What we learned…..
February was so good to us! It was a lovely month, we started off by having a petting zoo which the children enjoyed. The week after was Valentines Day which was a success. Presidents Day was nice and we focused on the colors red, white and blue. We finished the month by having our Community Helper a mom from the Kiwi class (big shout out to her!) She showed the children her doctor tools and the whole week we focused on the tools we need to care for our bodies.
PS: Thank you to all the parents for supporting the children by bringing in V-Day grams and a special thanks to the parents who came and helped on Valentines Day, we really appreciated it!
What we will be learning……
Now that it’s March we have more great activities. Please look at our weekly schedule for this month. We’ll also be sending friendly reminders as needed on brightwheel.
The first week of March is Read Across America Week for Dr. Seuss’s birthday. We’ll have a dress up day according to the theme of a book.
Monday: The Cat in the Hat- Wear a Hat
Tuesday: The Lorax- Wear a Mustache
Wednesday: Wacky Wednesday- Wear a wacky outfit &/or wacky hair Thursday: Fox in Socks- Wear your crazy socks
Friday: Green Eggs and Ham- Wear you favorite color
The second week of March we’ll focus on St. Patricks activities since it will fall on Tuesday, March 17th. That day we’ll have a Coin Hunt. There will be golden coins hidden all over and the children will be able to go and look for them. PS: Don’t forget to wear green!
The third week of march will be our Dino week. We’ll have some fossil digging and some dinosaur tracks activities.
The fourth week of March we’ll focus on Spring. We’ll have activities with nature objects such as flowers, bugs, pinecones and sticks.
As in every preschool classroom, these plans may evolve to better suit the interests of the children. We will be updating parents with pictures, videos, and write ups of what the children are learning and doing during the day. These will be posted to our Brightwheel app.

Upcoming Birthday’s
If your child has an upcoming birthday and you would like to celebrate with a treat, we ask that you let us know in advance.
Please keep in mind that we celebrate around 11:15 am (during lunchtime). Friendly reminder that we are a nut-free school and we avoid frosting. Candles are welcome.
Reminders
We kindly ask that you are aware of any items your child may need added to or removed from their cubby. A few examples are extra sets of weather appropriate clothing, extra snacks, and most importantly, DIAPERS. We send courtesy messages through Brightwheel when they are running low, but sometimes they just disappear so fast!
If you plan on parking in the lot, we ask that you to please limit your stay to 10 minutes. Lingering in the lot makes it difficult for other parents trying to pick up/drop off their child on time.
I know saying goodbye can be hard, but you can do it and so can your child! Remember to keep a consistent routine throughout the year, prepare your child for your departure, validate their feelings, and remind them that you will be back.
We are a NUT-FREE school. We have a number of students in the school allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, in order to keep them safe we ask that you please do not send your child to school with any products containing nuts. If you would like a list of nut-free food suggestions let me know and I will get you a list!
And lastly, a personal request from us, please try to label all of your child’s items! Many families buy the same things and sometimes other students or teachers may move your child’s items mistakenly; labeling your things will greatly help avoid any mishaps!
