a spot for summer and fall. There is a re-enrollment fee of $50.00 for children
that are continuing on into the next school year. Also there is a summer fee of
$125.00 for full time students, three day a week students are $95.00, and two
day a week students are $62.50. This will be to help cover the cost for all the
fun-filled events that we will have. Summer fee will be on your June statement.

Ms. Stacey’s Maternity Leave

have guessed Ms. Stacey is expecting a new baby. She will be on maternity leave
from February 13th to April 18th. We are all very excited
and anxious for the new arrival. Please take a moment to stop by the office to
wish Ms. Stacey well.
Parent
teacher conferences Just a quick reminder that parent
teacher conferences for the Threes and Fours are coming up. If you didn’t sign
up, stop by the office and we can schedule a time for you to meet with your
child’s teacher. We will also send out reminders as your conference
approaches.
Student
art file
Please take the time to check your
student’s art folder at least once a week. Your children are very proud of
their work and love to show it off.
Spare
clothes Please make sure you keep a spare outfit
in your child’s cubby. Just in case there’s a diaper failure or spilled soup at
lunch. Children often get sticky and feel more comfortable in dry clothes. At
this time of the year, the spare clothes should be long pants, long sleeve
shirt, maybe an extra sweater, and most definitely extra socks and underwear.
Enrichment
Programs Are you aware of our wonderful enrichment
programs that your child maybe involved in? There are several!
Mondays the children in the Butterfly
room and Froggie room are involved in our Hot Shots Sports program. Hot Shots
is a physical education motor development program. Hot Shots strives to provide
a safe and positive environment in which your child can grow physically,
mentally, socially, and emotionally, through physical activity and instruction.
It is of the utmost importance to us that each child experiences success and
has fun.
On Thursdays the Froggies and
Butterflies have Science with Ms. Stacey. She leads the 3’s and 4’s into the
amazing world of science. Children weigh, measure, cook, experiment, grow
plants, and explore
their 5
senses in a fun-filled half hour of discovery! Topics include weather, the solar system, our bodies, land,
and marine animals, plants, and bugs.
Fridays we take the children from the
Rainbow room, Butterfly room, and Froggie room to enjoy music and movement with
Ms. Barbara. This music class is fun, creative, and developmentally appropriate
for all ages. Ms. Barbara offers a
variety of music experiences for the whole child. The children dance, learn about
instruments, play instruments, sing and participate in movement activities.

your prettiest Easter wear and your best smile. Flip’s photos will be here
Friday, March 2nd for spring photos. Individual pictures will start

We look forward to a lovely February full of friendship and love. We are excited for our classroom Valentines party on February 14th at 11am. The children will exchange cards and enjoy classroom treats.
Also in the month of February we will be talking about Presidents Day and healthy eating (nutrition). We’d like to say one last thank you to all the parents who purchased toys and activities from the giving tree. The children are enjoying all their new things.
We’d like to welcome two new faces to our classroom, Lily and Shreyas, we are so happy that they have joined our preschool family.
Love,
The Rainbow Room Teachers
Butterfly Room
The first of 2012 flew right by! We started the New Year very positively and full of enthusiasm. The children jumped right back into our schedule. In January we discussed and explored the following themes: The world, Japan, India, and Mexico. We learned how different how different people and families come from different languages and eat different foods. Our letters of the month were J, K, and L.
Our fieldtrip to see Peter Rabbit was so much fun! The children transitioned very smoothly and successfully, showing us that “big” fieldtrips are definitely possible. Our next planned trip is to Pizza My Heart in March.
February’s themes are: Presidents Day, friendship, kindness, and Valentine’s Day. Our letters this month are M, N, O, and P. We will continue to discuss and expand on our colors, numbers, days of the week, month, year, etc.
We look forward to a wonderful month full of love and joy.
Love and learning,
Ms. Laura and Ms. Jessica
Froggie Room
The first month of 2012 passed in the blink of an eye. We had a wonderful time on our field trip to see Peter Rabbit. Thank you to all the parents who helped out.
The Froggies had a busy but fun month of January. We talked about Chinese New Year and its meaning. We also decorated our classroom with our monthly art work. We had one week dedicated to colors where we learned to mix colors to make new ones. We talked about rainbows and what colors they were made from. We also covered letters Q, R, S, T, and U and numbers 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20.
We have planned a fun filled month for February. Our themes will be Valentine’s Day, Presidents Day, things that go, and weather and sky.
We are also excited to welcome back Ms. Lyn!!
Ms. Lyn, Ms.Chandana and Ms. Nandita
