March


Greetings Everyone,

What a fun month February was! We had a wonderful time in our Post Office unit writing letters to our loved ones and learning about the postal service. The preschoolers found it especially entertaining to peel and stick stamps to everything. Our Valentine unit was a blast. The Valentine’s Day tea party was a success and everyone enjoyed spending time with their loved ones. (Some even got a kiss in the kissing booth.)  Everyone had fun in our History unit learning about Presidents, money, and the American Flag. We ended the month with a unit on Art Appreciation where the preschoolers got to exercise one of their favorite strengths: creativity.

March comes to us with many exciting new units and activities. We kick off the month with a Dr. Seuss theme, followed by a unit we call “Healthy Me”. During the Healthy Me unit the preschoolers will explore the many ways we keep our bodies healthy; from eating right, to brushing our teeth, to exercising, and even getting enough sleep. We will be having a visit with the Whole Foods Coop during this unit which will be an exciting opportunity to explore many healthy foods. This particular unit would also be an excellent time to have a visit from some of you! I know there are many healthy family members and role models here in our CCP community, so please talk with one of the teachers if you have anything to share and contribute to this unit (i.e. marathon medals, healthy food recipes, exercise routines, etc). We will be closing the month with a unit on Easter where we will spend some time talking about the newness of life. Please remember that CCP will be closed for Easter Friday, March 29th through Monday, April 1st.

We want to thank all the parents, friends, and family members who help out from time-to-time. It is especially nice having helpers come in at lunch time, read to the children during the day, and help out around the school. Please know you are always welcome at CCP!
Sincerely,
Miss Jakki

February News


Greetings Families,

We want to give a big thank you to all the help and effort everybody contributed to the CCP Play Night; it was a huge success! The costumes turned out wonderful, the singing was great, and the kids put in a lot of hard work! Good job everyone!!!
It’s hard to believe it’s February already; but along with February comes a lot of fun. CCP will be hosting a Valentine’s Tea Party on Thursday, February 14th. This is a fun little party we have where the preschoolers can invite relatives, friends, and loved ones to celebrate Valentine’s Day together. The party will be from 10:00am-11:30am, and will include a small singing program, Valentine’s Day activities, and some refreshments. Preschoolers will sing on stage at 10:10am and the Valentine activities will follow. Please RSVP for this event to one of the teachers by Monday, February 11th.
Along with the Valentine’s Day Tea Party, the preschoolers will be having a small Valentine’s Day card exchange amongst their small groups. Please have your child bring in ten Valentine cards signed by them (they can be store-bought, or homemade). The cards will be submitted into a Valentine’s Day card lottery so-to-speak where children will pick 10 random cards from a drawing, so please do not attach candy to the cards. If you would like to provide candy treats you certainly may just please have them separate from the cards.
Please remember that we are closed on President’s Day, Monday, February 18th. CCP will be open the rest of that week. We are aware that Public Schools will be on break, so let us know if you are going to be on vacation that week also.
Our themes this month include: Post Office, Valentines, American History, and Art Appreciation. If you have anything to contribute to any of these units, please know you are always welcome!
Everyone’s been doing a great job at remembering outside snow gear, but please remember to return any items that have been borrowed out to your child for outside play. We have a limited number of mittens/hats/snow pants to lend out, and need them to be at school. (We also love clothing donations of any kind!)
Warmest Wishes,
Miss Jakki
