Preschool Families
Welcome back from break. I hope everyone had a restful week and that
everyone comes back healthy. Our theme
for March and April will be fairy tales – The first short week back we will get
the children back into a routine.
Talking about classroom rules and expectations. To get us started we will read Jack and the
Beanstalk and The Little Red Hen stories.
The next two weeks we will read Three Billy Goats Gruff followed up by
two weeks of Three Little Pigs, one week of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and
