This month we will be learning about the letters E and F and the color white. We are also excited to celebrate two birthdays this month—Mekhi is turning 1 and Landon is turning 2! 

We hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday. Thank you for your patience and support as we all adjust to our new scheduling. We’re looking forward to another wonderful year in Room 1!

This month will be filled with lots of winter fun. We celebrate three of our friends birthdays this month--Donovan on Jan, 2nd, Damian on Jan. 7th, and Alivia on Jan. 25th. Please be sure to send in winter appropriate changes of clothing for your child as well as coats, hats/scarves, boots, etc. for outdoor play. We're looking forward to a wonderful 2015!

Please be sure to send in mittens, hats, gloves, scarves, etc. on a daily basis. We will continue to be going outside. In addition, please be sure that your child has two complete changes of winter-appropriate clothing in their cubby. 

Kindergarten is back in full swing and we have been busy in class. Check back to see all of the exciting new things we’re learning about in the new year! This month Kindergarten will begin having Show & Tell. Look for a letter in your child’s mailbox with which day they are to bring something in to show the class (either Jan. 14th or 15th).

Room 9


We are welcoming 2015 with bug smiles and open arms! With the new year, we have also had a few new additions to the Room 9 family (friends who have moved up from Room 5) that have fit right in! We are continuing to explore our numbers, letters, shapes, colors, and also the exciting world around us! Look forward to all of the “cool” projects that will make their way home throughout this month.

Lastly, with January comes the winter chill, so please make sure that your child had the appropriate outerwear to keep warm because we would like to get the children outside whenever we can! Cabin Fever is no fun :-( That being said, when it snows, we would LOVE to be able to let the children explore and play in the snow, so if you would like your child to be included in snow day play, please send in all of the appropriate snow clothing—coats, snow pants, hats, gloves, boots, etc. Thank you!

The month of December was an eventful one. Singing at Bright View Senior Center was so much fun, and everyone loved our visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus! In December, Pre-K focused on making beautiful Christmas crafts and presents for our families and the residents at Bright View. We also celebrated Jaliyah’s 5th birthday on Dec. 4th! 

As we enter the new year, there are some changes happening in Pre-K. Ms. Jenn H. will be taking over as the Pre-K teacher. Her dedication, creativity, and experience will be the perfect fit to replace me. Your children will learn so much from her! 

Thank you for your understanding through this transition. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and has a happy new year! 

Sincerely, 
Ms. Melissa
