*4-5 year old classes:  I’ve been thinking of ways I can help my preschoolers continue learning. I put together a packet for each child with their name on it to come and pick up on Monday morning March 30th. I did not set a time.. just to be safe.  There is a colored folder also with your child’s name on it - please take yours and make copies of the practice sheets enclosed on the right side of the folder behind their sight word books.

I don’t know how much longer this is going to last so there will not be any preschool until further notice.  Thank you for your patience and May you all be well❤️

*If the 3-4 year old class mothers would like me to make packets for their children,  please let me and I will be happy to do that for you too!

As a precaution I am canceling preschool until March 30th. We will resume then, having our “T” party, learning about manners, dressing in superhero and princess clothes and learning how to waltz.

Quick note...my Tuesday and Thursday class is full for fall 2020.  I have 3 openings left for each Monday and Wednesday classes.

February went by so fast!  March, April and May will be here before you know it.

*March 11 and 12 no school. My daughter from Boston is coming to visit and I need to take her back to the airport for her 11pm flight on the 11th and 12th
*”T” party will be March 16th and 17th. Please dress your child up in a princess dress/super hero. We will learn about manners, dance and eat from my t set so the children will learn how to serve and pass food to each other

APRIL happenings:
My hip replacement is scheduled for April 9. It is a ten day recovery. There will be no school on April 9,13,14,15,16 and 20. Your half payment in January was for the days I will be missing in April. Please make your normal $85 pymt for April.

Kindergarten registration (exam for placement) will be the second week of April.  Your grade school should send you a letter the 1rst week of April to let you know about this. However, if you are new to  the area and they do not have your child’s name, please call your local grade school and give them your info.

Idaho law says your child has to be age 5 by Sept. 1rst in order to register for kindergarten.

MAY happenings:

graduation for my 4-5 yr Monday-Wednesday class will be at 11:00am
graduation for me 4-5 yr Tuesday-Wednesday class will be at 12:00 noon

graduation will be in my back yard. Please have your child dressed in his/her best Sunday clothes. Bring your blankets/folding chairs to sit on during the program.  The program will be short and sweet!

*3-4 yr old class will have no graduation. Last day of school for them will be May 20 with a cake walk (cakes made by each mother) to give away and party.

It was so good teaching again this week. With the school closures and sicknesses it has really been a tough January.  Today my Tuesday class was fantastic.  We practiced our phonics, identified letters, shapes, sight words with two new words(come-here), numbers up to 20, words that rhyme, months of the year.  Some still need help writing their name, but overall it was wonderful.

I will do the same for the Wednesday 4-5 yr olds class tomorrow and I can’t wait to review with them all the learning they have accomplished.

My 3-4 yr olds are slowly learning how to trace, count to 10, a few can write their names too. They have 4 different shapes memorized and are really trying hard to say the months of the year. They love their phonics and learning all the songs that go with each letter.  They’re right where they should be.

I’m accepting new applications for fall 2020. My Tuesday-Thursday class has two openings left.  Please if your interested fill out your child’s preschool application.  I put one in each of my 3-4yr olds February calendar envelope in case your interested.

I love your children and can’t thank you enough for the privilege of teaching and having lasting friendships with them. Thank you so very much.

There will be preschool Jan 20th.  We missed all last week so we are having preschool tomorrow with regular schedules even tho school is out for the district.

Today is wed Jan 15th. Madison school district cancelled schools today in the area because of wind and snow drifting.  So preschool is cancelled too. Hopefully, tomorrow we will be able to have school again. I will text you in the morning for my Thursday class if school is cancelled. If you don’t hear from me then it means there will be school. Here’s hoping👍
