Dental Health and Nutrition

Hello Pre-K Families,

We will begin this week with our Valentine's Day parties.  This includes playing shape dash, a fly swatter (shapes/colors) game, exchanging valentines, watching a Charlie Brown movie and, of course, having a few Valentine's Day goodies!  During the rest of this week we will focus on dental health and nutrition.  We will be talking about how and why to brush our teeth, healthy vs. unhealthy foods, and the different kinds of foods (fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, etc.)  Our letter this week is Xx.  Please know that we will be focusing on words that END in "Xx."


Thank you very much to those of you who participated in the February family project.  I talked to the activities director at Memorial Nursing and Rehab and have arranged for them to deliver our valentines to residents of the nursing home on Tuesday, February 14th during their Valentine's Day celebration.  I'm hoping that there were be some pictures of it in The Star News so keep an eye out!  It was great to see all of your creativity!  The residents will LOVE the surprise!  

I also appreciate the time you take to help your child do his/her homework.  With Pre-K being only two days a week, that extra practice at home helps your child tremendously.   Please remember to have your child write his/her name on their homework.  


Just a few reminders:
~ If you haven't done so, please review your child's report card and then sign and return the envelope to school.  


~ There will be NO SCHOOL for all of the students this coming Friday, February 17th.


~Our next FBI will be Friday, February 24th from 1:30-2:30 in the MAES cafeteria.  Please return your child's permission slip if you'll be attending.  To insure you have enough time to complete the activities, please come between 1:30-2:00.


~Book orders are due February 22nd or 23rd.


~There will be another set of Parent/Teacher Conferences on the evening of March 1st.  If I would like to set up a meeting with you, I will be contacting you within the next few weeks.  If I haven't requested a meeting but you'd like to have a conference with me, please let me know!


Have a great week,
Ms. Brittany
