Welcome back and Happy New Year! I hope you all had a
wonderful Christmas and New Year with your families.
This month we will be talking about winter and cold. We
will learn about cold weather animals and experiment with snow and ice.
On Tuesday, January 22 at 7 pm, the school will be
hosting “Taking the Next Step”, an informational evening. If your child will
be three before December, you should plan on attending. You will be able to
meet the Primary teachers and learn about the program that your child will be
moving to next.
Parent Conferences are Thursday, January 31 and Friday,
February 1. Sign-up sheets are posted on the classroom door.
Happy Birthday Daniel (9th) and Emma (24th).
Please remember to send cold weather clothing with your
child, including hats, gloves, and boots. You may leave an extra set of cold
weather clothing at school if you like. Also please remember to label ALL
clothing and foot wear. This will help to insure that your child returns home
with all his/her belongings.
Look for these upcoming February events:
Thursday 7th Embracing Diversity 9-10 am
Friday 8th Montessori 101 9-10
am
Sunday 10th Open House 1-3

Friday 15th PTSA International Festival
As always, I am available for your questions by way of
e-mail, phone or just stop by.

Greetings Parents & Friends,
November is a special time of the year for most families. We are celebrating
Thanksgiving and preparing for the coming holidays.
Let us
take time with our children to reflect on the many things that we are thankful
for. Most of us will think of all the material things that we have a house, a
car and food and clothing. But let us not forget happiness, peace, and the
hope we have in Christ Jesus. May you and your family have a heartfelt
Thanksgiving.
With
the weather getting colder, you will want to check your child’s change of
clothing drawer to make sure they have the proper attire. Remember that we go
outside everyday to play, so please make sure your child has a jacket. Also,
make sure all clothing is labeled with your child’s name.
Picture
retake day is Nov. 13th if you haven’t had your child’s picture
taken. Forms are available in the office.
The
PTSA Book Fair is November 15th through the 21st. It
will be held in the gym. Make sure to stop by and check it out.
We will
be celebrating Thanksgiving on Tuesday, November 20th. A sign-up
sheet will be posted on the door for those that would like to donate. Details
to follow. We have a half day on Wednesday, November 21st. You will
need to pick up your child at 11:30. Daycare is available for the afternoon
for those who sign up. A sign-up sheet will be on the classroom door. Also as
a reminder there will be no school on Thursday, November 22nd and
Friday, November 23rd.
