Curriculum Update
Here we are, going into the last month of the summer. Themes run all throughout the year, but the summer tends to be a bit laid back in the curriculum. This month our main focus will be dinosaurs. This is a great unit and all the kids love learning about these huge prehistoric creatures. Tons of fun to be had Our color is purple and our letters are Q, R, and Z.
Pool party
We will be having an end of the summer pool party at Nana Sandler’s on Saturday August 25th at 12:00. This is the only day that we’ll be able to do it, so if it gets rained out we’ll just have to look forward to next year . We’ll have a barbecue and everyone can bring something. I’ll post a sign up sheet, a couple of weeks before, on the cork board.
Expectations for last year preschoolers
This includes Jin, Deepak, Austin, Madison, and Emma
All children should have a well developed routine, but it becomes more important as they enter school. I want to take this opportunity we have in our last year together to help prepare the children and also the parents to ensure a successful transition into kindergarten. A good night sleep is essential in ensuring the children are going to school ready to learn. They should arrive at school no later than 9:00 AM. Some homework will be given on occasion that will enhance some of the skills your child is working on. It wasn’t very long ago that Bri started school and I remember feeling a bit overwhelmed at the new responsibility I had. Helping our kids develop good work habits and independence in learning can be challenging at times, but so important in helping the kids have a positive educational experience. School should be looked at as the most important aspect in your child’s life and everything else revolves around it.
Be sure to wish Jin a happy 4th birthday on August 16th !!!
