September Newsletter

Welcome to School!

It is finally time to start preschool this year!  Hopefully all of the kids are excited and ready to learn and play.  You will notice throughout the year that our study of the alphabet doesn't go in order.  We start out with letters that are easy to recognize and also letters that can be blended to make words.  After learning just two letters we will already be able to start making words.  This helps the kids understand why we need to know the sounds and it introduces them to reading right away.  Along with the alphabet, we will also work on math skills, review colors and shapes, work on science and art projects, and learn about music.  We will also go over rhyming and opposites.  I have included an outline of the units and academic skills we will go over this year in a post below in case you are interested.  It does not include everything, but it at least gives you an idea.   I also posted the Disclosure document below.  Please look over it and let me know if you have any questions.  If you have a g-mail account you can post a comment, or call me anytime at 768-1091.

Health Reminder...

At school, we use hand sanitizer several time a day and wipe down the classroom and toys often.  We will also be having a lesson about germs and keeping ourselves clean.  Please be mindful of sending your child to school with sicknesses that may be contagious.  Hopefully these things will keep the illness at preschool down.  Thanks!
