Foley's Pre-Kindergarten News

Please check web page weekly.  In order to save paper we are encouraged to 
have news on the web rather than sent home.  If you do not check the web you 
may be missing some news.

Will the groundhog see his shadow?  Will we have a winter at all this year??
We are not getting out here at school to move and get excersise.  Please be 
sure you get yourself and your child out and moving every day. Getting 
outside for fresh air and excersise keeps us all happier and healthier.

Ask your child about our Audubon visit last week.  We learned all about 
mammals.  They learned 3 facts.:  
All mammals have: 
1. Bones
2. Fur
3. Feed their babies milk.

                 
Valentine’s Day
We will celebrate Valentine’s Day on Tuesday, February 14.  I would encourage 
you to start making Valentines now.  Cutting, creating and coloring 
Valentines for classmates is a wonderful way to build many important concepts 
including: Practice writing name, practice cutting, creativity, sense of 
accomplishment and pride in the finished product.  Start early and do one or 
two a day.  Please let me know if you need another class list. Send finished 
cards into school when they are completed. We will finish up holders tomorrow 
and start delivering whenever they are ready.

Mrs. T in the high school will be letting us come down and visit her life 
skills class on Valentine’s Day.  Her students will be helping us make 
homemade pizza for a snack for the day.  You are welcome to send in a fruit 
treat or drink if you wish.  Please let me know if you plan on doing so.  
Thanks.

Report Cards for pre-k students will be coming home on Friday, February 
10th.  

2/2 Happy Birthday Manny
2/3 Happy Birthday Jacob
2/5 Happy Birthday Piper
2/25 Happy Birthday Adeline and Curtis
2/20-2/25 No school- Mid Winter Break 

FYI- We discussed not sitting in front of the TV, computer and video games 
all break.  A few children seemed to have a hard time with this idea.  We 
talked about one show a day and one movie a week was more than enough.  Our 
class will come up with a list of other activities to do other than screen 
time to send home before break.  Give your child some ideas to add to the 
list. 

Boxes of tissues are needed please.
