Show and Tell will be on Monday of each week. Bringing something to show or tell about helps the child develop their ability to speak in a group along with other skills. Please, however, screen what they bring (variety of things rather than repeating the same object each time). Children can also tell of a trip or other experience. It is not necessary for a child to take part every time. No weapons, cosmetics or makeup please. Limit to one item per day. Mondays should be the only day that the children bring extra items (other than lunchbox) to school. It is also helpful for your child to bring items related to our curriculum (i.e. dinosaurs during dinosaur week).
Each month we will send home a Book Club flier allowing you to purchase age-appropriate books at reasonable prices, to encourage reading in your homes. The school receives profits in books (not cash) to build its own library for preschool use. Reading to your preschooler is very important to your child’s development. Books will be a valued part of our school day. Please continue reading at home.
Each Friday morning at 8:45 a.m. the children are taken into the church for chapel service. The service runs 20 to 30 minutes. Parents are invited to come to chapel service. We ask that you sit in the 5th pew or any pew behind that, not farther forward. Pastor Breznen officiates once each school month. You will need to sit in the back if you bring babies or toddlers. Our preschoolers need to be able to hear our service without distractions.
We love to sing at preschool. Each day we use the piano and many other instruments. Twice each year you are invited to our school programs where the preschoolers enjoy singing and performing for you.
Each morning we have snack time at school. Please keep the snack ‘to a snack’ not a lunch. A piece of fruit or cookies and drink are more than enough. A whole sandwich is too much. If you do send a half of sandwich and drink, please do not send fruit and cookies also. Also, please do not send marshmallows, squeeze yogurts, peanuts, candy, soda or extremely messy foods.
If you would like to celebrate your child’s birthday in school, please make arrangements with the teacher ahead of time. The Board of Health will not permit us to serve home baked goods. Any foods you bring must be accompanied with a sales slip, which you must sign and we must keep on file. We also celebrate most of the holidays during the school year. If you’d like to contribute to our many holiday parties, please let the teacher know. In consideration of the children’s feelings – Birthday Party Invitations will not be distributed at school (unless the whole school is invited). We will provide you with an address list of the students.
