Greetings!
This week will be our last week until winter break! We are finishing up our unit on gingerbread men. We will be reading The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School and doing a scavenger hunt to find him using clues to guide our way. On Thursday, we will be decorating gingerbread cookies. While we set up for decorating, the children will be watching the Snowy Day in the annex. If you signed up to help, we will see you at 10:30 (am) or 2:45(pm). Friday, we will be having a Parent/Child Activity from 9:15-10:30 in the cafeteria. Parents will be let in the building at 9:10. Please remember to help your child learn to independently put on their hat, coat, scarf, boots, snow pants at home. We want our students to be able to dress themselves as much as possible. If you can purchase mittens rather than gloves, we would much appreciate it. Mittens are much easier for kids to put on independently. We have been practicing putting on our winter gear in the following order: 1st snow pants (if you have on shoes you must take them off first), 2nd. Snow boots 3rd. Sweaters & Coats 4th. Hats & scarves 5th Mittens or Gloves. It would be really helpful if you practiced the same order at home as well. Once the weather warms up will resume going outdoors to play. We will go out and explore in the snow. Please be sure to dress your child in snow boots and snow pants. Waterproof gloves/mittens are also helpful. If you have any snow pants or boots that you would like to donate to our classroom (for children who do not have them) we would be very grateful. Thank you again for all your assistance with the new arrival and dismissal procedure. When there is inclement weather the Pre-K staff will open the doors 5 minutes early so that parents and children can sit at the back three tables of the cafeteria instead of waiting in the frigid weather. Thanks! Have a great break! Mandi Heiser [email protected]
