Welcome Back!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break! We really missed the kids and are excited to start our fun winter units.
Everyday at school we do hands-on math activities including patterns, counting, graphing, number recognition, simple addition, and subtraction. At this point in the year, we start a more concentrated number curriculum. The younger kids will work on individual numbers to make sure they have counting and recognition down. The older kids will work on that as well as writing the numbers, then move on to sequencing etc. If you ever have any questions about what we are working on in school, please call anytime. Also, by way of information, there is one holiday this month but none of our school days are affected by it.
About This Month...
Week 1: Winter/Penguins/Months of the Year/The Jacket I wear in the Snow
Week 2: Letter Z-Zipper centers/Snow/Snowmen/Mittens
Week 3: Letter F-Fire Safety
Week 4: Letter H-Hats/Groundhog Day
Fire Station Field Trip
We will be visiting the Lehi Fire Station on Thursday the 22nd as part of our Fire Safety unit. The morning class will leave around 9:50 and the Afternoon class will leave around 1:20. If you would like to come with us and help drive, let me know. Also, if the weather continues to be yucky, I will probably just have my cousin who is a fireman come into our class. I don't want to risk driving in this scary snow. We will just see how that goes. If we do go on the fieldtrip, class will start and end at the regular times.
Work-of-Art Calendars
We sent home a calendar today that we will be working on for the rest of the year. Each month we will do a new picture for you to slide in the plastic pocket. We will try to write on the back of the picture that it is for the calendar so you will know. Watch for these pictures at the beginning of each month.
Homework
During February we will be starting our reading homework. This is an optional program for the Pre-K students. First I will send home letters to practice, then short vowel word wheels, then beginning books. The kids will pass off the item they have been working on and I will send them the next thing on the list. Watch for a note next month about this program.
Thank you for all your help with the Christmas program. The kids were darling and did a great job on their parts.
Just a reminder that tuition is due by Thursday the 8th

Amber,
Depending on this baby, I would like to just meet you at the fire station-no driving for me. Please keep me posted whether you're going to the fire station or if the fireman will be visiting the class.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job with everything. Gracee just loves preschool and can't stop singing the songs from the Christmas program, she even sang a solo at our family Christmas party. Thanks again and if you need drivers on the 22nd I should be available.
