Royal Tea

We had lots of fun at our Royal Tea Party today! Look below to see how cute we are.

Family Potluck

On Friday, February 11th, all the district 4k families are invited to a potluck from 12-2pm at Tri-County Community Center. An invitation is included in your red folder this week. Please return the RSVP portion whether or not you plan on attending so we can get an accurate count. Thank you!

Reminder: No School on Monday, January 24th. We HAVE school on FRIDAY, January 28th.

Outerwear, Snacks, Sculptures & Dressing Up

Please, please, please continue to send ALL of your child’s outerwear. It is very cold out, so even though we aren’t climbing through piles of snow, we still get cold if we don’t have everything we need to bundle up.

Thank you to those families who have brought in snacks!!! If you still haven’t had a chance to bring some in,  next week will be just fine. Please send two days worth of snacks to serve 18 children.

We would like each child to bring in one disposable, plastic container for us to freeze colored water in to make our ice sculpture. This can be an ice cream bucket, cool whip container, margarine tub, old Gladware-type container, etc. Any shape or size will work so long as the “block” of ice can be dumped out of it once frozen.

Don't forget, next Thursday is our Royal Tea Party Dress Up Day!!! Wear your, dresses, crowns, pillowcase armor, capes, etc.

Thank You, Snacks, & Merry Christmas

Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts you so generously brought for our classroom! We got to try some of them out right away after we opened them and the others we will enjoy when we return to school in the new year.  We are VERY excited about all the fun, new things! Thank you again!!!!

We have used up all of our snacks. Please send two day's worth of snacks to serve 18 children when you come back in January. Please don’t feel that you have to send things that are individually packaged, we can easily distribute from larger bags/boxes. Some ideas include: graham crackers, teddy grahams, string cheese, yogurt, fruit cups, applesauce, crackers, pretzels, sausage, granola bars, cereal bars, fresh fruit and chex mix. Please no more animal crackers or goldfish, we seem to have had our fill of these. Also, please no fruit snacks. Their primary ingredient is sugar so state nutritional regulations prevent us from serving them as a snack.

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas! (or Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, depending on what holidays your family celebrates) Stay safe and we will see you in the New Year for more fun!!!
