Dear Parents,
Having talked about ocean and
having scared winter away with our “Fasching” songs has worked! The
temperatures have started to climb up and we are finally able to play outside
again!
FEBRUARY
THEME: 5 SENSES
This
month we will be exploring the 5 senses. Children naturally perceive the world
around them by using their five senses. This month we will provide our students
with a variety of activities that allows them to explore and learn about the
different senses that help us to better understand the world around us.
Here are
the five senses that of our umbrella unit:
-Feel
-See
-Hear
-Smell
-Taste
It will
be a fun unit, and we look forward to exploring one sense at a time with our
little ones.
Outdoor Fun with Care Partners: February 14th (M-W-F
class)
We are planning another fun
filled morning with our care partners on Friday, February 14th. We will take
the children outside to the small hill for some winter fun. Our little ones
will have a chance to toboggan with their care partners, explore in the snow,
and afterwards enjoy a warm cup of hot chocolate. We will make a friendship
card to give to our care partners on this day. Sleds will be provided by our
care partners.
Valentine
Cards:
Any families wishing to bring
Valentine Cards to preschool are welcome to bring them to school. In case you
are planning to do so, we kindly ask you to please ensure your child has a card
for ALL students of our class. If you are in need of an updated class list
please let us know, we are happy to provide one for you. (Tuesday/Thursday
class is invited to wear pink or red on Thursday Feb. 13th)
FRIENDLY
REMINDERS
- Dress
for the weather
As our
lovely Saskatchewan weather continues to warm up off and on, we would like to
be outside each day. Please ensure your child has all the cozy, warm and water
proof clothing items and foot wear they may need for these days.
This may
affect our daily routine for Sharing times. On your child’s scheduled day, please let us know if
your able to stay a few extra minutes in the morning, and we will start the day
with your child’s
sharing! If you're not able to
stay at 9 a.m. but would like to watch
later, we will come back inside and have sharing at our usual 11:35 time. Just
let us know, prior to your child’s show and tell date.
