 Building a culture of life, and a civilization of love through faith and knowledge

                       Mrs. Russo's Pre-K 4 Classroom News.....


Here's to a very happy and healthy new year!  We are so excited to have Mrs. Nancy Light as our teacher aide!  THANK YOU again for all of the thoughtfulness and generosity at Christmas.  We have many exciting themes planned for the month of January~~~ Winter Fun, Bears, Safety, Review Week, and Dental Hygiene. 

For our Bear Theme, please have your child bring in his/her favorite stuffed bear (or any type of stuffed animal) on Wednesday, January 11th.  For our Review Week we will go over our colors, shapes, #'s 1-10 and our ABC letters.  This same week we will also be working in our Handwriting Workbooks. 

Our letters this month will be D, K, R, and N.  In Religion, we are continuing with Unit 3.  We will discuss God's Gift of Weather, Land, Light, Color, and Air.

School will be closed on Monday, January 16th for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. 

Starting the week of January 22nd, we will be focusing on one student each week to be "Star Student".  We will be going in alphabetical order according to their last name.  We will be sending home a Star Sudent sheet to be filled out the Thursday before your child's special week.  Please fill out the sheet and have it returned by that Monday.  Include pictures if you would like!  Along with the completed sheet, please send in your child's favorite book to be read during his/her special week.  A Star Student list is included on the Pre-K 4 web page.  I will also send home a reminder note when it is your child's week.

In the event that there is a late opening due to snow or ice, we will be following the same procedure as the rest of the school.  This means that our arrival time will be 10:00.  We will not have snack on late openings since lunch would still be at 11:30 and the half day children would be leaving at 11:30.  Let's hope we have a kind winter this year!  Let's keep encouraging the children to put on their own coats and even zipper them.  They really do get so excited when they are able to do things all on their own. :)
