Have a Wonderful Weekend!

Ms. Frenzel is out sick today, but all our Pre-K teachers hope you have a great weekend! Show and Tell will resume Monday and there is no other homework for the weekend!

Just a reminder: We will be closed on Thanksgiving and Black Friday

Thank You Parents!

The Pre-K class had an amazing time today and really loved seeing all the Disney characters perform on the ice! A very special thank you goes out to Yasemin, Lucas, and Gianni's mom's for taking the time to chaperone our field trip in such short notice! You moms were awesome and made our experience at the Prudential Center so much more fun.

Show and Tell will resume on Monday  for the letter Gg. 

Thank You!!!!

New Week and Lesson Plan Update

Happy Monday to you all. Here is the updated Lesson Plan for this Week!

Happy Friday Everyone!

It's Friday! We hope you all had an excellent week, and wish you a happy and safe weekend. 

There is no homework, but encourage all Pre-k students to continue their acts of kindness around the house.

Happy Thursday!

Thank you all for the wonderful Show and Tell contributions today! We had a great time talking about the letter F, making F phonemic sounds, and getting our stickers for our sticket charts.

Please don't forget to sign up for our Disney on Ice trip -- and if you do not plan on attending this month's trip, please see Ms. Frenzel so I can update our class trip roster.

Pizza Day Tomorrow

Tomorrow is Show and Tell letter Ff. Please bring in something that begins with the letter Ff to share with the class. Some great examples we came up with today were: frog, fish, fairy, fire truck, frame, face mask, faces, frankfurters, friendship bracelets, and friends.

Tomorrow is Pizza Day Thursday! And once again, please see the main office to sign up for our field trip to Disney on Ice.

Happy Tuesday!

No homework tonight!

Parents, please sign up for the field trip on Thursday November 19th. We still have plenty of spaces available! If you are not coming on this trip, please let Ms. Frenzel know ASAP.

We had a wonderful Picture Day today with the Jelly Jar Photography studio and thank you all for making sure your students were prepared!

Proofs of the photos today will arrive before the holidays and as always, we will keep you all posted.

Thank You!

Changes to Picture Day

Attention Parents!

• There has been some heavy miscommunication regarding our annual class picture day. I spoke with the office and it has been confirmed by Ms. Nicole our director that picture day for us will be taking place TOMORROW/TUESDAY NOVEMBER 10th. Not Wednesday (or Thursday, even). I have been updating parents personally as soon as I found out and if you have any concerns please see the main office.
• Pictures will begin at 9:45 A.M. so please arrive prior to that time -- there has not been any confirmation as to which class will go first (since we are doing picture day with 2 other younger classes) so to prevent any further confusion I am advising everyone to arrive at this time as to not miss out. 
• Sorry for the confusion -- I am trying to get this information to everyone as soon as possible so I will be sending a blast announcement via Preschool2Me and if you would like to spread the word to other parents -- feel free! Thank you guys!

Thank you for all the wonderful homework submissions! We had a wonderful time talking about all the things we did for our families to show and spread kindness!

New Lesson Plan for the Week 11.9 - 11.13

Please click the image to enlarge it :)

Its Friday!

We hope you all have an awesome weekend and enjoy the unseasonably warm weather! This week we discussed the social/emotional topic of being kind, so we do have a simple home activity for you all to do as a family over the weekend. If you did not attend school today, you can still do the activity at home that we will be discussing on Monday.

Homework over the Weekend:

• Pre-K students: perform 3 acts of kindness at home and record/draw a picture of what you did on the paper I sent home in folders today. Some examples we discussed today were: helping clean up your room, helping mom and dad with your younger siblings, asking your family how their day was, calling family members to say hello/I love you, helping prepare dinner, etc...
• Parents: on the index cards I sent home, write down the 3 acts of kindness done
• * NOTE: If you were not here today, you can draw on any white unlined paper, and parents can write on a separate paper was 3 acts of kindness were  done. I will transfer them on index cards on Monday. * 

Enjoy this activity and we can't wait to hear all about it! The teachers will be participating as well!

Thank You,
Ms. Frenzel

It's Thursday!
