Hello Dynamic Families!~
What a week of developments! Here they are:
Field Trip: Science Day at The Works:
DECEMBER 7th for PENGUINS and POLAR BEARS
DECEMBER 8th for SEALS
What a super opportunity we have presented to us! The Works (in downtown Newark) is conducting a "Tykes Tour" that targets certain science concepts to Pre-K's. I have signed our preschool classes up for this great opportunity to delve deeper into the wonderful world of science. This "tour" will target simple machines and how they make life easier. The fee for this trip is $5. This will include the class and time for the students to explore science opportunities at The Works for the rest of their classtime. I will be sending a hardcopy permission slip and more detail home the start of next week.
BOOK FAIR:
Going home this week is a flyer for our school book fair taking place in the library on the main floor of the elementary building (the building across the parking lot from the Early Childhood building) The flyer consist of all the books the fair offers. We will go over as a class one time next week for them to "look" (not buy at that time)If you chose, you and your child can go over to the fair before or after their class to purchase any desired books.
PASTA Fundraiser:
Our preschool does 1 fundraiser a year so that we can purchase bigger items for our preschool playground. Last year, the preschool used the FunPasta Fundraising Program. It did very well and so we will try it again this year. Fun Pasta is from The Pasta Shoppe in Nashville, Tennessee. They offer specialty pastas like collegiate shape pasta, pasta salads mixes, pasta meals and soup mixes. Your child will have a order pamphlet send into his/her folder next week. We made 40% profit with this fundraiser.
A friendly reminder regarding our pick up and drop off policy:
1.) Please ensure that your child(ren) has an adult accompanying them into the building to ensure they get their things put away, they get their hands washed and more importantly, are safely to the classroom. If you have made arrangments with another parent to accompany them into the building, please give us a "heads up" that you have made these arrangements. You can send a note, call or email me. Your child's safety and security is our first concern. Please help us ensure this concern is met. Thanks so very much ;)
2.) We completely understand things happen that may delay pick-up of your child, however, if you know that you will be more than 5 minutes late, please call the classroom at:
345-4049 ext 236. Children get very anxious when his/her classmate are gone and they are still waiting in the classroom. If you call, we can reassure your child that someone is on their way to pick them up. This will help ease any fear or anxiety this wait time can create. Thanks so much helping us with this concern.
Parent-Teacher Conferences:
Just a reminder that Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for Thursday, November 10 and Wednesday, November 16th. The Nov. 10 slots are all full however there are one or two slots left on the 16th on Nov. If you still need to schedule one, please see Mrs. Burd directly to schedule.
Have a Blessed Week;)
Mrs. Burd and Mrs. Bloom
