March News



March 6, 2018


Dear PreK Families,


Thank you so much for visiting the classroom for our PreK Valentine Card Sale. It was so nice for every
one to come in and spend some time working with your child in the classroom. I was so sorry to miss
out due to being sick. We collected $8.60 in the am class, and $5 in the pm class for the Humane
Society donation.


We have been trying very hard to keep our hands clean and wash well. It has been a difficult season
for illnesses. Thank you so much for keeping you children home when they are ill.


The students have been having a lot of fun participating in our Dr. Seuss author study. We have been
reading many classic Dr. Seuss stories, including: Bartholomew and the Oobleck, The Cat in the Hat,
The Many Colored Days, The Lorax, Fox in Socks, and Red Fish Blue Fish. If your child has a favorite
Dr. Seuss story that they would like to share with the class, he or she may bring it in on Friday,
March 9th to show the group. Please write your child’s name in the book before sending it in to us.


We have been doing some science experiments, such as stacking plastic cups, painting, doing art and
craft projects, growing seeds, taking surveys, measuring, counting, and or course rhyming. We also did
yoga and movement to a song about colors that relates to The Many Colored Days. Here is the link to
the song below.  We have used song 1, to do yoga and movement during circle time.


Next, we will be learning about dinosaurs. We have many students who are big dinosaur fans, so it
should be a popular topic.


We have also started to introduce the writing formation for uppercase letters. All uppercase letters start
from the top, so please encourage your child to write from top to bottom if he/she is writing at home.  


Registration packets for PreK and Kindergarten went out last week.  Please let us know if you have any
questions regarding those documents.   


Later this month we have Parent teacher Conferences coming up. There will be no school on
3/23 & 3/24 so that we can have these meetings. Please sign up for a time on the sign-up sheet.


IMPORTANT DATES:
3/9: PTA Movie Night
3/16: NO SCHOOL:  PreK In-Service
3/23 & 3/24: NO SCHOOL: PTC


Thank you,

Mrs. Zayas & Mrs. Paronto
