Thank you all for taking the time to meet with me last week for Pre K Parent /Teacher Conferences! This a huge time in your child’s development and we are working on so many skills in the classroom. Thank you for your support!
Registration for the upcoming school year will opening! There has been great interest in the Pre K Program this year! Very Exciting! There have been tours going on all year for those looking ahead to next year. If you have a younger child and know you plan on sending them to St. Max next year, I suggest you register ASAP! Also, if you know anyone who may be interested, send them over. Registration will be open to all at the same time... not just current St. Max families!
We need to know enrollment so we can plan accordingly!
We are wrapping up our unit on winter and snow this week! We will celebrate on Friday with a pretend “snow day”. Wear you pajamas to school! We will have hot chocolate and donuts! Yummy! We will also have a pretend snow ball fight in the classroom! We will crumple up white paper and toss them around the room! What fun! We will also cozy up as I read “ Llama, Llama Red Pajama “ by Anna Dewdney

Our lessons this week will continue to focus on kind words and including everyone! I will reinforce our lessons from last week on MLK Jr. and how Jesus wants everyone to be included! This theme has and will be a continuing lesson as we learn to work together in the classroom!
