Many crafts that the children work on will be sent home upon completion, however, please understand that some crafts will be held for a time and displayed in our Early Childhood hallway. They LOVE seeing their work hung up :)
If your child is staying through, please don't forget a lunch and an additonal beverage. Your child will also need a small towel or yoga mat for rest time in between sessions.
Please label anything that you send into school; you can't believe how many "twinners" there are in children's lunch boxes, backpacks, folders, etc... No need for tears :)
Enjoy the up-coming week! May God continue to bless all of you!
Warmly,
Pat Batus
PS: Pre-K is a place for socialization and the introduction to basic academics. This being said, there is a writing component to our work, as well. If you would help your child learn the letters in his/her name, that would be wonderful! In addition, please help your child to begin to print their names. Thank you in advance.
PPS: Please begin to allow your child to take care of their own needs at home so that this will transition into the classroom. Understanding that they are only four, they are truly capable of mastering new tasks - for example: packing and unpacking their own backpacks, which includes placing their folders in the appropriate baskets, hanging up their own jackets/coats, etc. Thank you in advance!
