Hello PreK families and Happy New Year!
We hope that you all had a lovely week away from school. It was great to see children come to school this week and know their morning routine. They know to hang up their outdoor clothes, change into indoor shoes, put their lunchbox in their cubby, move their name magnet and wash their hands. What's new in PreK? We now have a job chart! Most days your child will have a job, some days they will be "on vacation". Ask your child what his/her favorite job is! Did you know that PreK students can purchase school breakfast, snack and lunch every day? Just fill out the form in your home/school folder or let us know in the morning. At any time your family can apply for free/reduced meals. Email Ms. Matthews in the office for details on how to do this. You can find the school menu here: http://www.wcsu32.org/domain/133 We ask that your child bring healthy foods for snack and lunch, and a water bottle. We do have a microwave in our classrom and are happy to heat your child's meal. Please save cookies, desserts, candy and sugary drinks for home. One more note about eating at school - all Rumney classrooms, including ours are NUT FREE. Nuts, nut butters, and nut products are not allowed in the classroom. Thank you! During the week away two parent volunteers made fleece neckwarmers for our two classes! We will leave these at school and encourage children to wear them on windy brisk days. Thank you to the parents who helped with this project! Are you missing mittens? We do our best to match mittens/gloves to students but with 27 students and 54 mittens we might make a mistake. Please be sure to LABEL every item to help aid us with this! This week in Music class we sang/danced to the following songs: *Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes *Stars and Stripes Forever (with egg shakers) *Two Little Blackbirds *Snowflakes Snowflakes *Round Little Snowman *My Aunt Came Back *Story of Two Stars in Canon D We visit the library every Monday and Thursday. Please return your borrowed book each week. Books can be returned to our classroom bin any day, or directly to the library. You can contact Mrs. Woodard directly to see what books are signed out to your student(s). Remember to check the side bar of this page ------> for Ms. Caitlin's email, a link to the PTO facebook page, important upcoming dates, our classroom wish list and MORE! Happy weekend! ~Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi

T'was the week before Vacation and PreK was having fun! Inside, outside, twisty fun! We are ready for families, for friends, for vacation! See you all in January! Healthy wishes to all and to all a safe week! ~Ms. Caitlin and Ms. Honi MONDAY/TUESDAY: WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY/FRIDAY:
Here's a little update from our week. This week we both braved the weather, and were kept inside due to the weather. The children had a really fun time sledding! We ask that children continue to bring their warmest gear to stay comfortable outside. Waterproof mittens/gloves and a warm hat are a must. Be sure to LABEL all of your items. Did you see the email update about our snow delay procedure? Here it is in a nutshell: Monday/Tuesday - In the event of a TWO HOUR DELAY: Pre-K arrival time will be 10:45 with the end time remaining the same at 1:45. Wedesday/Thursday/Friday - In the event of a TWO HOUR DELAY: Pre-K will be cancelled. CC After Care will also be cancelled. If you have any questions please let us know! There has been a stomach bug illness throughout our school. Please note that the school's policy is that children must be fever free and without medication for 24 hours before returning to school. Please wait a full 24 hours if your child has vomitted. If your child feels unwell please consider keeping them home for the health of our classmates and teachers. Thank you! We are still collecting crib sheets and could use a few more! Reminder that school will be closed December 26th - Janurary 1st. Stay healthy! ~Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi Monday, Tuesday: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday:
Monday, Tuesday: Pictures from Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: Have a great weekend! :)
Hello PreK families!
It's beginning to look a lot like WINTER! The snow is lovely and so much fun to play in! Please be sure to send your child with warm layers including: A warm jacket Snowpants Boots A hat Waterproof mittens/gloves Please label EVERY item so we can be sure it is sent home to the right family. It's also important to have indoor shoes at school. Sneakers work best. Please read our PreK snow day/delay procedure below. Note that the different sessions of PreK have different plans. Let us know if you have any questions. We are so lucky to have spent time making puppets with No Strings Marionette Company. Thank you for attending our puppet shows! Enjoy the pictures below! ~Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi Hello Rumney PreK families. Thank you for taking the time to check our blog and read about our week. We have finished making our sock puppets and will continue to practice using these puppets to make the story of "The Little Red Hen" come to life. Our red hens will ask for help from many different animal friends including butterflies, bats, polar bears, tigers, and even a unicorn. Rumney students in grades K-1 will share their puppet shows on the afternoon of December 1st. We will host our own puppet shows in our classroom on the following dates: Tuesday, November 29th at 1:15. Friday, December 2nd at 11:30. We hope that you can join us! The past week has been mostly warm and sunny. We see that there is snow in the forecast for next week. Reminder... on snowy days or when snow is in the forecast students need to have: ~a warm jacket ~snowpants ~boots ~mittens/gloves ~a hat Please label every piece of outdoor clothing! Here are a few conversation starters that might help to get your child talking about their day: ~What greeting did you do today? ~What did you do during table time, or choice time? ~Did you work on an art project today? ~What songs did you sing at music/books did you read at library? ~What friend did you play with at recess? Reminder.... school is CLOSED next Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Have an enjoyable Thanksgiving day and vacation week! Best, Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi Pictures from Monday & Tuesday: Here are a few pictures from the end of the week:
Enjoy this peek from our busy week last week! THANK YOU to everyone who was able to come and have a parent/teacher conference!
~Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi Hello!
It's fun to see new friendships and how excited the children are to see each other every day. Look at the fun they are having together! Starting Monday we will be part of the Artist in Residence with No Strings Marionette Company. This will be a wonderful chance for students to work hands on with artists to create their own puppet! For more information go to: http://www.wcsu32.org/Domain/132 Remember that the COOKIE LOVE PTO fundraiser is due by Thursday the 10th. No school Friday, November 11th. Best! ~Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi We have fit a lot of FALL FUN into a few days! Take a look at the pictures below to see the fun we've had in Music Class, with apples and pumpkins, in the SNOW and celebrating Halloween!
Please remember to send warm layers and winter weather clothing including snow pants, a jacket, boots, a hat and mittens. It's important to label everything with your child's name or initials! This is the last week to send in items for the food shelf/Harvest Dinner. The school wide goal is 1000 items and we are still more than half way away from that goal. There is a donation box outside of our classroom. ~Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Honi |
