St. Patrick's Day

This week in Pre-K we will be learning about St. Patrick's Day and those quick and quiet leprechauns.  I wonder if the sneaky little leprechaun will visit our room this week?!?!?  Our letter this week is "Qq."  We will be teaching the kids that Qq is often paired with its friend, Uu.  Please continue to practice letter names and letter sounds at home with your child.  I really appreciate the families that take the time to complete the homework.  Although it is not required in Pre-K, it gets your child into the "homework routine" as well as gives them extra practice on skills while they are out of the classroom.  Thank you for being an excellent partner in your child's education!

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, we will be having our PBIS Beach Day.  If you have not returned your slip, please contact me as soon as possible.  Your child may also dress up in beach wear including: shorts, skirts, sandals, Hawaiian shirts, etc.  Please remember that we go outside each day for recess, so warm clothes will be needed as well.  Please do not send your child to school in a swimming suit.
