Safe Hands!

Since being at school, we have been learning about how to make friends and how to play nicely with our classmates. On Friday, we read the story, Hands are Not for Hitting, and discussed ways in which we can use our hands for good. Students had some very clever answers! Check out their answers below on the poster we made. Also, to celebrate having safe hands, we made “safe hands” cookies. Students were able to cut out their own cookie and then we enjoyed a group snack! J Enjoy!

First Day in Pre-K!

Can you believe it?! The first day of preschool is already completed! We learned about our dramatic play area, our block area, how to get snack, what a line is, how to sit on the rug during group time, and so much more! Have your preschooler rest up though for another fun-filled day tomorrow! J Below are some pictures of the children playing on their first day:

It's Almost School Time!

It’s almost that exciting time: the start of the school year! I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to seeing the familiar preschool faces of students from last year, as well become better acquainted with my new students!

I hope everyone had a fun, eventful, and safe summer! I’m anxious for you and my students to share summer stories with Mrs. Brooks and I during home visits! My summer has consisted of landscaping our house, wedding planning, and my favorite: spending time with my son (who is nine months)!

If you have not already done so, please contact me to schedule a home visit. A home visit is essential, because it is when we give you important preschool information, and it also provides a chance for first year preschoolers to become acquainted with Mrs. Brooks and myself.

Here is the upcoming preschool schedule for the first week:

Friday, August 14: Home visits

Monday, August 17: Home visits

Tuesday, August 18: Open House—AM class: 9-10; PM class: 12-1

                            Mandatory Parent Meeting—6-7

Wednesday, August 19^th—busing begins and full AM and PM classes

Thursday and Friday—regular school days

I look forward to a wonderful school year! J

May Mayhem!

We’ve been enjoying May Mayhem this month! Thank you to all the parents who helped their child dress and get excited for our fun days! Since today was the preschoolers’ last day, I thought I’d share some photos from this last week of school. In these pictures you’ll see our ice cream day at PJs, our walk to the Erie Public Library for story time, and beach day where boys got to wear their swim trunks and girls got to wear their swimsuits on the outside of their clothes. It has been an incredible year, and I could not have asked for a more loving, sweet, and fun group of preschoolers! Have a great summer!
