College Heights Preschool March 2015 Newsletter Welcome back! We hope that everyone had a wonderful Spring Break and that you were able to take in some of the wonderful sporting events that our city had to offer during the Winter Games. March will start us off with a very loud and busy Dinosaur week The children will be learning interesting facts as well as some new vocabulary such as “extinct, paleontologist” and a variety of dino names. We hopefully will be successful with the 4 year old classes building and exploding paper mache volcanoes This month we will introduce the children to some familiar and not so familiar Nursery Rhymes, using a variety of words creating patterns, rhymes and some very silly songs. The children will able to understand what the word “rhyme” is and we will create ways for them to come up with some rhyming words of their own! Our “Happiness Project” that was started last year was very successful in the 4 year classes. We saw a lot of positive words during play, an increase in awareness of the feelings of others and an overall decrease in conflict resolution. The Happiness Project will be introduced again this year to the 4 year old classes so stay tuned for “hearts” to be sent home with noted random acts of kindness from your child. The three day a week 4 year class ended the project by making their own buckets to take home and continue “filling buckets”. IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER: CLASS PICTURES W.D. West Studios will be coming to the Preschool Wednesday April 8th & Thursday April 9th to take class pictures. There will be information package sent home the end of March. The cost is $12.00 for a class picture as well as an individual 3/1/2 X 51/2 picture.
