AISD Learn 'N Playday Preschool Updates for the Week of 4/8
LNPD Weekly Updates
This week we had our Solar Eclipse on Monday. What a great experience to see with our cool glasses and feel the temperature drop and see the skies become dark! I hope everyone got out and were able to enjoy the spectacular occurrence!
We had our wonderful Music Program on Wednesday evening. What an enjoyable night and so much fun for the kids to show off all their singing and dancing talents. Everyone did such a great job and they all worked so hard making it a great show.
Scholastic Book Orders went home for April. This is your final chance to get some books ordered for summer reading and prepping for the 2024-2025 school year. Site reading and phonics books are a great option to help your early readers. REMEMBER....reading with your child helps to increase their vocabulary and it's great to instill a love for reading at a young age.
I hope you all were able to get into the AISD Summer Camps! If you did not, there are still openings in some of the camps for our age group listed below, so make sure you sign up soon.
*A friendly reminder to please try to be on time to LNPD....we leave carpool promptly at 9am.
*Please refrain from making a second row at carpool. Only pull forward if there is spot in front of your child's teachers.
*LNPD YELLOW monthly newsletters and calendars went home this month. There are many activities coming up over the next few months, so do not miss out!!!
Butterflies and Cocoons at LNPD
Classroom Themes
3's classes learned all about Farms and Farming this week. They learned about the animals on the farms along with the planting that is also part of the farming world. The kids got to learn with many farm animals and also had the chance to plant some grass and flowers. We are hoping to see some blooming occurring in time for Open House. The kids started working on writing their names as a daily table activity. Hopefully, they will be proficient by May, so they can start off our 4's classes already writing not only their names, but several things.
Our 4's classes focused on the Farm-animals this week. They did their planting last week, so we already see blooming going on. There was lots of animal and farmer activities in the classroom this week. The kids did measuring, patterning and a lot of writing of animal words too. The 4's also introduced a new writing activity where they are now writing sentences on the sentence strips. A difficult activity, but definitely one that will get them used to spacing out words, starting their sentences with a capital letter and also ending with punctuation.
Our 4's M-F had Eggs week. The kids counted mini sparkle eggs, counted frogs to put on lily pads and used a penguin scale to balance numbers too. They did a frog puzzle and had a fish game to play with too. The kids put together alligator alphabet puzzles and practiced writing their names too. They also had a butterfly emerge from its cocoon on Thursday.

Our YELLOW newsletter and calendar went home with your child. Please make sure you are making note of important dates and activities each month.

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.

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.
