Parent Notes:
o Thank you for your prayers and good wishes as I am getting ready to start my student teaching! This class is an amazing group of students, and I will miss teaching them so much! At the same time, they will be a wonderful class for Kelly and Eleni to work with for the rest of the year as they continue to blossom. Feel free to leave me a note or email anytime!
o Kelly spent a day earlier this month observing our class, and she will spent another two or three days in our class before I go, learning the kids and our routines together. She will be here for sure on February 25 and 26, and hopefully another day between now and then as well.
o Our special event for March will be a pajama, movie, and popcorn day on Wednesday, March 10. More details will come next week!
o We will be learning about nutrition next week, so on Wednesday, March 3, we will make “Stone Soup” with the students. If possible, please bring a cut up vegetable of some sort to put together into our stone soup pot on Wed.
o Our preschool classes are already almost full for next fall. I would say 95% of our new parents are referrals from current families, so thank you so much for your good words and referrals! We appreciate your support tremendously.
