Valentine's Day Parties
We are having Valentine’s Day parties on Wednesday, February 10 and
Thursday, February 11, 2016. All classes will be exchanging Valentines.
Please write your child’s name on their Valentine in the “from” section. Please
leave the “to” section empty (this will make it easier for the students to pass
them out.) Please make sure you include enough Valentines for each student
in the class. We will be serving "we love strawberry ice cream cones".
Class sizes:
ABC A.M.: 17 students
ABC P.M.: 17 students
Adventures in Learning: 16 students

Odds & Ends

February is Heart Health, National Low Vision & Dental Awareness
Month! This is a good time to focus on the health of our children; early
intervention is key. If you’ve noticed your child experiencing problems
seeing, hearing, or with speech, please take the time to contact your
primary care physician or school district to discuss having your child
tested.

With cold and flu season upon us. Please keep your child home if he/
she is ill.

For our students safety only instructors and registered students are
permitted in the classroom. This is a mandate of the Arizona Department
of Health & Human Services.

Please take your child to the restroom before class. For the safety
of the children, we are unable to open the potty door until all the children
have arrived and we have taken attendance.

Please continue working with your child at home. The classroom
learning reinforced by parent involvement builds a strong team to enrich
your preschooler’s early childhood education.

The “Dentist’s Song”
Research shows that brushing for two minutes is the
single most important method for reducing plaque and
preventing cavities, gingivitis and other plaque-related
diseases.
Brushing for two minutes twice a day is
crucial to maintaining healthy smiles.
Proper brushing technique cleans
teeth and gums effectively.
Learn more about how to
brush your way to a healthier
smile and mouth.
