interested in volunteering. https://www.allenisd.org/page/register-volunteer
- We are not using water fountains this year, so a water bottle is definitely needed. We have a touch free, filtered water bottle station in the LNPD hallway, so we can refill their bottles too.
