WOW! September is here. And I believe we are all hoping for a little cooler weather. It has been a hot one!!
Just a note of reminder about air quality. We do have a few small fires burning in the vicinity, so we are on the watch for the air quality. If the air quality reaches levels that are considered "unsafe for sensitive groups", we keep the preschool inside. If you have any questions, please ask me at any time!
Here is what we are up to this week. Our themes are changing with the month, and we are going to have fun!
Theme: Safety
Science: Nutrition, Teeth
Social Studies: Community Helpers
Literacy: Letter Mm
Math: Grouping and Patterns
Music: Brush your teeth,

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. The best way to reach me is email, and if you want to get together to meet, we can set something up that way. We are having a wonderful time in preschool so far, and want to thank you for trusting us with your precious children!

Welcome!
Welcome to our preschool classroom and blog! We are so excited to get to know our new students and families and to continue to work with our current students and families. We have a very fun year planned for our classroom, and we are very ready to get started.
Each week, this blog will be updated with information for the next week. A newsletter will also be sent home. This will have all the information you need for the upcoming week. If you subscribe to this blog and the main preschool blog, you will be kept up to date on the happenings in our classroom.
When you first come in each day, you will help your child get settled. We like to work to get each student as independent as possible in these routines, but we know in the beginning you will be helping. When you come in, their lunchbox will go in the lunch basket, and their water bottle in the water bottle basket. They will then wash their hands and trace their name. There will be a sign in sheet for you to sign your child in and out of class each day as well.
The first few days can typically be difficult as we all make a new transition. The teachers will be there to help you in any way. Good byes can be tough the first few days. It might be easiest to start a routine that you and your child can do each morning to say good bye for now. We will call you if your child needs you throughout the day.
Your child's teacher will be Mrs. S (Schlagenhauf). The teacher's assistant is Miss T (Thompson). Other teachers that will be in the room include Mrs. Ferrara, Mrs Sykes, and Miss Rees.
Welcome to a fun year at preschool! We can't wait to get started!!!
