We welcomed Mrs. Jamie Schutt to our classroom this week! “Miss Jamie” is doing her practicum this semester, and will be in our classroom Mon., Tues., and Wed. each week. I am very excited to have this young lady with us, as she is finishing up her early childhood education studies. She is already eager to bring in some new and exciting ideas, and she will be helping students individually and also as a group. If you haven’t had a chance to introduce yourself yet, please say “hi” when you see her! Your child recently brought home an order form for t-shirts and hoodies. If you would like to order, please write “child” or “adult” under the size. This month we will be working on phone numbers. On the bottom of this newsletter, please write one phone number that you would like your child to learn. If your child already knows their phone number, you could write a second number you’d like for them to learn (specify who it is), or we can just work on reinforcing the number they already know. March 25 is RIF Day!! “RIF” stands for “Reading is Fundamental”. We will be joining with the rest of the student body from 10:00-10:45. The preschoolers will be pairing up with some of the older students who will read with them. There will also be a time of independent reading. To make this day even more special, we are having “pajama day” on that day also! The children may wear their pajamas to school and bring a small pillow and/or small blanket if they wish. Mark your calendars!! What we are working on in class: Bible: We are we are finishing up the miracles of Jesus and will begin the Easter story. Handwriting: “Cc” and printing their name correctly Phonics: Children are working in small groups - some reading, others reinforcing letter sound and recognition. Math: We are finishing up our unit on shapes and will begin a unit on measurement. Science: We will be learning about weather this month Art: Easter projects

The children were so excited about “Kindergarten for a Day”!! I’m typing this before they actually spend the time with Mrs. Wagner, but I just know they’re going to have a great time. I hope you are planning on enrolling your child here for kindergarten next year so they can continue working on the foundation that is being established. A few of the many benefits of keeping your child at OCS are: a solid Christian foundation, a smaller class with more individualized instruction, keeping the children together as a group that knows each other and works well together, and a continuance of Zoo Phonics, handwriting, and math. If you have not yet turned in your “Parent recommitment letter” or “Preschool schedule questionnaire”, please return these as soon as possible. Next week Tuesday is the Open House from 6:30 - 8:00 PM. At this time you will be able to visit the kindergarten classroom and have more time to talk to Mrs. Wagner and ask any questions you may have. Even if you are undecided about next year, please come to Open House to get a peek at the kindergarten program. Also, please spread the word about the Open House to preschool parents at your church or in your neighborhood! If you know anyone with children who are at the age to enter K3, K4, or Kindergarten, please let them know about the Open House. Thanks!! Our field trip on the 25th will be a trip to BC Pizza!! The children will see how pizza is made, and they will get to make their own pizza! While their pizzas are baking, the children will get to play in the play land. More details, plus the permission slip will be sent home next week. |
