Yes, I know it's a holiday on Monday (Jan 21st) - but come on - we've gotta have preschool so YES there is preschool on Monday!  See ya there.... and thank you

Letter "Oo" was the letter of the week.  We learned a lot of words that start with the letter O.  See if your preschooler can tell you a word.  One of the words should be "octopus".  I held up large capital letters and had the children identify the letter, the sound and what word starts with that particular letter.  The classes did great!

This month we are learning the Months of  the Year.  The meaning of the word Opposites was introduced.  We had work sheets that helped them understand better the opposites (up-down; hard, soft; day,night; hot, cold etc. )  We made O necklaces and the kids loved it!  We read a story about a boy who wanted an Octopus for a pet because his little brother has allergies.  The children enjoyed the book.  We also made bubble gum (game) learned a new color (fushia) and went through our numbers (6), writing our names, and received a reading book with the new word "come".   The 4-5 classes are doing great!  Thank you Moms for your empowering your child. Their sight words are coming along.  I love to hear them read all together - it really strengthens each other as they read.

No preschool today.  Power outage no heat.  See you on Wednesday!

The New Year has begun and we are heading in the right direction!  The letter  "Nn" was our focus this week along with the "Months of the Year".  So far for our first week back most of the children can repeat the first four months of the year.  We will continue to work on the months of the year until all the children have learned them.  We talked about words that begin with the letter N and we also made our birdnests with "Nn" word pictures to help remind the children what the sound of N is. I told a story about Mr. Noisy!  Ask your child if he/she can tell you the story.  They had to act it out - it was alot of fun watching them.

There are still a few children who are struggling with writing their names.  If your child is in the 4-5 class please continue to help him/her at home. We are now working on writing their last names in class.  If your child is in the 3-4 class we will continue working on it in the classroom setting too.  Sometimes the younger aged children's fingers strength haven't formed yet but it will come as they continue to practice.

I will be putting Fall applications for preschool in your February pymt. envelopes if you are interested in having your child come next Fall.  People in the community and out of state are coming by and calling now for applications for next Fall.  Please get yours in as soon as you can so you can have a good pick as to which time and class you would like your child to be in.  Oh my goodness... its my Anniversary today!!!!

Hi everyone.  I just wanted to let you all know how wonderful your children did on the Christmas Program.  I hope they enjoyed the experience of singing, seeing Santa, sugar cookies and being there with family. Thank you all so much for helping me put away the chairs and cleaning up.  It was the best Christmas present ever.
We will have regular classes on Monday and Tuesday. (17th & 18th) and then preschool will start back up January 7th & 8th.  Have a wonderful wonderful time together and enjoy the Christmas season together!

Our Christmas program will be Dec 14th at 11:00 am at the East Stake Center (church by my house in the gym (children should be in church dress) Families just dress casual.   Remember to bring your cameras!!!

Park in the back of the church - go thru the Northeast door - take your childs coat and turn left and leave your child in the Primary Room. You and your family will then go in the gym -leave your present with the name tag I made for you by santas chair and wait until the program begins. Please do not tell your child that santa will be coming.  I would really like the children to be surprised!! - you will get some really great pics when he arrives! When the kids start singing "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" is when Santa will burst into the gym and the excitement begins!!!!!! We will have preschool the week after the program and then we will be out for Christmas vacation until January 7th & 8th, 2013.

Your child will be getting a Christmas card in the mail.  Please just be aware that the Jan. calender will be inside.  Merry Christmas and may the Lords presence be in your homes this beautiful holiday season!

NO school the week of Thanksgiving....
Well parents, your kids look like they survived Halloween and here it is almost Thanksgiving!
This week we are learning the letter "K".  We made in our 4-5 year old classes Pilgrims and tomorrow we will be making our annual Pumpkin Pies!  The kids just love doing this.  In our 3-4 year old class we made Indian head bans with a feather that each child picked.  You are probably wondering if the children are learning anything these days in preschool.  Let me just tell you - they are!  We have started practicing our Christmas Program and they ALL are so excited to sing for you.  Please do not tell them abt. Santa Clause.   They should have no idea until the day of the program - December 14th at 11:00 at the East Stake Center.  Just come in the back door and the Primary room is in the middle of the back of the church as you come in.  I have not received any of your presents and so I am going to change the instructions I gave you in your November envelopes.
Bring your childs gift from Santa to the Christmas Party and when you go into the gym just put your childs gift by Santas chair or find me.  I will give you all a name tag to put on your childs present in the December payment envelope so Santa will be able to read the same writing on each childs gift.  Please just come and talk to me if you have any questions.  Thanks so much!!!!!
