Dear Families,
Welcome to Preschool, we are so happy to welcome you and your children to Alcott School. We are looking forward to working with you and your children and we have an exciting year planned ahead for everyone. We are going to have a great time singing songs, reading stories, making projects, and learning so many wonderful new things together. It’s going to be a great year!
The children have been doing a great job learning our daily routine, and our class rules that
apply both inside and outside of the classroom. The materials in the classroom are for different levels of development. One of our most important lessons of the year was teaching the students how to properly wash their hands and cough into their elbows.
The children are working on our first project which is a paper bag community. The community consists of the following: school, supermarket, hospital, pizza shop, fire station and post office. We discussed the different types of building and places in our community. The children are very excited to complete their community.
