WE HAVE A NEED for paper towels…anyone able to
bring in a roll, would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
METRO MAN WAS HERE!! This past Friday, we
were visited by Metro Man! This is a free program provided to the
schools by Metro North Railroad to educate our children about third rail
safety. Metro Man, a remote controlled robot (resembling R2D2)
arrives, accompanied by Mr. Joe, who shows the children a video about
railroad safety. After the video, Metro Man “wakes up” and
interacts with the children, asking them key questions relating to the
video. Everyone had a great time and learned a lot about railroad
safety!
WE HAVE A MUSICIAN!! Perhaps you have heard
your children talking about “Miss Kim.” Please allow me to
formally introduce Kim Papa! She lives in Brewster, and has been
singing songs and playing the guitar with us since January. She has
been singing with preschool children since 1986, when she was employed at
Ridge Country School in Rye Brook. She is still there, and hopes
your children come home singing!! You can meet Kim on Wednesday
mornings and afternoons…come on in and have some fun!
OUR ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE
was a huge success! We paraded around our school, and since we had
such a beautiful day, we extended our celebration down Main St.! We
were quite a sight and sound with our hats and “hand made”
instruments! Thanks for all who helped march with us!!
The Teddy Bears are working on learning sight words. We have already
introduced the following words: a, it, and, of, the. We also
continue working on our phone #’s, addresses and birthdays! Thanks
to you all for helping to reinforce these important concepts.
The Critters will be exploring the new spring season, while incorporating
nursery rhymes/fairy tales, and finishing up their senses unit.
SPRING IS OFFICIALLY HERE and everyone
is eagerly anticipating the nice, warm weather! The children
are getting a bit rambunctious and restless --- helping parents beware!!
Please remember that the teachers greatly appreciate having a second pair
of eyes and ears. If you see trouble coming, please try to intervene
BEFORE it actually occurs. Don’t hesitate to sit a child down or
tell the teacher if they get “out of hand.” We really cannot
watch all the children alone, although we do try!!
REMINDER – Please remember that when it is your helping day to arrive by
9:10 AM or 12:20 PM…parents count on you to be outside to help with the
drop off system.
Also, please note that school begins @ 9:15 and 12:30. Please do not
drop your child before 9:10 or 12:25. Thank you for your
understanding!
