Welcome to our New Year!


Welcome to the Dinofours class blog!!

Welcome to all our new parents. We are so excited to have you and your child join our School Family. We can't wait to get to know you and work with you. This blog is designed to be a resource for you so you can find info at home even if you lost the note we gave you at school or *gasp* forgot to read the white board. Not that any of us would ever do that.......;)

I will post upcoming events and notices. I will also post pictures starting in September once I have made certain everyone knows about the blog. If you have a reason why your childs picture should not be posted please let me know ASAP.

I hope everyone has gotten a new Parent Packet from us. If we missed you then please let us know and we will get you one. I will also be putting out a newsletter soon to inform you more about some of the fun ways we try to involve you in your child's preschool life.

Here is a basic run down of our Preschool time schedule.

9:30 Circle time- a group time where we gather everyone to read, sing, tell stories and learn.
10:00 Outside time- when it gets colder we will have an indoor activity time
10:30-11:30 Center time- Teachers set out centers and children have an hour to explore and learn. Teachers get down and facilitate learning but do not lead here. This is a time that they really get to make choices and grow.
11:30 Music or singing time
12:00 Lunch

This is our schedule 5 days a week. Monday we introduce the 2 letters of the week. Tuesday we focus on the first letter, Wednesday the 2nd letter. Thursdays are usually Magic Treehouse adventure days. We will have a Sharing Circle time on Fridays where children may share the thing they brought from home that starts with the letter of the week. We will also do centers that day. Fridays will host Food Projects as one of the centers and also a "Movie Nap" time.

This blog is meant to be a resource for you. Feel free to follow it and leave comments. If you think of something that you would like me to post about just let me know and I will see what I can do. My computer skills aren't super great but I will do my best.

We have had such a great summer. Now back to our School Readiness Curriculum.
So excited to be partners with you in your child's education and learning
