Happy February!

What a crazy week it has been in preschool. We have had a lot of preschoolers and teachers out sick with various versions of the flu or head cold. Hopefully everyone is on the mend and we will all be back next week happy, healthy, and ready to learn!

**Reminder that students need to be fever and medicine free for 24hrs before returning to school. Also, if your student can not participate fully in the daily routine, they are not well enough to be in school.**
Thank you!

 



To spice up the week, we had some fun balls and ramps and color mixing in Mrs. Nichols room, and construction and musical instruments in Mrs. L's room. It has been to cold for the preschoolers to venture outside, but we have stayed busy and warm building and making lovely music. We have also been very lucky to have some fun gym time as well. We do obstacle courses, ride bikes/scooters, and roll & tumble on mats!


Valentine's are starting to make an appearance!!



**Important Reminders**

-February Break is the week of the 18th.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and GO PATS!!

Southworth Park We've taken advantage of the beautiful weather that we've had over the past couple of Tuesdays and have hiked to Southworth Park for fun and adventures.  Ms. Beth, our outdoor educator, has built a fire with the kids, and we've made popcorn and hot chocolate. The kids have enjoyed digging in the dirt, finding worms, building fairy houses, playing tag and so much more.  It's always enjoyable to read books and eat snack up there too. A few of the second graders even joined us one day.
