Seeds and Flowers

Hello Pre-K Families,

I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful weather we had this past weekend.  I spent a lot of time outdoors and celebrated my husband's birthday, which was Friday.  

This week in Pre-K our theme is "seeds and flowers."  We will be planting some flower seeds and setting them on our window sill to grow.  We have many fun activities planned including: finger painting flowers, making a pussy willow plant out of puffed rice, and journaling about their favorite things to do in the spring.  Our letter this week is "Uu."  Please work on identifying the letter "Uu" as well as the letter sound, with your child.

REMINDER:

**If your child's end of the day routine is going to be different, such as taking a different bus, not riding the bus, someone different is picking up, etc., please send a note to me.  If there is no note, I will send your child home the way she/he normally goes home.  Sending a note will insure that I have your permission to send your child with someone else or home a different way.  It also helps remind me of the change, as sometimes the days get too busy and it slips my mind.  If the change of plans occurs during the school day, please call the office and leave a message so that I have written documentation of the change.  Thank you in advance!

**Also, please remember to send a note with your child if she/he misses school for any reason.  This helps the office keep the correct attendance records and excuses your child for the day that was missed.
