Announcements: FYI: Some of things we create we will not bring them home because I am collecting a few things to put in a packet to give them at Preschool Graduation. This will be a fun thing to have as a memory of preschool and I will print off a few pictures to put in their as well. This week we are making Self Portraits and I will be keeping them to put in their year end memory book.
Flu and Cold Season is hitting. If you child is running a fever, has been throwing up within 24 hours of preschool, or has a green runny nose please keep them home so we don’t spread the sickness. My kids may get sick and if this happens I will provide a separate place for them to be during preschool and still have preschool. If I get the flu I will contact you and cancel preschool. I haven’t had to do this before so lets hope I can stay healthy!
Homework Challenge: I have been working with our students on correct pencil grip. This is a challenge for many of the students. If they are reinforced at home to hold their pencil, crayon, marker or whatever correctly then I know the habit will be made correctly. The middle finger and thumb form a vise for holding the pencil. The index, or pointing, finger rests between the middle finger and the thumb. Fingers need to be close to the point of the pencil. All knuckles, including the thumb, should be bent and the fingers and thumb rounded to the same degree.
Did you know we are on Facebook? I share something each week from our classes. Share with your friends how much you like Music Train Preschool by “liking” us and sharing it on your homepage! Thanks in advance for spreading the word, it’s the best complement I get when I get a referral from past students. Follow the link for our facebook page.
