JANUARY NEWSLETTER 2020
Dear Parents,
We wish all of our
families a very Happy New Year! We hope that you had a restful and relaxing
break and spent lots of time with your family.
We are looking forward to
our first month of the 2020 school year with our batteries fully recharged. Our
children must be excited to see their friends again! Now it’s time to settle
back into our routine and explore new things.
JANUARY THEME
OCEAN FUN
Our team has
decided to break up the long winter! We will have a unit on “Life under Water”
and we will spend most of January with activities related to our OCEAN THEME. You will see a lot of sea creatures hanging
in the hallway. The highlight will be a “Hawaii Beach Party” at the end of
January. Coming to school in flip flops, sun glasses, shorts and summer dresses
is one way to make winter fun!!
We will also explore questions such as:
·
How do fish sleep?
·
What happens when a star fish loses a leg?
·
Why does an octopus squirt ink?
·
Why do some fish have whiskers?
·
Why do shells have holes?
·
etc.
If you have a fish in a small tank at home, we
would be happy to borrow it for a few days and invite your fish to join our
class!
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
We encourage all parents
to be cautious and keep children at home when they are sick and show flue/cold
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 2020-21 PRESCHOOL YEAR
Parents
of students that are currently enrolled can pre-register their child prior to
the Open House when registration will open to the public.
All students currently enrolled
will have a spot guaranteed. However, final class placement will be based on a
combination of factors. Our registrar will contact you once we have sorted
through the 2020/21 applications after the Open House. Families who are
pre-registering do NOT have to attend the Open House in order to get a spot.
· Pre-registration is now open until January 17th.
·
Please spread the word about the Registration Night (open
to public) on January 22 @ 7p.m.! You can also find us (and like us J) on Facebook!
