FRIDAY UPDATE
Lynsey Howitt Pre K E115
Dear Parents,
What a fantastic first week
we had! We spent most of the time learning the routines of Pre-K; finding
the bathroom, where to line up after recess, how to get to the cafeteria, where
all the supplies belong and how to clean up the room! Your little ones did a
great job. Our cuties probably went home really tired every day! It takes awhile to get used to the day! Here
are some of the things we did this first week.
Take a few minutes and ask your child about them. J We...
*drew first day self
portraits to add to our portfolios to compare with portraits drawn at the end
of the year.
*rolled dough and made
“kissing hand” cookies
*played outside on the
playground and learned where to line up
*learned the song There is
a Friend in our Class to help remember the names of our friends, as well as
Hello and Hello Neighbor (we danced to this one! J)
* went to Ma Lao Shi and
Lin Lao Shi’s Chinese Room and Mr. Geoff’s Fun Room.
*Read the books The
Kissing Hand, Rainbow Fish, The Hungry Caterpillar, Have You Filled A Bucket
Today? My Hands, Aaron’s Hair and Big Al.
NEXT WEEK
Next week we will continue
establishing rules/routines to help us be more independent throughout the
school year (this takes a few weeks of reinforcement) and we will begin a unit
on All About My Friends and Me.
NAMES ON SHIRTS
Some parents did ask for alternatives, to permanent marker, for
writing names on the children’s uniform shirts. Here are some ideas sent by
parents.

BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT
Wednesday 28 August
is ECC Back to School Night from 6:30 – 8:30. On this evening we will go
over a slideshow of our daily routine and discuss the curriculum. I will
also have a calendar for volunteer signups until Christmas. Please be
sure to bring your personal calendar so you can sign up! I will be
looking for volunteers Tuesday-Thursday from 11:15 – 12:15.
REMINDERS
*We will begin going to the
Library on Wednesday. Look for a red bad to come home that day
* Check your child’s “zippy
pouch” daily as it may contain important information.
*Please leave bus tags
attached to backpacks at all times.
*Lunch menus should be
returned to school each week. Don’t forget to fill out both sections
(including a drink), add your child’s name to the portion that comes to school,
and keep the parent copy at home.
*I will send a class list
with phone numbers and addresses next week. Please let me know if you do
not want your information added to the list.
Have a fantastic weekend with your little ones!
Lynsey and Aidah
