Tuesday, Nov. 6th - Letter I, Number 8

Little Amigos and families,

We had such a fun time at our Halloween party! We read "The Night Before Halloween" by Natasha Wing, decorated (and ate) Halloween cookies, made our own jack-o-lanterns, watched a video, and even got to learn about the letter 'H' for Halloween!!! A very special thank you to Tracy E and Jana B, our parent volunteers for the party. We couldn't have pulled it off without them. Also, thank you to all of you who donated items.

It's hard to believe we're already into November. This coming Tuesday we'll be learning about the letter 'I' and the number 8. For Spanish we'll learn our colors. Please send your child with something for the letter I for show-n-tell.

I have also sent out an electronic copy of October's invoice for your child. Please note that it shows your payment for September which also serves as a receipt. Payments are due November 10th. I will put out the tuition box on the sign-in table on Tuesday. You can place your payment there or give it to me personally.

Finally, we have several pictures from our Halloween party that I'd like to post on the website - http://www.littleamigospreschool.com. Please let me know if I may post pictures of your child on the website or not. I want to respect all our children's privacy.

Thank you for sharing your sweet Amigos with me!

Tuesday, Oct. 23rd - Letter G, Number 7

Dear Little Amigos families,

Thank you once again for your understanding about last week's class cancellation. I realize you all have busy schedules and last minute changes can make logistics harder than they already are. Luckily the fevers are gone and will hopefully stay away :-)

We're going to do letter G and number 7 this week, so please send your child with something relating to 'G' for show-n-tell.

As you all know Halloween is fast approaching which means our class party is coming soon! If you signed up to donate food items, please bring them to class this Tuesday (10/23) or get them to me by Saturday (10/27) at the latest. (Note: If you bring food items to my house when we're not here, please leave them on the front porch.)

We'll see you Tuesday!

Tuesday, Oct. 9th - Letter F, Number 6

I am happy to announce that Brindi will be joining the Little Amigos team as an aide in our preschool class. As many of you know, Brindi is also one of our Little Amigos parents; her daughter Kyla is in our class. I look forward to working with her and know that she will be a great addition. She will start tomorrow 10/9.

Also, I'd like to thank those parents who have volunteered to help with our Halloween party on 10/30. We still need one more volunteer to be in class that day, and I will have a sign up available starting tomorrow for food and other donations to our party. Thank you as well for the snacks donated.

Tomorrow we will be doing the letter F and the number 6. Our book will be "Fast Food" and our Spanish topic is "Yo quiero..." (I want...)

Finally, a quick reminder that if you haven't paid September's tuition yet, payments are due by this Wednesday. You can leave your payment in the box at the sign in table.

Thank you and we'll see you tomorrow!

Tuesday, Oct. 2nd - Letter E, Number 5

Wow! The time is flying. We're already into October and before we know it Halloween will be here. A few reminders for this month:

- Tuition invoices for September were sent out last week. Payment is due by Oct. 10th next Wednesday. If you didn't receive an invoice, please contact me.

- We will continue with our letters and numbers this week - Letter E and Number 5

- Tues., Oct. 30th we will have a Halloween parade during the last 15 minutes of class. Please send your child to class in costume, and we will have a small celebration in class. At 10:45am parents are invited to come and watch our Halloween mini-parade from my house to the park around the corner.

- I would love to have 1 or 2 parent volunteers for the in-class portion of our Halloween celebration. We will do some learning activites, read a story, make a craft and have some spooky snacks.

- We will also need some items donated for the party. I will prepare a sign-up sheet and have it available next week (10/9).

Thank you so much for the support you give to your Little Amigos learners. It's amazing to see their progress in class.

Tuesday Sept. 25 - Letter D, Number 4

Ready for another week? This Tuesday we'll be learning all about the letter D, the number 4 and los colores (colors). Please send your child with something that starts with the letter D for show-n-tell. We're having a great time getting familiar with our letters and numbers!

Also, it is the end of our first month and I will be sending home invoices. At the end of each month I will calculate tuition based on the number of classes your child attended. If you see any discrepancies on your invoice, please let me know. I will also email out invoices to anyone who doesn't receive a paper copy. Payments are due by October 10th!

Muchas gracias,
Miss Kim

Tuesday, Sept. 18th - Letter C, Number 3

This coming Tuesday we will be focusing on the letter 'C' and the number 3. Please remember to send your Little Amigo with an item for show-n-tell that relates to the letter C. It really helps the children understand that many items in their everyday lives start with the letter of the week.

Our book during Circle Time will be "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle and we have a fun video to watch that goes with the book. Finally, our Spanish curriculum continues this week focusing on families and the words we use to talk about our loved ones - mamá, papá, hermano (brother), hermana (sister), bebé (baby), etc.

Thank you for sharing your Little Amigos with me. As always, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.

¡Hasta pronto!
Miss Kim

Tuesday, Sept. 11th - Letter B, Number 2

We had a great first day of preschool! All of the Little Amigos settled in nicely and learned about the days of the week, the letter A, the number 1, and we practiced our Spanish greetings: ¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás?

Our class also picked the Top Banana for the day. Each week a student will be chosen to be the special class leader or Top Banana for the day. They get to sit in the special chair, be at the front of the line, and choose where to sit for snack. At the end of class we did our letter A show-n-tell.

Next Tuesday (9/11) we will learn the letter B, the number 2, and All About Me (Yo Soy...) in Spanish. Remember to send your little one with something for show-n-tell that starts with 'B'.

First Day Postponed

Dear parents,

Due to illness, we have postponed our first day of class to next Tuesday, September 4th. We will be learning the letter A and the number 1. We'll also begin our Spanish with basic greetings.

Every week we will have show-n-tell which will be based on the letter of the week. For next Tuesday, please send your child to class with something that starts with the letter A or somehow relates to the letter A.

Thank you for your support,
Miss Kim

Welcome to Preschool!

Dear Little Amigos Preschool parents and students,

It's a new school year, and we're excited to get to know all of our new Little Amigos.  Just a reminder that Tuesday 8/21 at 9am is our preschool orientation.  We will go over procedures and policies, as well as talk about the curriculum plan for the year.  There are a few forms that will need to be filled out.  The students will get a chance to familiarize themselves with the preschool and will have some activites they can work on.

Classes will begin on Tuesday, Aug. 28th 9:00-11:00am. We'll begin by working on the letter 'A' and the number '1', and will start our Spanish curriculum learning greetings.

Also, if you know of anyone who may be interested, I still have one spot available in the class.  Feel free to pass along this website (www.littleamigospreschool.com) and our contact info.

Looking forward to starting a new year!

Miss Kim
