Pre-K Family Newsletter             November 8, 2012

Dear Families,

We have begun our change into the Restaurant theme (lasting for the next 6 weeks or so.) Our science center is transforming into Subway, blocks center into the Farmer’s Market, math into Dot’s Ice Cream Shop, dramatic play into The Cabin Pizza, literacy into Applebee’s and the art center into Dunkin’ Donuts. If you have props that would support play in these centers (un-used pizza boxes, coffee cups, paper bags with these logos), we would welcome contributions. The kids (and adults) are quite excited about this new theme!
Wednesday, November 14th, pre-k is scheduled to attend our school book fair. Through the generosity of Dike Newell’s PTA, each student will get a free book, and they have an opportunity to buy a book as well.
Our class will be practicing a brief lockdown drill within the next week. We’ll have a pretend announcement and proceed to our corner center. Our goal is to sit quietly, out of view of doors and windows, for 5 minutes, with a brief discussion of the procedure.
Tuesday, November 20th, is our day scheduled for pre-k parent conferences. A sign-up sheet is in class now. We can make other time accommodations, if necessary.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Bridgman and Mrs. Peavey
