Read more about our days together and the fun we have!
Hello! Here are a few highlights from Pre-K recently: *Sixth grade students brought in Australian tree frogs and taught us a lot about them including that they eat crickets and small mice. We also learned that we had to wear gloves because our skin has oils that are harmful to them. *Crazy wet weather was fun outside and fun inside. Springtime in Vermont means lots of muddy, wet days. Please continue to pack snow clothes and boots. We will continue to wear snow pants and boots to keep ourselves as clean and dry as possible! Remember to check backpacks for wet clothing at the end of the day! *Happy surprise reunion! A teacher from last year, Ms. Savi, came back to Rumney for a surprise visit and sing-a-long! On Friday, we got to go into the Kindergarten classroom to have a special gathering! Thank you for coming in to conference with Ms. Caitlin if you were able to make it work. If you would still like to schedule a conference, please email Ms. Caitlin and she would be happy to work out a time with you. Even if you do not wish to have a conference, you will still receive a progress note in your child's home/school folder. Be on the lookout! Check out the important upcoming dates in our right side bar -----> Enjoy your weekend! See you next week! ~Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi Monday, Tuesday:

March 28, 2017 Hello! We'd like to extend a few THANK YOUs! Thank you to Hannah & Eliza for subbing for Ms. Honi while she was away last week. Thank you to the chaperones who joined us on our trip to the Flynn Theater to see Pete the Cat. We could not have done it without you. It was a really fun show! Thank you to the families who were able to come in for a conference. If you'd like to set up a time to conference please email Ms. Caitlin or sign up here: http://grades.wcsuonline.org/rumney/conference And now a few notes: A slow wet Spring thaw is upon us. Please continue to sent in snowpants, a warm jacket, boots, a hat and mittens/gloves. This time of year it's helpful to have a full extra set of clothes, or two, in your child's cubby. Our classroom supply of pants, shirts and socks is dwindling. Thank you for helping to keep your child dressed for the weather! Thank you! Enjoy the long weekend! ~Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi Wednesday - Friday: Monday & Tuesday: Pete The Cat:
HAPPY FRIDAY! What a WARM and SUNNY week we have had! It's been a beautiful week to play outside and be with friends. This week we cleaned and cleared out cubbies to give you a chance to reases what your child has for extra clothes/gear. When you return to school next month please send in one complete extra set of clothes and a blanket if your child stays for CC. Mark your calendar! Notes were sent home this week about an upcoming field trip to the Flynn Theater on Tuesday, March 28th. Have a wonderful vacation!

Friday, February 17, 2017 Hello! What a snowy week! Monday we were all home to enjoy the snow, and the rest of the week we enjoyed the snow and mild temperatures at school. We went sledding in new places, and shoveled, and climbed snowbanks. It was lovely to celebrate Valentine's Day with your children. Their Valentines and collection bags were sweet and it was fun to share special things with each other. Thank you for helping to make this such a nice holiday. At the end of the week PreK students had fun eating lunch in the gym with the Kindergartners and attending the All School Meeting, where we said farewell and best wishes to Mr. Rosen. Note that we DO have school on Monday, President's Day. See you then! Reminder - PreK CC green forms are due. Please let us know if you are interested in February or summer vacation community connections! Have a fun and warm weekend! Best, Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi Tuesday: Wednesday - Friday
Hello PreK families! Happy Friday! Here are a few quick notes and reminders: *Please send folders in at the each week. In return we will send home school breakfast/lunch forms, notes from the main office or service providers, notes about upcoming events, and more! *Last week we sent home a green form to fill out about vacation camps provided by Community Connections. Please return these by next Wednesday. *Some cubby baskets are overflowing. If you are picking up your child please take a moment to look through their cubby. *On Monday students had their vision tested by Nurse Martha and the Lion's Club. The nurse will notify you if she recommends you have your child's vision further tested. *Next week we will celebrate Valentine's Day! Remember that giving Valentines is optional, and each child will have fun opening Valentine cards. Thanks everyone! Best, Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi Monday & Tuesday: Thursday & Friday:
This short week flew by! Thank you to the families who were able to come and spend time in our classroom on Tuesday. We look forward to more opportunities to have you visit! This week we learned the sign for "love" and "I love you"! In an effort to keep our students healthy and lessen the spread of germs we are encouraging and teaching how to wash hands properly, cover a sneeze, catch a cough, and keep hands out of noses and mouths. The Rumney school policy is that children must be fever free without medication, as well as vomit and diarrhea free for at least 24 hours before returning to school. Wishing everyone a healthy weekend! Have a wonderful (and long!) weekend! Best, Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi Soon we will celebrate Valentine's Day with songs, stories, and fun in class. Your child is welcome to bring Valentines to share with classmates. Each child will bring a bag of Valentines home, sharing them is optional. If you would like support or supplies to make Valentines for classmates please let us know. We are happy to help! More details below. Monday/Tuesday pictures: Wednesday/Thursday/Friday:
Hello PreK families! Did you know that we are over half way through the school year and next week will celebrate the 100th day of school? Our students are learning so much, they are growing socially and emotionally, and they are filling our days with winter fun! We are taking turns on the sledding hill, cutting snow flakes out of paper, and are even participating in our own Pre-K style of Winter Wellness by "ice skating" in our classroom! We use stockings as our "ice skates" and the tile floor as our "ice rink"! Thank you to the families who were able to join us on Thursday for Songs, Stories & Snacks. We were so happy to have you share a special morning with us. We look forward to repeating this on Tuesday. We will plan more formal family days in the months ahead, and want you to know that you are always welcome to visit our classroom! Note that next Friday, February 3rd there is no school. It is a teacher in-service day. Happy weekend! ~Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi Monday fun: End of week fun:
Hello! We had a wonderful week in PreK! The unseasonably warm weather and fresh snow encouraged us to spend extra time playing outside. Thank you for sending in winter layers and for having extra clothes on hand... we needed them this week. We read and compared three versions of The Mitten and acted the story out with small animal toys. Ask your child about some of the animals that share the warmth of a lost mitten in the classic story! Wishing you a fun weekend! Best, Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi Thanks for a fun week. Enjoy the pictures and notes below!
