A look back

We have already had several school delays and closings. Remember if Piqua City Schools close there will be NO preschool. (Daycare will be open) If Piqua City Schools are on a delay we will operate preschool at normal times. Please use your own discretion when venturing out.
Be safe.

WEATHER

Grade cards will be coming out mid March. I will be looking forward to having a conference with any parent who is interested in taking a sneak peak at your child’s progress. I have created a portfolio for you to keep at the end of the year.
If you are interested in a conference please let me know by March 6th.

Did you know…..?
Children learn from their environment. They learn by relating words and/or experiences to what surrounds them. A great way to expand this learning is to bring to their attention print in their environment. This can be done as simply as seeing a McDonalds sign and identifying the letter M. Walking through a grocery store and allowing your child to cross off the items on your list or even identifying cereal by their names on the boxes.
I love the idea of taking the front of a cereal box and cutting it into five or six pieces to create a puzzle which your child can complete many times. This is a very inexpensive way to create learning experiences at home.
If you are interested in any other ideas to expand your child’s learning at home please let me know. I have created different take home bags or projects that can be easily shared.
