January Newsletter
Dear Parents,
Happy New Year
to all of our families! We hope you all had a restful and relaxing break and
lots of time with your family.
We are looking
forward to our first month of the 2019 school year with our batteries fully
recharged. Our children were all so excited to see their friends again! Now
it’s time to settle back into our routine and explore new things.
JANUARY THEME
DINOSAURS
The year will start with a fun unit about
dinosaurs. There will be a lot of roaring and exploring going on in our
classroom. The children will learn about how dinosaurs lived and how they
became extinct. Our sensory sand box has already turned into an excavation
ground where our little scientists will enjoy digging for bones and skeleton
parts. The gym will turn into dinosaur land where balls change into dino eggs
or a pretend meteorite. You might hear the rumbling sound of a volcano
(parachute) that spits out hot lava balls in the gym.
In context with our dinosaur unit the children
will be sorting, counting and categorizing dinosaurs, measuring bones and
identifying dinosaur footprints. Our children love to use their imagination at
snack time and like to eat their claws (etc. apple slices, beans) and bones (etc. carrots and bananas).
If you haven’t visited the Museum for Natural
Sciences on U of S Campus yet, it is a great place to take your family and see
the giant skeletons of a T-rex and other dinosaurs.
INDOOR
SHOES CHECK
We realized a BIG GROWTH
SPURT in some of our children and wonder if their little feet still fit in
their indoor shoes! Please check your child’s indoor shoes to make sure that
their little “happy feet” are not “trapped”.
FLUE
PREVENTION
As you all know and heard
through media releases there had been a number of cases of influenza preschool children in Saskatchewan. We
encourage all parents to be cautious and
keep children at home when they are sick and show flue symptoms. The best way to prevent germs from
spreading in our classroom is covering coughs and sneezes (and in some cases
keeping fingers out of mouths and noses J).
PRE-REGISTRATION
FOR THE 2019-20 PRESCHOOL YEAR
Parents of students
that are currently enrolled in the 3year old class can pre-register their
child, prior to the Open House, when registration will be open to the public.
All currently
enrolled students will get a spot guaranteed. However final class placement will
have to be based on different factors. Our registrar will contact you once we
have sorted through all the 2019-20 applications (after the Open House). The board
of directors will try their best to meet your placement requests but due to
reasons of fairness we need to spread out students evenly in our a.m. and p.m.
classes.
Ø Families who are
pre- registering do NOT have to attend the Open House in order to get a spot.
Ø Pre-registration is
now open until January 17th.
Ø Please tell your
friends that have preschool children about the Registration Night
