Week of June 3-7, 2019:  Last week of Pre-K 4

Dear Parents,

It is a bittersweet week as we enjoy the last week of pre-K 4, but feel a little bit sad to say goodbye to our pre-K friends.   Our wee ones will have a memorable last week of pre-K 4 as we play, create, offer praise and thanks to God, and have fun with our pals!

This week, the little ones will use their imaginations to go CAMPING in the classroom!   Yes, the wee campers will pretend to build a safe campfire with paper towel tubes for the logs and colored tissue paper for the flames.  The children will be one with Mother Nature as we fish for ABC letters, count frogs, build a tent area, stack up paper and cotton ball s’mores in patterns, sing songs around the “camp fire” and tell fun stories.  Our wee ones will also take a nature walk and observe the classroom cocoons that have made an incredible change over the weekend.  Spoiler Alert:  We have butterflies in the classroom!

Classroom Info:

We are a tree nut-free classroom.  Please check all food items and treats for the presence of tree nuts and if the food items may come in contact with tree nuts at the facility.  Thank you for your consideration and care throughout the school year!

Please continue to send extra water into school during these warm days.

Sneakers and supportive shoes help as we move and groove throughout the day inside and outside of school.

Lost and Found:  One yellow blanket and a black fleece jacket are in our closet.  Please let me know if you are missing these items.

Please, no more toys to be sent in for Toy Tuesday.  Thanks!

Last day of Pre-K 4 for our 3-Day friends will be on Thursday, June 6th.
Last day of Pre-K 4 for our 5-Day friends will be on Friday, June 7th.

Progress Reports will be distributed this week.  Your child’s classroom items, crafts, folders, and a special gift will be sent home this week...hopefully by Wednesday.


End of Year Celebration Information:

No parking in the school lot for the show and celebration due to elementary school’s morning recess schedule.  Thank you!

Date and Time:  Thursday, June 6th at 10:00 a.m.  After the show, games and activities have been organized by the wonderful Pre-K 4 Homeroom Moms of both pre-K classes.

A pizza lunch is available if you placed an order.  If you have yet to do so, please send in your RSVP as soon as possible.  It is not mandatory to order the lunch.  You may bring in a packed lunch for your child if he or she does not like pizza.  If you should decide to leave during the lunch time, please check in with me so I may keep track of the children in attendance. 

A parent or adult caregiver must attend the celebration and stay with his or her pre-K child during the show, games, and lunch.  Dismissal will be at 12:00 p.m. after lunch.  All pre-K children and parents will dismiss at this time from O’Brien Hall.  If a caregiver will be attending in your place and/or dismissing with your child on Thursday, please send me the caregiver’s name.

On Thursday, please leave your child’s backpack at home.  He or she may wear colorful, summer-y clothing for the celebration.  Our class will be standing on the left side of the stage as viewed from the audience.  

If you have an older sibling in our school and would like him/her to attend the pre-K 4 performance, kindly inform the office if you will be taking your child out of school for the show.  The children have permission to attend the show portion of the celebration, but must return to class after the singing performance (before games and lunch).  Please check with the sibling’s teacher to be sure the show time does not conflict with testing, etc.

We look forward to a fantastic and fun end to our time in pre-K 4.  Mrs. Piel, Mrs. Piccone and I send all our wee ones the very best wishes for happiness as our friends enjoy a relaxing, healthy summer and new educational journeys in the fall.  A special thank you to Mrs. Piel and Mrs. Piccone who have provided such a warm and wonderful classroom experience for all our pre-K pals!

Thank you, dear parents, for your enthusiastic support of your child and his or her learning experience.  It has truly been a blessing to get to know your child and family.  I greatly appreciate the care, kindness, and consideration you have offered throughout the school year.  It will be a sad day saying goodbye to our wee friends, but the joy, smiles, and fun memories will last.  Please feel free to drop us a line or come for a visit to let us know how your little one is doing! 

Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Enjoy a happy and blessed week,
Kaky Mullen
