Apples, Apples, Apples!!!

Thank you to all the parents who sent in apples this week. Our activities this week wouldn't have been the same without them. They were greatly appreciated!

For the next two weeks the theme will be farms. We will be learning all about what happens on a farm, farm animals, crops, and tools used on a farm. I am collecting a couple household items next week for different activities. If you would like to donate any of these items, it would be greatly appreciated! These are what we need: clean styrofoam meat trays and clean empty egg cartons. Thanks so much. :)

Week 3 Newsletter

Weekly Newsletter

We are coming to the close of another week in Preschool. It is great to see the students adjusting so well to their new surroundings and routines. Mrs. Bloom and I have already seen a lot of improvement in everyone's behavior and willingness to follow directions. We will keep working on this even more in the next couple of weeks.

Next week we will begin learning about apples. There will be many different apple activities for the students throughout the week. We are asking that each student brings in at least one apple (of any color) on these days:

• Seals - Tuesday
  
• Penguins - Monday
• Polar Bears - Wednesday

Thank you for all of your help! Enjoy you the weekend and we'll see you again next week! As always, please email me (jnoward@cdeducation.org) or call the Preschool office with any questions or concerns.

Here is this weeks newsletter: Preschool Week 2

Thursday, September 17th

A couple of parents have called asking about tomorrow morning. The Seals are still schedule to start at 8:30 am even though the school has a scheduled late start. The Preschool hours will always remain the same, even if the school schedule is different.

I hope this clears up some of the confusion. We'll see all the Seals tomorrow morning!

First Week of School

We had a wonderful first week of Preschool and PreK. Thank you to all of the parents for helping your children adjust so well to school. Mrs. Bloom and I really enjoyed being with everyone and look forward to starting the regular schedule next week. I appreciate you working with the schedule this week. It made the adjustment easier by having a smaller amount of students on the first day.

Over the weekend I will be checking all the students' paperwork and figuring out what is missing. I will send home any missing forms next week so that all student files can completed.

There will be volunteer forms available next week for anyone who is interested in volunteering in the classroom or at home. Please remember that you must be fingerprinted and take "Protecting God's Children" before volunteering at St. Francis de Sales.

Just a few reminders:
* Morning drop off begins at 8:20 and afternoon drop off begins at 12:20. If the door is shut when you get to our classroom please wait patiently in the hallway until one of us opens the door. Thank you :)
* Please only send one snack and drink with your child. Multiple snacks take longer to eat and time is then taken away from other planned activities.
