January Newsletter
Happy New Year! We would like to thank all of those who helped make our Christmas party and gift exchange such a success! We hope you all had a great holiday season. With the new year comes some new students, so we would like your help in welcoming our new friends Madalyn, Emma and Brady! We are happy to have you in our class!
We also have a Birthday this month, Happy Birthday Taiyo!
Just some quick reminders and changes this month:
There wil no longer be a behavior chart on the bulletin board. We will be sending home an "About My Day" paper in your child's pocket. Please be sure to check your child's pocket daily. This is to give you a more specific, personalized, and confidential account of your child's day. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us anytime.
Please do not send sippy cups to school. We are trying to teach your child independence by drinking from a regular cup.
If your child is potty training, please check to make sure he/she has enough extra clothes and shoes in their cubby.
As the weather is still cooler, please be sure that your child brings a jacket with their name printed inside.
