Week of August 27th to 29th--Green & Blue Days, Color Review, E & F Week, Eggs, Frogs, and Grandparents

This month your child will explore the world of learning and will develop many new basic skills.  Encourage your child to practice and develop these new skills.  During the coming weeks, we will study about colors, letters, and grandparents.  Our calendar shows when we study each color and letter.  We will introduce a new color every day and two new letters each week.

We would ask you to send a snack for the class each month on the first school day of the month.  There are currently 18 people in the class.  Example:  If you send a package of cookies make sure that there will be two cookies for each child.  Please send the same snack for everyone.

For the year each child needs to bring the following:  1 package of napkins (200 count), 1 box of 5-ounce Dixie cups (200 count), and 1 box of tissues (200 count).  Please do not send larger-sized cups.

If your child is sick or will not be attending, please call before class begins at 8:30.  If your child misses one day in a week, it’s still to be paid for.  If your child misses 2 days in a week, he will get credit for the send day the next week.

Please put your child’s name on their coat, sweater, or any other items brought from home.  Please double knot your child’s shoes.

We will come out and get the children for class.  Please do not come inside the gate.  We will also bring the children back out to the gate after class.

Show and Tell will begin in October.

Preschool class pictures will be Thursday, September 5th, during school time.  Steve Sheldon will be coming down from Bloomington to take the pictures.  There will be both individual and class pictures taken.  Proofs will be sent home later and pictures can be ordered then.  Money is not needed when the pictures are taken.
