Parents Corner
There is A LOT going on in the month of February as you can see in the Important Dates section!
The children love to celebrate Valentines Day. We take time to talk about our love for each other and for God. For our classroom Valentines exchange, please DO NOT write the name of classmates on each Valentine card/envelope. Only fill in your child's name. It is an excellent time to have your children practice their name, but remember it is a small space and only do a few at a time! Please do not send in ANY food items due to allergies. Pencils, stickers, tattoos, etc are fine but not necessary. Here are the numbers for each class:
M/W/F am 22
M/W/F pm 18
Tues./Thurs. am 16
The Police visit, as well as the field trip, are tentatively scheduled. If we can not make those days work we will figure something out!
SLP Open House will be on Thursday 3/1 from 5:00-7:00. This Open House is designed for new parents to see our facilities and get to know the teachers. If you know anyone interested in sending their child to preschool next year, we would really appreciate spreading the word. If you are currently enrolled in our program you do not need to attend in order to register. We will be distributing registration forms or possibly have it available online soon. I would encourage you to return/complete the forms as soon as possible to secure your spot.
God in Our Lives
With Catholic Schools week kicking off at the start of the month, it is a great way to get re-energized about our faith! We continue to foster true acts of kindness and love. By participating in the food drive we put our words into action.
Zoophonics Alphabet News
PeeWee p Penguin
Many of the children wait all year for letter Pp week. We will all (yes even the teachers) be wearing our pajamas to school and eating pancakes for snack. It really is a super fun day with the kids. If your kiddo does not want to wear pajamas to school, don't feel like you have to press the issue. it is just for fun! We will also take time to talk about prayers, both formal and informal.
Queenie q. Quail
Queenie (Qq) and Umber (Uu) are best friends. Through a fun story and song, we will learn about how the letter Qq will never appear without the letter Uu right by it. The PreK class will learn about Mary as our Queen and make a craft that will be a keep sake for parents!
