FEBUARY Memos from Mrs. Sharp and Ms. Groves
NOTES TO PARENTS:
We are so excited about the events of our upcoming month! We will have
our first field trip and we will have a special Valentine Celebration and we
will have special community helper visitors! What fun learning can be in
preschool!
As you know, we had our first “snow day” back in January, and it seems
that our weather fluctuates daily. Accordingly, we ask that your child
wear clothing that is appropriate for the cold temperature. We make
every effort to have outdoor gross motor time daily, so coats are
necessary during the winter months. Also, it is advisable to send in a
change of clothes that includes long sleeve shirts and long pants in case
of an accident. As you send these in, we will return the warm weather
change of clothes that we have in the classroom.
In the event that the forecast again becomes such that school is delayed
or cancelled, closings will be reported on our website, through our
automated phone system, and on local television and radio networks.
Please be sure to provide current contact information if this has changed
for you recently so that you may be reached in case of emergency. We
appreciate you keeping us informed of any changes regarding our
students!
PROGRAM:
We will continue our work center rotations in our classrooms this
month, as well as our “letter of the week,” “sounds in motion,” and
show and tell activities. So far, we have learned letter “Aa,” “Ll,”
“Pp,” “Ss,” “Ff,” “Tt,” “Ww,” “Kk,” “Rr,” “Mm,” “Hh,” “Uu,” and “Bb.”
In the coming month, we will learn letter “Cc,” “Vv,” “Xx,” and “Oo.”
That’s 18 of our 26 letters of the alphabet! How very smart we are
becoming!
To reinforce the concepts we are learning in the classroom, we ask
that students complete daily homework activities which are sent
home in folders on Mondays. Additional tasks that may help young
learners is name practice. No special tools are needed for this
activity; any type of paper and writing utensil will do!
So that you have the opportunity to plan ahead, we our including
our upcoming February Units for you:
“Circus”
“Hearts/Love”
“Dental Health”
“Community Helpers”
Check our webpage for current events and photos of our special
activities!
Thank you for all you do for both your student and our classroom!
Even the small actions of checking folders, sending in forms or
supplies, or communicating regularly have a big impact on our
day! We count it an honor to partner with you for our students!
Please don’t hesitate to contact us should you have any questions,
concerns, or comments. You may reach us by email at
