WELCOME! Wesley Preschool and Kindergarten September 2010

September is such an exciting month for the Preschool and Kindergarten. There will be a lot of new faces and new friends. For teachers and children, it's a month of change and new beginnings, new surroundings, new friends, new experiences, new skills and new challenges. This month our children will explore the world of learning and will develop many new basic skills. Everyone should encourage their child to practice and develop these new skills at home. During the coming weeks in the preschool we will begin to: follow directions, read and write our letters, identify community helpers, develop a broader understanding of the world around us, work and play together, count and compute, practice good citizenship, question and experiment. Wow! We're going to be busy.

Please take time to discuss each school day with your child. Ask open-ended questions and offer positive feedback. Review all work brought home and set aside a special place for displaying the work. Your constant interest will play an important part in your child's learning success. A big welcome back to Mrs. Schwenk! Mrs. Schwenk had her plan book ready to teach another year of Kindergarten at Wesley. Unfortunately, we did not have enough students to have a viable class. I offered the 3-4 year class to her and she accepted! Mrs. Brenda will be working as a co-teacher with me in the Pre-K class and I am looking forward to a truly great year!

Important dates to remember:
September 2-Open house from 11:00 until Noon
September 7-School starts at 9:00 a.m. (for K, 5-day, and 2-day)
September 8-School starts at 9:00 a.m. (3-day)
October 11-No school, Columbus Day

I hope you will visit often to share in the growth and excitement-taking place in our school. Don't forget to read, read, and read! Classroom volunteering begins after Oct. 1. We need a month to get to know our classes. Remember doors open at 8:55 a.m. Escort your student to classroom (please do not enter classroom) kiss goodbye at the door and we will see you at 12:00 p.m. sharp! (Late charges will be added for all late pick-ups.)

Blessings,
Darlene Spurlock
