Week One Update

What a fantastic first week we have had!  We spent most of the time learning the routines of Pre-K; finding the bathroom, getting used to the flow of the day, how to get to the cafeteria, playground, our room, where all the supplies belong and how to clean up the room! Your little ones did a great job. Our cuties are probably going home really tired!  It takes awhile to get used to the day!
We have also spent a lot of time reading books together, singing, dancing, visiting Mango and Oreo Cookie, exploring the different areas of our hub, and playing games. We made slime, gave Mango and Oreo baths and haircuts, and it is was lovely to see friendships already developing!!!
We also celebrated our first birthday!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMELIA!!!!!!!!!!
Because of the very yummy cupcake treat for Amelia’s birthday, we are saving the “Friday ice-cream” for Monday. J
There have been quite a few students out sick this week throughout SAS.  We hope that everyone who has been ill is back healthy and happy on Monday, and don’t forget to remind your kids about how important it is to cover their coughs and sneezes and wash their hands! J If your child is feeling unwell, please do keep them at home.
Please see pictures from the week at
I will talk you through the rest of the blog at Back to School Night.
REMINDERS
* Don’t forget to check your child’s “zippy pouch” daily as it may contain important information.

*Please leave bus tags attached to backpacks.
*Lunch menus should be returned to school each week.  Please have your child’s name on them.  Please state on that form if your child is to have ice cream/popsicles or not.  You should get an e-mail if the money is low on the card. We keep the cards at school.
*If you are out shopping and see fruit, granola bars, crackers, cheese etc, please feel free to get some for our classroom!  We set fruit out in the mornings for when the kiddos arrive, and keep snacks in the baskets and fridge to nibble on throughout the day.  You can send these things in at any time (separate from your child’s snack or lunch.)  Thank you so much!
*If your child is being picked up, please make sure that the person picking them up (Mom, Dad, helper, grandparents) make eye contact with Ms. Jaya, tell her their name and the child’s name so she can check you off. This helps ensure the safety of all of our students.
*Don’t forget to encourage independence at home! You should see these rock stars at school!  They can put away their snacks and lunches, help clean up the room, and eat by themselves! Encouraging them to do the same at home would help them out a lot!
 *BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT on Wednesday, August 30th
6:00 to 7:15
We start in the bottom level of the high school library for introductions to the entire ELC and a short message from our ELC Deputy Principal Ms. Jo.  We will then walk back to our classroom where we will introduce each other to start building our classroom community and I will have you write a letter of inspiration for your child.  (I will explain that evening. J)  We hope everyone can make it!


Have a fantastic weekend with your little ones!  We can’t wait to see them back here on Monday!!!!! J
