For those of you that follow the updates on our preschool blog, I must apologize for the lack of posts lately. I have recently posted the March Newsletter with a monthly review and upcoming activities.
I mentioned in our newsletter that I would be adding photos our house we built in class. I have chosen not to post photos of any child regardless of the fact that permission was given by parents. I feel at this time it isn't appropriate to do so. I will however post photos of our art projects that we are doing in class. I hope that will help bring a sense of our classroom to you.

November Newsletter
Hello again! The month of October has ended and November is in full swing!
During the month of October we did our Monster Color Book. Hopefully this is something you and your child can review together at home to help and encourage your child to learn their colors. We also spent time doing some fun fall activities with paint, leaves, and of course our Halloween party. It was a lot of fun to parade around the school to see costumes and show ours off to the rest of the school. We had even more fun frosting cookies, playing Pin the Mouth on the Pumpkin, and making Candy Corn magnets. Thank you for those of you who came in and helped, it was fun to share the day with you.
During the month of November we will be learning more about Hot and Cold, How to stay Healthy, Music, Things we can be Thankful for, and Thanksgiving.
Please do not send your child to school if he/she is sick. Remember a green or yellow runny nose is a sign of sickness. Also if your child has come down with diarrhea or a fever, please wait until the problem has ended for at least a 24 hour period of time.
Let’s try to keep our class healthy, and not spread sicknesses this season. Thank you for your help!
Skills to work on at home
**Putting on coats independently
**Washing hands independently
**Coughing or sneezing in our elbow instead of on others.
**Wiping our nose with a Kleenex.
**Cutting with scissors
**Following a 1 step direction.
**Responding to our name.
November 24, 2009 will be the last day of preschool before Thanksgiving Break. Preschool will resume on December 1, 2009. Please mark your calendars.
Thank you for helping me with the daily journals. I appreciate your willingness to review your child’s day with them, and sending the journals back blank and ready for the next school day. This really helps us know you are aware of what your child is doing in school.
We will be starting an Alphabet book. We will work on a letter each week focusing on recognition and the letter sound. I will be keeping the pages for the book and your child will receive the book at the end of the school year. We will be doing other alphabet activities that may be sent home. Please review the letters of the alphabet with your child especially those letters in their name. This will help them to start to recognize the alphabet letters and sounds and help reinforce what we are working on in the classroom.
Thank you to those of you who helped our class out with donations. We sure do appreciate it. If you would still like to donate, please feel free to send any snack items such as crackers, fruit snacks, cereal, graham crackers, raisins, etc. If you want to donate any non food items, we can always use Clorox wipes and Lysol Spray to clean our classroom and toys. Again we appreciate your support.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. I am always available via email gjpayan@hotmail.com and can be reached by phone 801 789 2600 Ext 166, before school starting at 8:30 am and after school until 4:00 pm. I ask that you only contact me during class time if it is an emergency.
Thank you for all you do for your child.

October Newsletter
Hello again! The month of September has come to an end.
October is here and so is the season of Fall.
During the month of September, our theme was Transportation, and Things that Go! The local Eagle Mountain Fire Department came to visit. They brought the fire truck and ambulance for us to explore. I hope you took the opportunity to discuss this experience at home. The students really seemed to enjoy our classroom experience.
SEP Conferences
SEP conferences will be held on Wednesday, October 7th and Thursday, October 8th. Please call or email me to set up a time to meet on one of those days. I will make appointments on a first come first serve basis.
SEP’s is a opportunity for us to visit briefly about your child’s progress so far this year.
Picture Make up Day
Picture make up day will be Tuesday, October 13th. The photographers will be taking pictures from 9:30 am to 10:00 am. This is a make up day if your child missed the original picture day so please bring them in if necessary for pictures.
Fall Break
Fall Break will be October 15, and 16. There will be no preschool. School will resume October 20th.
Pick up and Drop off
Just a reminder, when you are dropping your child off for school please do not bring your child more than 5 minutes before school starts. Also please be on time, when you are picking up your child from school. The parking lots get pretty busy so I encourage you to come early especially with construction and weather.
Daily Journals
I have started sending home a daily journal for your child. Please review it with your child each day, and then clean it off with running water. This is my way of communicating with you about your child’s day. Please clean it off to let me know that you have read it. The daily journal is optional if you do not wish to receive it please let me know.
Donations
If you would like to donate to our class you are welcome to donate any snack items, hand sanitizer, and/or Clorox wipes. Thank you to those who have sent snack donations. I do appreciate it.
Clothing and Shoes
Please remember that preschool is a place children learn, and sometimes we get messy, when we are learning. Please send your child in clothing that can get dirty.
Please also send your child in shoes that do not limit your child’s physical abilities. We do A.P.E. and play out on the playground. With the weather changing please remember to send a coat or jacket because we do try to go outside even when it gets cold.
Sickness
Please do not send your child to school with a cough or runny nose. I will be sending children home with these symptoms. I would like to keep sicknesses out of our classroom as much as possible and you can help us out by keeping your child at home when they appear to be sick.
IEP Goals
Please review your child’s IEP goals and incorporate their goals into his/her daily routine. Reinforcing your child’s goals at home along with the activities at school will help them with their progress.
October Activities
October activities in preschool will include our Shapes Theme. There will be lots of fun activities to help us learn our shapes including a shape collage. Please take this opportunity to reinforce shapes matching and identification during the month. We will also be discussing and going activities about Fall and Halloween.
Please watch for more details on our Fall Class Party. Parents will be invited to come and participate, however, other arrangements will need to be made for siblings if you want to participate.
Thank you for all your help and support.

Scholastic Book Orders
I recently sent home September Scholastic Book Orders. Book orders are optional, if you are interested in ordering books for your child, they have great books and most are very inexpensive. For every book ordered we receive class bonus points as well as free books for our class library. It is a great way to help your child learn to love books. Whether you order books or not, I would strongly encourage you to spend time each day reading to your child.
Book Orders are due September 11, 2009. Please DO NOT send CASH!!!
Please remember to write your child's name on the book order so I know who ordered them.
If you have any questions, please let me know! Thank you!
