CHILDREN’S CHATTER
Dear Parents:
It has been almost six months since school began and so much has changed for our little ones. It seems as though each and every minute brings a new accomplishment for them. I hope you had the pleasure of witnessing your little one’s thrill when looking at his or her Valentines cards from their friends. The noise level in the building escalated with their delight – once again they show us the simple pleasures!
I want to thank you again for all the items you sent in for the carnival baskets; once again your help made our basket raffle successful.
This month is a very busy month: Carnival, Mom’s and Dad’s Night Picture Day. Spring is on the way, at least daylight saving time comes March 11th and it will be lighter longer and bring in warm air!
Mrs. Rieman
Please make sure your child uses the bathroom before they enter the classroom.
Don’t forget to wash your hands beforeentering the classroom.
Dress for the weather – sometimes we go outside even if it is cold. Please wear hats and mittens or gloves.
Continue to bring in those healthy snacks.
Please make sure your child eats breakfast or lunch before coming to school. Some children are telling us they are hungry when they enter the classroom.
Don’t forget to mark down your helper days on your calendar! If you cannot make a day you are scheduled, please make arrangements with another parent in your child’s class. Please update the work schedule outside the classroom door. We really need your help in the classroom – so please don’t miss your day.
TUITION: Tuition payments are due now. Only one payment left after this!
