Announcements:  No School Monday this week.  Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  I have started getting calls and e-mails about next year's preschool.  If your 3 or 4 year old child who is already enrolled in preschool now is interested in preschool for next year, you would not need to fill out new registration forms and pay the registration fee, (I only charge this to new students)  just let me know what class would work for you.  I am keeping the 3-4 year old classes on Monday and Wednesday and the 4-5 year old class on Tuesday and Thursday.  But depending on registration numbers I may add a new class. If you know friends or family looking for a preschool, I would love your recommendation.  

Home Project/Challenge:  Bundle up and go outside this week.  In the winter it’s hard to get outside and play so find an excuse to do something fun outside this week like:  Make a snowman, make snow angels, Color snow with water bottles/spray bottles filled with colored water, Just jump around and stomp making footprints in the snow.  You can make letters or pictures with your footprints.  If they are covered up good and warm they will have a good experience and when they get cold it’s time to head in then they will want to do it again and again.
