Hello Families!

The first week of school flew by and we have been exploring all areas of the classroom and learning about the preschool routine. On Wednesday and Thursday children investigated the House Area and the Art Area. We talked about the many different items in each area and brainstormed some ideas for ways to use the materials. The children were then able to test out their ideas during small group time!

Here are the children hard at work in the Art and House Areas:

 

We also finished off the first week of Daily 5 -Listening to Reading with a dramatic reading of Llama Llama Misses Mama by Anna Dewdney in Arabic by Ms. Thabet!

 

Next week begins full days of school for the children; drop off will be 8:40am and Pick up will be 3:20pm. Please continue to talk with your child about how they will be sleeping at school, even the bravest child can become nervous and/or scared when sleeping in an unfamiliar place for the first time. Here are some ideas for things to talk about: Ms. Thabet and Mrs. Stortini will keep you safe while you’re sleeping, teachers will wake you up when nap time is over, moms and dads will pick you up at the end of the day to come home.

 

A few reminders for next week:

-If you have not already done so please send in a small blanket for your child to use on their cot during rest time.

-Please give yourself plenty of time to find a space in the parking lot at drop off and pick up time. Courtesy will prevent accidents!

 

Have a great weekend and we can’t wait to see everyone on Monday!

~Mrs. Stortini and Ms. Thabet
