February 2010

Pre-K Class Newsletter

Units

Our major themes this month will center on the human body (with emphasis on the heart), Valentine's Day, and Open House projects.

Readiness

Readiness this month will include the letters Bb, Nn, Kk, and Vv, opposites, counting, and more printing.  The shape is the heart.

  Valentine's Parties

Our Valentine's Party will be held on February 11th from 9:30-11:30 AM.  The children will be exchanging cards.  On the day of the party, please send in 12 cards with your child. The cards should be unaddressed so the children can distribute them without worrying about names.  If they would like to sign their names on each one.  It's excellent practice!

Open House

Open House this year is March 7, 2010.  During January and February, we will be saving most of the children's art projects at school to display on that day.  We will explain this to the children, but you might mention it to them as well.  They will be able to take everything home after Open House.

Art Center

Our Art Center will be geared toward Valentine's Day, so consider FDC before you throw out that lace and eyelet trim, those Valentine stickers, and colored foil or doilies!!!

Post Office Center/Writing Center

We need post office supplies for our Post Office dramatic play center.  Please consider donating ink pads, stamps, play money, postal scale, recycled greeting cards, stickers (not tiny ones), notes, index cards, tablets, envelopes, unwanted stationery, etc.
