Building Blocks Preschool

Welcome everyone to a New year of Preschool at Building Blocks Preschool. For those of you that weren't able to come to the open house here are a few things that I shared:

This year each child will be building a 26 cart Alphabet Train.  As we learn each letter your child will bring home a piece (cart) with the letter we learned on it.  You can have it as a border in their bedroom or just put it in a folder.  With it out in the open for them to see it will help them identify their letters and start to understand the phonics (sounds) of each letter.

The first day of school will be September 8th for those of you coming on Tuesday/Thursday classes and the first day of school for the Monday-Wednesday classes will be September 9th.

Please have your child bring a backpack

Check on your September calendar if you are to bring treats on the day you have been assigned.
If there is ever a time your child will not be there, please call another parent and see if you can trade with them.  I will put that information (names of children in the class/phone#) in your childs'  manilla envelope with their October calendar at the end of September for your convenience.

Payment is due the first day of the each month when school is scheduled.  So for October your payment will be the first day your child comes back from spud harvest (Oct 12 & 13).  If you want to pay ahead you may do whatever is convenient.  I keep 3 different records to make sure it is accounted for.

I will write every Friday after the week is over to let you know what we have learned and how I feel the individual class in general is doing.

For those of you with children 4-5 you will get each month in your manilla envelopes several sight word cards.  PLEASE put them on your fridge and every day as your child walks by the fridge have them memorize the word.  This is a new learning adventure in memorizing but they do a great job with the first sight words being: I, a, see, can.  I have made up books for them to start reading and they will be bringing them home.  Please save them so they can practice reading during the summer months to keep them progressing.

September 8th & 9th can't come fast enough for me.  I am looking forward to having a wonderful year with each child and want to you know, if you ever have any questions or concerns please give me a call at 403-2715.  I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Have a great Labor Day Weekend and we will see you all very very soon!!! YEH
