February 2012

January was a terrific month for us.  We returned from holiday recess ready for lots of fun together.  Back in September, each Teacher held a Parent Meeting in their classroom to provide an opportunity to discuss classroom rules, goals, the use of our student evaluations, and to participate in a Question/Answer time together.  Parents also received a copy of the current student evaluation form we use.  Each January we then hold our Parent/Teacher Conferences and in addition to the student evaluations, our Parents are also able to see their child’s active Portfolio which is rich with art, skill level activities, dictation and many photos.  We realized 100% attendance and 100% agreement that everyone is having a great year!

We LOVE February here at preschool and this month we will have some very busy days. What fun it will be sharing Valentine’s with our classmates on February 13th & 14th.  On February 16th and 17th, our photographer will be here taking class and graduate pictures. All 3’s and 4’s will have their hearing checked on Wednesday the 22nd and we invite our 2-day students to set an appointment if you have concerns about your child’s hearing.  Chapel & Musical Moments will be held on the 23rd and 24th.  And because we get an EXTRA day in February this Leap year, we’ve made February 29th an Outdoor Center Leap Day for the whole school.  Fun, FUN, FUN!!

February also means that Registration for the 2012-2013 school year is just around the corner.  On February 15, 2012, current students and their siblings and alumni families will begin registering for Fall 2012.  This is also an extremely busy month for us as we spend the days showing Little Disciples Preschool to families who want their children to attend next fall.  On March 1, 2012, we will open registration to the public.  If you or someone you know is interested in joining us, please call us soon to set an appointment to visit (note: we offer 10% discount on tuition to our church members).

Teacher’s Tidbits
By Miss Snider

Happy New Year!  We are rolling right along here at preschool.  Miss Snider and her friends spent the first month of the New Year learning all about transportation.  We made traffic lights and sail boats.  We also made torn paper roads for cards, trucks and buses to drive on.   

For the month of February we will be learning all about Art and making masterpieces, painting sunflowers like Van Gogh and beautiful garden collages like Monet.  We also celebrate Valentines Day with a card exchange and a party!  We are having so much fun and our days are filled with love, laughter and learning!
