Hello Dynamic Preschool Parents!
Thank you Jesus for cooler weather!!! What a difference 20 degrees can make, eh? I hope everyone had a VERY restful weekend! I am sure your little ones were tired...I know I was! I think last week went very very well. Your children are so amazing. Each day, we are able to add a little bit more and more to our schedule. My main goal for last week and this week is to establish a consistant pattern to our schedule. We continue to add a little bit more each day to our circle time and large group time.
This week each and every class will work on writing their names. I know that many of the students know how to write their names however I see three consistant things that we need to work on. The first is to teach the children NOT to use capital letters in the middle of their names. In our preschool, we teach that the ONLY letter that should be uppercase is the first letter in the name. The second is to get the children in the habit of starting from the top down in writing their names and the third is to review in identifying their own names.
Next week I hope to assess the children using the same criteria the statewide early childhood standards. This will give me a more concrete idea of what we can skip, what we can review, and what each individual child needs reinforcement on.
PICK-UP Reminder!
For all classes, our new pick up is working pretty well. Thank you:) Please remember NOT to park or turn off your car and get out to wait for your child. Please stay in your car so you can pull up to our building & pick up your child. When you pull up and your child's seat is on the driver's side, I will deliver your child to that side of the car for you to buckle in otherwise I will help them buckle in. It seems the more parents park and are not able to continue the flow of traffic, the longer the pick up process seems to take. I am confident that this will continue to work itself out and pick up will continue to get smoother. Thank you so much for your help and patience with this process;) You are so wonderful!WELCOME!!!!
Our preschool would like to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Gebhart and Mackenzie as they welcome a new set of twins into their family! What a beautiful blessing. Congratulations to your beautiful family!Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
I want to take this moment to thank all you moms and dads in a few things: 1st: Thank you for getting paperwork into me so very promply. I SOOOO appreciate your cooperation with this.2nd: Thank you for all the families that donated Clorox wipes as well as things from our Giving Garden. We are truly touched by your generosity.
The children and I have talked daily about sneezing and coughing into our sleeves .vs. our hands. We also have encouraged the children to keep their hands off their noses and mouths. (I do insist that children keep their fingers out their mouths. We strive very hard to keep each and every precious little one healthy so they can be in school as much as possible!)
Have wonderful week and please pray for this continued cool and beautiful weather!
Respectfully yours,
Mrs. Burd and Mrs. Martin
