Hello Parents/Guardians!
The
staff and children of Blue Room are looking forward to an exciting school
year. Now that we are entering the month
of October you may have noticed many changes since the summer.
We have said goodbye to a few teachers and some Blue
Room friends. But we are happy to extend
a hello and welcome to our NEW friends Arianna, Adam, Elizabeth, Isaiah,
Ms.
Colleen, Ms. Michelle, and the children have also given a warm welcome to Ms.
Audrey who joined the Blue Room staff in September after having worked with the
Red Room for a year. The Blue Room staff
have worked together to create a friendly and comfortable environment for all of
the children.
Attached to this newsletter you will
find our daily schedule. Please
familiarize yourself with your child’s day.
This will not only help you understand what your child does during a day
at school but it can also serve as a guide when asking your child about his/her
day.
We
ask that you please have your child in
school no later than
*Children
dropped off after
At drop-off time/pick-up time, it is
important that you sign your child in/out.
This is a vital part of keeping track of the children in the
classroom. You can find the sign-in/sign-out
clipboard on the table to your right when you enter the classroom. Please ask a teacher for assistance if you
need it. It is your responsibility to
ensure your child is safely in the classroom and signed in before you leave him/her for the day!
With all of these new changes comes
the Fall and Winter seasons with COLD weather.
In addition to keeping a change of clothes (shirt, pants, underwear, and
socks) in your child’s cubby, please be sure to leave a sweater or sweatshirt. When any of these items are sent home soiled
it is important that a clean change be sent to school with your child the next
day!
Inside
the classroom, we have a “naptime” area where your child’s mat and naptime
cubby are located. Please bring in a
blanket and small pillow to be stored in this cubby. Some children also find it soothing to have a
favorite stuffed animal to sleep with.
Articles in the naptime cubby should be brought home on Fridays to be
laundered and returned to the cubby the following Monday at drop-off.
For the next couple of months we will
be working on a unit about HOME.
Students will explore this theme through the various centers. We will be working on a big project which
will involve creating individual posters of each child’s family. Please have your child bring in 4-5 pictures
of him/herself and family members within 2 weeks.
If you have any questions regarding
this newsletter and schedule (or anything else), please feel free to ask the
teachers.
We work hard to
foster a positive relationship between parents/guardians and teachers.
Thank You for your support!
