Because there was no school today for Presidents' Day, we will have after-school tutoring tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb. 17 and Thursday, Feb. 19 for this week. Thanks Mrs. Boshears
Ms. Paige and Ms. Jenna are Dental Hygienists who visited our kindergarten classes on Thursday to teach about good dental hygiene. They were so energetic and enthusiastic about dental health! Our boys and girls in kindergarten LOVED their visit (and the new toothbrushes they brought us).

We know sending your little one to school is a big step. But did you know that attending PreK is the single biggest predictor of Kindergarten readiness in our district?
We recently reviewed the benchmark scores for our current Kindergartners to assess the impact of our program. The results are incredible! Compared to students who didn't attend PreK, our PreK grads:
✅ Knew 63% more letter sounds on the first day of Kindergarten.
✅ Were reading words 38% faster by Winter.
✅ Are significantly more likely to be "Low Risk" and on track for success.
Let's get them ready to read, learn, and grow!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS:
🗓 PreK Pre-Registration Day
When: Thursday, April 24th

🌟 High Quality Learning & Life Lessons
Not only do our PreK teachers follow a high-quality curriculum, but they also use their creative minds to teach important life lessons! ✨
During a transition time, Ms. Jenna and Ms. Chrissy focused on a truly important skill: kindness. For a meaningful lesson in friendship, students practiced giving a compliment or saying something kind to a friend before passing them the ball. It was beautiful to watch their focus and generosity!
Thank you, Ms. Jenna, for this great idea!
💡 Bringing the Kindness Home: Parent Pointers
Want to reinforce this skill at home? Here are a few quick tips:
**The Dinner Compliment Game:** At the dinner table, have each family member say one kind thing about another person at the table.
**Kindness Spotting:** Ask your child, "What's the kindest thing you saw someone do today?" This helps them notice and value positive actions.
**"I Can Help" Moments:** Give your child small, specific jobs to help a family member (e.g., "Can you please help your sister pick up her toys?" or "Can you help me set the table?"). This builds a habit of helpfulness and generosity.

Mrs. Kala's Kindergarten Class met their attendance goal today! As a reward, her students were allowed to bring their favorite stuffie to school. We are learning that great attendance is a direct correlation to great learning! Way to go Mrs. Kala's class.

🤩 Shoutout to Ms. Chrissy & Ms. Jenna's Pre-K Class! 🐑
Look at these adorable learners helping Little Bo Peep find her lost sheep! This week, the class mixed nursery rhyme fun with a fantastic shaving cream sensory activity. It's wonderful to see the kids learning through play—exploring textures, engaging their imaginations, and strengthening those fine motor skills all at once!
Keep up the great work, everyone! We are so proud of you! ❤️
Parent Tips for Rhyme Time at Home 🏠
Want to keep the nursery rhyme excitement going? Here are a few quick tips for parents to encourage literacy, memory, and language skills at home:
Make it Active: Don't just recite—act it out! For "Jack and Jill," pretend to fall down. For "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," grab a partner and "row" while sitting on the floor. Movement helps little ones remember and understand the words.
Get Silly with Art: After reciting a rhyme, have your child draw a picture of the characters. It doesn't have to be perfect—the focus is on recalling the details. You can even use finger paint or playdough to make it another fun sensory experience!
Create a Rhyme Book: Print out the words to a few favorite nursery rhymes. Staple them together and let your child decorate the cover. Point to the words as you read, showing them how printed text matches the sounds you are saying, which is an important step toward reading readiness.
