Dear Preschool Families,
Welcome back!! I hope that everyone enjoyed their summer! I am so excited to start the new school year!
Today, in preschool, we spent our day getting to know new friends and reconnecting with old ones. We will spend the next few days learning routines and classroom rules. A folder is being sent home with your child today. Please be sure to look through it every evening to discover finished work, projects and important notes or forms. This will help to keep you informed of what is happening in the school and in our classroom. Also, please remember to return the folder every day with your child, for we use them as a means of communication. The folders are checked every morning, by an adult, for notes from home and forms that were asked to be returned.
We have some exciting news to share! This year, preschoolers will participate in specials, such as gym, and we have a new computer center! The computer center will help us to introduce and reinforce preschool skills that we will be working on throughout the school year.
I want to send a gentle reminder home to send in an extra change of clothing for your child, labeled and in a zip lock bag. The children will also enjoy a snack period to help develop socialization skills amongst their peers. Please send in a healthy snack and drink, in a lunch bag or lunch box. This makes it easier for the children to carry their snack to the table, from their cubby. Please keep in mind that if the weather permits, we will be spending time on the playground. Appropriate shoes, such as sneakers, are recommended in order to avoid injuries. Often, after outdoor play, we walk to the water fountains for a drink. If you do not want your child drinking from the water fountain, please send in a labeled bottle of water and we will keep it in your child’s cubby.
On Friday, in lieu of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the school is having a Red, White and Blue day. If possible, we are asking that our students dress in these colors. I will be posting a Classroom Newsletter on my blog, every Friday, to communicate any other important events, dates, and to share what is happening in preschool. If for any reason you cannot access my blog and would like a paper copy sent home on Fridays, please let me know. We are off to a great start!
Thank you.
Mrs. Gilberti
