Teacher Updates- December 2014

Hello Vaughn Families,
I cannot believe that it is already December!  We have had such a great
beginning to our preschool year.  The children have come together as great
groups in each class and I am seeing friendships being formed.  
During the month of December we will be reading different stories of
The Gingerbread Man.  Our concepts will include Small, Medium and Large.
Our vocabulary words are 2, Red, Gingerbread Man and Excited.
I hope that you can all make it to our annual Gingerbread House Decorating
Potluck on Friday evening from 6:00-7:30...it is always a night of fun and 
excitement.  At the end of the evening, the children will be reading to you
the story of The Gingerbread Man.
Thank you so much for sharing your children with me!
We are having a great year!!!
Teacher Kim
 
 
Hello Evergreen Families, 
 
In our class we have been working on letter recognition of names, counting 
1-5, and colors.  During December we are continuing letter recognition of names, 
and will work on writing our name. We will also read the Gingerbread Man and learn
two new nursery rhymes, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and I'm a Little Teapot
We will be starting a lesson calle Mat Man, this is where we learn how to draw people.
 
On Thursday December 18th, during class time, we will be making Gingerbread men
cookies. You are welcome to join your child to make the cookies and play. 
 
Thank you for sharing your child and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season! 
Teacher Mary

Thank you to The Gig Harbor Garden Club!



The Gig Harbor Garden Tour Association graciously provided a $3000 grant to the Key Peninsula Cooperative Preschool to purchase state-of-the-art, computer compatible projectors for each class. The projectors allow the teachers to use on-line programs and much more to help further classroom instruction.

Proceeds from the Garden Tour benefit local organizations that promote literacy. Last year, the tour supported the Boys and Girls Club, Communities in Schools of Peninsula (CISP), the Gig Harbor library, Reach out and Read (Pediatrics Northwest) and the Reading is Fundamental program at Evergreen Elementary School.

The Gig Harbor Garden Tour Association is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization and is an all-volunteer organization.

Inclement Weather and School Closures

Luckily, the recent snow that graced us was during a school holiday.  But what if it was on a school day? Here are a few tips to see if school will be in session:

  • We follow school district closures.  Our school district is Peninsula School District 401.
  • If school is two hours late, then we do not have preschool.
  • School Messenger will notify you or listen to the major radio and TV station for school closures and delays.
