It's so hard to believe we are already in our final week of January. We have a busy week coming up with the celebration of the Chinese New Year and our monthly Show N Tell. This week our Nestlings class will bring a blue show n tell item on Tuesday while our Wise Owls class will bring their blue item on Friday. Music class has been canceled for this week and will return in February. Our theme for the week will be Polar Animals. We will review our letters of the month R, D, and G, as well as our number 5, triangle shape, and color blue.
Just a reminder that our class starts at 9:45 each day. The children are allowed to arrive as early as 9:30 if needed but any earlier than that and I'm often busy with other tasks. If you need to drop off any earlier than 9:30 please be sure to discuss it with me in advance.
Have a great week! ~Miss Robin
What a wonderful week we had at preschool. The weather was perfect for us to focus on our week about nutrition. We had so much fun playing outside with weather in the mid to high 70's. This is definitely the time of year that we are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful state.
Friday I attended a workshop with Handwriting Without Tears. I only wish I could've attended sooner! I feel so fortunate to have found this program and I can't wait to start incorporating it into our classroom. We will incorporate many of the HWT concepts in both classes but the program really is geared more towards the 4 year olds. In the fall my entire curriculum for the 4 year olds will be based around this program. It is fantastic!
As you know school will be closed on Monday in honor of MLK Day. When the Nestlings return on Tuesday we will celebrate our 100th day of school, then on Thursday the Wise Owls class will enjoy their monthly playdate at the park.
Have a wonderful weekend and again I will end with Go Cardinals!

Wow! What a busy week we had here at preschool. I'll upload some new pictures to the site within the next few days so you can see some of the fun we are having in the new year. It was great getting back in a routine and having all of the kids back.
Notes:
1.) This Friday, January the 16th I will be leaving early to attend the Handwriting Without Tears ~ Get Set For School workshop. Brenna will be on duty keeping a close eye on the children.
2.) Our monthly playdate at the park for the Nestlings class will be on Monday. Be sure to dress your child appropriately for the weather so they can join in on the fun.
3.) Our two new students start this week so let's give them a warm welcome.
4.) Parents please make sure your children are using the sidewalk and driveway and aren't walking through the landscaping. We are now using a professional landscaping company to keep things pretty for us and they are treating some of the areas with pet repellant. Nothing that will harm the children or any animal, just a deterrent to keep their waste out of our yard to keep our environment healthy. Thank you for your cooperation.
Next Week: We will work on our unit about nutrition, continue with our color (blue) and shape (triangle) of the month, and introduce the number 5. Our letter for the week will be Dd.
Have a wonderful weekend and Go Cardinals! :) ~Miss Robin
We have a lot of wonderful things planned for the second half of the school year and I can't wait to jump back in and get started. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday break and that 2009 is starting off in a great way for you.
We will be talking about the New Year this week when the kids return and celebrating the arrival of 2009. We will introduce the triangle shape, the letter Rr, the number 5, the color blue, and will learn a new Spanish and American Sign Lanuage word. We will be going full speed ahead and having tons of fun!
New children enrolled: Over the holiday break we had 2 new children enroll in our preschool. We welcome Wyatt who will join our Nestlings class on Tuesday's and Quin who will attend all 3 days of our Wise Owls class. We are excited you decided to join us and we look forward to getting to know our new friends.
Within the next two weeks you will be greeted with a new welcome center when you arrive for preschool. Miss Robin's husband is busy building new floor lockers to house backpacks, jackets, shoes, and school projects for each child. This is also where our parents sign in sheet and book buck library will be located.
That's about all of the news I have for this week. I look forward to seeing everyone's smiling face when you return.
Warm Regards,
Miss Robin
