A Peek into
the JLC Class
School Routine
Our class has officially been busy exploring and interacting in our 4th unit of the year: Hospital/Medical/Health! The children have been busy creating props, displays, and lists for each of the 6 "hospital" themed centers in our class.
We will soon be transitioning from "hospital" to our "Pet Vet" theme!
Arrival Time/Attendance
Consistency and routine are key in your child's development. Thank you for your continued support in striving for perfect attendance and having your child arrive to school by 8:50 (or 8:40 if they eat breakfast with us). We know how difficult it can be to get back in routine after a long winter break. Keeping a consistent early bed time routine can help make mornings a little easier! Please let Miss Sammy, Miss Lisa, or Miss Sarafina know if you need support with bedtime routines/scheduling.
Please note, that our class goes outside promptly at 9 am (weather permitting). The children participate in Mystery Games at 8:50, so it is important that you have your child arrive to school on time by 8:50. A jacket is required daily, and gloves/mittens, hats, & scarves are strongly encouraged. Additionally, please dress your child in layers so that they are comfortable when playing outdoors during our 9 am gross motor time. Once we arrive back inside, we can support the children in removing their outer layers so they are comfortable inside. Leaving a sweater/sweatshirt in your child's cubby is also suggested over the next few winter months.

Germs, germs, germs!
We conducted a special experiment to observe the "germs" on our hands and how easily it is to spread germs. We then practiced washing our hands (tops, bottoms, in between, and our nails!) and observed under a blacklight if we rid ourselves of ALL the "germs".
