I hope you all are staying warm and getting ready for some snow!
January was a busy month for Pre-K 3. Since coming back from Christmas break, we have talked about the color blue and the letters Kk, Ll, Mm and Nn. In addition, we have also been talking about the winter season and arctic animals (penguins, polar bears, etc). The children have enjoyed the crafts we have made this month including a 3D penguin, Snowmen at Night and our letter crafts. To celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Day, we read "The Crayon Box That Talked" and the children painted their hands using all the colors of the rainbow. They also had the chance to paint using watercolors, which they really enjoyed. I have included a few pictures of them painting below.
Please be sure to return the letter M treasure bags to school on Tuesday. Scholastic book flyers were sent home today. Please place your order online or send your order into school by Tuesday, February 9th. If ordering online, our class code is W6V2B. The link for Scholastic will be posted on Google Classroom as well.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Please be safe and stay warm!
God bless,
Mrs. Botts

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a nice and relaxing Christmas break. Thank you all for the thoughtful and generous gifts. Mrs. DePasquale and I appreciate your kindness very much. We pray that 2021 is a year of many blessings for you and your families.
We were very busy our first week back to school. On Tuesday, we started talking about our new letters Kk and Ll and the color blue. We also learned about the Epiphany and made Three King crowns. On Thursday, we read "Snowmen at Night" and made our own snowmen. The children all thought of something their snowman did at night and then shared their idea with the class. They really enjoyed sharing their ideas with the class!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday.

It's hard to believe it is already the fourth week of Advent! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the snow day on Thursday.
We have been very busy in Pre-K. We talked about the letters Gg, Hh, Ii and Jj and the color green. We also have spent the month of December talking about Advent and Christmas. The children made holly wreaths and Santa's hats.
This Tuesday, December 21st is our last class session before Christmas break. Our break starts Thursday, December 14th and school resumes on Tuesday, January 5th. **Please note this is a change from our original calendar.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Please know that I am keeping you and your families in my prayers this Christmas season.
