September 2012
Dear Parents,
Hello! Welcome to what I hope to be an exciting, fun-filled school year! My name is Ana Fernandez and I will be your child’s Pre-K teacher. Your child will take home a monthly newsletter, just like this one, which will inform you about what is going on in school for the month. For the month of September, our theme is “All About Me”. We will also focus on getting used to the school setting.
This Month’s Theme
During the “All About Me” theme, your child will be introducing himself/herself to his/her classmates. We will also discuss our feelings and how we can express them. For both themes, our class will be exposed to related-literature of each theme. Parents are welcome to share any books with the class. Also, parents are always invited to come in and join us with the day's activities.
School Closings
Please keep in mind that school will be CLOSED on Septembet 29th-30th in observance of Rosh Hashanah.
