This Week at Preschool

Well, it was an exciting week at Pine Grove Preschool! On Monday we got some awesome new playground equipment from the Aguilera family and the kids are just having a blast on it! (You may have noticed that they prefer to play outside instead of heading with you to the car a little more than usual when you pick them up!) Thank you Hank and Veronica!

We had a lot of snow on Tuesday, but PUSD didn't cancel school, so we had a lot of wet clothes and cold feet at the preschool! Try to send your precious ones to school in appropriate winter shoes and clothing on days like that, because we do still take them outside for sunshine and fresh air, even when there's snow on the ground, unless it is actually snowing.

Wednesday was Leap Day! We had fun talking about what that means and playing some leaping games! As we began our study of letter T, Mrs. Adams and her class got to finish each day by building a tent city in her classroom! How FUN!!!

Things took a turn today as we had several students out sick and even poor Mrs. Prettyman was home with a tummy bug! Keep a close eye on your children because this bug is sneaky. The early symptoms are tiredness and diarrhea, but not necessarily a fever. We did have a student throw up at school, too. Just try to use caution bringing your kids to school if you think they are coming down with it, because it seems to be pretty contagious. We are keeping things very sanitized here, and we appreciate your vigilance!

This week is also Dr. Seuss' birthday! The Hyland family brought in a fun snack to celebrate in Mrs. Eis' class. Next week, Mrs. Adams' class will be doing an entire unit of Dr. Seuss with Ms. Tasha, while Mrs. Adams is out of town. I know there are a few other Dr. Seuss celebrations this weekend around town, so try to get involved in some of that fun with your child. Dr. Seuss is a magical part of childhood (ours as well as their's!) and can be a fun bridge between the generations.

One last thing this week was our early enrollment for next fall. If you haven't gotten your enrollment forms returned, do so as soon as possible and remember to include the Registration fee in order to secure your spot. We are so excited that so many of you are returning for another year at Pine Grove Preschool. It already feels like home to our big, happy family!

Have a great weekend!
