Happy Friday!! I hope that you all enjoy your weekends, and that you get to spend some time outdoors! It's so refreshing to be able to get outside each day and feel the kiss of sunlight!!
The children have been working really hard and I am soooo proud of all of them. Please praise your child daily for all that he/she accomplishes; most impressive!! As always, let's continue to practice kindness everyday in all that we do!
After the break I will be sending home your child's "part" for our End of the Year Celebration, along with a letter outlining all of the fun activities soon to come. It's a very bittersweet time of year, as the little ones get ready to embark on thier journeys and leave Pre-K to enter Kindergarten!! But, all is good, and they are sooo ready for the challenges and fun of next year's experience!!
THE TEACHERS CONTINUE TO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUIR QUIET LINING UP IN THE MORNING!! AND A BIG THANK YOU FROM ME, AS WELL! YOU ARE AWESOME!!
Here are our plans for next week:
Our theme next week, even though it is a short one, will be "Mysterious Movers," and our word of the week will be: "mysterious." We will be working on the letter Xx, both its formation and its sound.
Please keep reviewing the sounds of each letter with your child on a daily basis, to reinforce what we cover in class. It doesn't have to be a drill, just part of your conversation. When you ask them what they want for breakfast, for example, and they tell you eggs, ask them what letter do they hear at the beginning of the word "egg," etc..

Monday - The wind is a mysterious mover.
Tuesday - The ocean is a mysterious mover.

Please remember to send in your child's snack/lunch in labeled disposable bags/lunchboxes and provide them with a thermos with attached straw for ease of use; NO CHOCOLATE OR PEANUT PRODUCTS, PLEASE.
We will be going outside each day, weather permitting, so please be sure to administer sun screen on your child befor they come to school.
Lastly, please encourage your child to take care of all of their bathroom needs.
I wish you all a very Happy and Blessed Easter! May you enjoy peace in your families, in your communities and in your hearts!
May God continue to bless all of you, and, as always, should you need anything, please don't hesitate to call.
Warmly,
Pat Batus :)
