Announcements: FYI: Our art projects this week will be saved here for our end of the year binder. We have been collecting these throughout the year it will be nice for them to have a memento to help them remember preschool and what they did. Thursday March 1st (this week) we will be having a short day. Preschool will go from 9:00- 10:30 am. I would like to get March Calendars out next week. Our computer with most of my preschool information is being fixed right now so if we can get it running I will hopefully have those out soon. Next week is Show and Tell. We will be talking about Families next week so I would like them to bring something that represents their family. It could be a favorite activity you do together, a picture of your family, or anything else that would represent their family.

Homework Challenge: I have noticed some of the children are struggling with identifying ABC’s so this week I thought it would be good for families to do something at home this week with letters. (Here is a few ideas) If you have suggestions of something you have done please share it by replying on the e-mail or posting a comment on the blog. Thanks!
1. One fun game you can do at home is to play the alphabet game while you are eating breakfast with the cereal boxes, or while you are reading a book. It’s hard to do this in the car because you can’t be sure your child actually saw it.
2. Get out your ABC puzzles, blocks, magnets, any toys that emphasis letters and play with your child and help identify letters with them
3. One fun game is the alphabet word game where you find a word in a magazine or newspaper starting with every letter in the alphabet. You could even cut it out and paste it on a paper. If you do this I would love to see it, have them bring it to school to show their class mates.
