What we are learning?

Dear Parents,
 
We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week the children will learn everything about being little gardeners.
 
We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through experiences. The week will start with our Independence Parade on Monday. Children will also enjoy discovering and exploring nature, flowers and gardening. They will also participate in a nature scavenger hunt and we will be using all our senses to find all items in the list. On Wednesday, they will enjoy sharing moments with their classmates on Camping Day.
 
Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Friendly Reminders
·         Wash your hands and your child’s hands when entering the classroom and help your child to find his/her seat.
·         Read your child’s journal, blogs and Friday Newsletter.
·         Label all your child’s clothing and items and make sure that your child has extra set of clothing that is appropriate to weather in his/her cubby.
·         Make sure to remove clothing from the cubby and just leave one set of clothing and a blanket for nap time.
·         Make sure to take the blanket home on Fridays for laundry and bring it back on Monday.
·         Make sure to have enough pull-ups or diapers in the cubby for the day.
·         Label the food that you bring to preschool for your child with your child’s name and the date it was prepared.
·         Do not bring your child to school if the child has a fever of over 101 F or any contagious conditions.
·         Apply sunscreen to your child every morning.
·         Make sure to keep in your child’s cubby a pair of glasses and a summer hat.
·         Have your child wear swimsuit, splashers or swim diapers and water shoes for Splash Day. Make sure to send a towel and a plastic bag for wet items. Label and pack all these items in the tote bag.
·         Sunscreen and mosquito repellant are important to protect your child because he/she is very susceptible to sunburn/mosquito bites. Yet applying sunscreen and mosquito repellent to your child requires planning. If sunscreen and mosquito repellent must be applied to your child, make sure to fill out an administration or authorization form specifying when sunscreen and mosquito repellant should be applied and be sure to supply the sunscreen and mosquito repellant, label the bottles with your child's name and place them in a Ziploc bag.
