March Newsletter

1. As we enter the month of March we have many important dates coming up, so please make sure you check the boards and
sign the field trip forms so your child can participate. You might have already noticed we are in the process of getting new
cubbies for outside the classroom. Each child will get their own space for their coats and belongings. We are excited for the
new cubbies to help it be more organized in the hallway. Papers will now be only on your child’s hook inside the classroom,
so please make sure you check it daily. Have a great month, Jeni Hoover

Healthy Tidbit for the Month:
TWO HOURS of SCREEN TIME… or less each day.
Power down the computer, television, cell phone, electronic
games, notebooks and tune in to talking, playing, and
moving more. Keep an eye on the clock (or use a timer) and
enjoy family time without the screens!
Challenge this Month:
Try to give your child/children alternatives to screen time
this month such as puzzles, card games, or helping you.

stories, songs, and sweet treats.
Our next get-together is March 17th
at 3pm for
Saint Patrick’s Day.

From the Classroom:
Hello!
February was full of love and friendship as we celebrated Valentine’s Day with our friends
and Grandfriends. The children also enjoyed the ELI field trip to the Bop Stop. They heard a
story about a Bee looking for Bear, and each animal that Bee asked if they had seen Bear had
their own music that would match the way they moved. The music was on piano, flute, or a
cello. It was really interesting. They also learned how many keys are on a piano. (Ask your
child if they remember how many keys are on a piano. There are 88.) It is great to recall past
events. We have two ELI Trips in March. Please let us know in advance if you would like to
join us. We also started talking about pets. If anyone knows a veterinarian that would be
willing to come in and talk to the children, please let us know. Thanks!
