Preschool Parent Orientation 2012-2013

Dear Preschool Family,

We hope that you are enjoying these beautiful days of summer!  Before you know it, we will be back to school! 

We are very pleased that your child will be attending the early childhood program for three-year olds (Tuesday / Thursday mornings) at DeSales Catholic School.

You are invited to join us for a PARENT ONLY informational meeting on Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 7 p.m.

We will talk about school policy, important dates, expectations for the school year, school supplies, and answer any questions or concerns you may have.  We will also get the chance to check out the new classroom space under construction.  Please bring a picture of your child with you (it will not be returned to you).  You may also want to bring a copy of your child’s immunization record, recent physical and any additional registration paperwork you may have. We can make copies and return anything to you that evening.

Enter DeSales at the Main Office entrance on Ambleside Rd. We will assemble in room 14 on the main floor.   

Kindly RSVP to PellicanoS@DeSalesCatholicSchool.org

See you soon!

Debra Klee – Teacher Associate

Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened!

Just like our tapoles have turned into frogs and our caterpillars to butterflies we have watched your children change and grow this year! They have  been a pleasure to get to know and we were thrilled to  help start them on their Educational Journey! Thank you for that opportunity! Thank you for a great school year! Have a Safe and Happy Summer!                                                                                                                        xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

                                                   Warm and Fuzzy Regards, 

                                                                     Love, 

                                                      Mrs. Pellicano and Mrs. Klee

HSA Meeting Performance

We have been invited to perform at the Home School Association Meeting on Tuesday, June 5th at 7:00 pm to showcase our preschool threes program.  This is an OPTIONAL performance if you are available, please join us.  We will gather in Room 14 (my other room) at 6:50 pm.  We have been practicing the song "The More We Get Together" in sign language.  Please let me know if you will attend!

The Caterpillars Have Arrived

      Apparently, the caterpillar community must be feeling the economic "pinch" of the current times.  Last year, we received 5 caterpillars, this year a mere 4!  This week, we will begin observing and learning about the life cycle of the butterfly.  By the time the students arrive Monday, these youngsters will surely be already forming into chrysalides.  We will release the butterflies before the end of the year!  Please feel free to stop in and check out the progress!  

Caterpillars

Painted Lady Butterfly

POLLIWOGS!

This week we are learning about the life cycle of a frog!  We had a polliwog habitat visit our classroom and are hoping for some polliwogs of our own thanks to a former student and her muck-boot-wearing Momma!  The students will be able to watch the polliwogs grow and hopefully see them at least grow feet before the end of the school year.

We will begin learning about the life cycle of a butterfly next week when our caterpillars arrive.  Or butterfly habitats are waiting patiently and so are the children.

We are also watching some duck eggs for signs of life in Mrs. Anzalone's classroom.  Stay tuned for some exciting news....

With only 7 days of preschool left in the school year, we want to remind you that we will take every opportunity to explore the outdoors, weather permitting.  Please forgive any sand or dirt that may arrive home with your child ;-)

Goings on!

Digging for gems in the rice table! Just plain fun!

Listening to the story of the tiny seed!
