December

Hello December! 

Christmas is just around the corner. And when you are in Pre-K, everything is just going so fast. 

December is the season of Advent and Christmas. 

Advent means “coming” of Jesus.  During the Advent season we are awaiting and preparing for the arrival of Jesus.  Most of the activities that we are going to do in Pre-K are focused on Advent and Christmas.  We will be doing Christmas crafts and activities. As much as we want to sing Christmas songs we are not allowed to, that is why we will just try to make this Christmas a little bit special in our own little way. 

In the last couple of days, the Pre-k's have been busy practicing our two little Christmas poems for the Christmas Concert. They are entitled, "J-E-S-U-S" and "I'M A LITTLE SANTA". It will be a little different from what we were used to. This year's Christmas concert will be filmed in advance and a link will be sent to families on the evening of Wednesday, December 16th at 7:00 p.m..  We are very excited to stand on stage and share it with our families.  You can watch it with family on that night. 

Reminders: 

* Wednesday, December 9th - NO SCHOOL - IN SERVICE 

* Wednesday, December 16th - Virtual Christmas Concert 

* Friday, December 18th - Last day for this year, Early dismissal at 2:25 p.m. 

* December 19th - January 5th - CHRISTMAS BREAK 

* Wednesday, January 6th - Pre-K classes resumes 

Have a wonderful Christmas and a joy-filled New Year! 

Stay safe and healthy. 

Love, 

Mrs. Francisco

 

November

 

Hello November! 

It is the month of November already. It has been almost three months since we started our classes. The Pre-kindergartens are now getting the routine. We now also experienced the first snowfall and we have talked about the cold weather days and what do they need to wear on these cold weather days. 

They are making a very steady progress with the activities that we are doing - tracing, coloring, and glueing. We're doing a variety of activities about numbers, colors, shapes and letters. We are also doing different crafts and activities depending on the season or the holiday. So far, we have done fall, Thanksgiving and Halloween. 

These are some of the PreK's in action. 

I appreciate parents whose letting their children stay home if they are not feeling well. Please also be reminded that no hugs, high fives or other forms of physical contact. However, we can air high fives just to let them feel that we are still have this connection. A reminder to please let them wear proper clothing since it is now getting cold. 

Also, since Christmas is fast approaching and we are on a different situation right now. The school will be preparing a different way of presenting the Christmas concert. For the PreK's, I will be sending home an activity for our presentation on the Christmas Concert. 

Please let them bring healthy snacks only.  

Reminders: 

November 6 - Friday - No School Student-Led Conference 

November 13 - Friday - PreK picture day

November 20 - Friday - Administration Day - No School

Take care and Stay safe.
