September Newsletter

September
Dear Parents,
   We had fun getting to know our new students and welcoming back our returning students last week!
 We are so excited to start school and have lots of fun things planned for the upcoming year.  Each month you will receive a newsletter with all the information you’ll need for that month. Be sure to read it each month and if you have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to ask. 
 September 12-16 we will be learning all about RAINBOWS,  following directions and recognizing our own name.  We will be working on cutting with scissors, starting our Journals and doing lots of painting & gluing. We will be getting messy at preschool, so please send your child dressed appropriately.  Thursday/Friday is Sharing Day at Melody Lane.  Your child will bring home a sack explaining what they need to bring this week.  
 September 19-23 we will learn about APPLES, the letter “A” and name recognition. RED is the color of the week, so remember to wear something RED! We will be making applesauce, painting, singing and exploring different types of apples. On Thursday/Friday this week we invite all our Mothers to join us for picnic the last half an hour of class. Please bring a blanket and a small snack. This is great time to get to know your child’s classmates and their Mothers. 
The week of September 26-29 we will learn about YELLOW and the letter “S” and begin to work on learning our phone numbers.. Remember to wear something yellow this week.  The evening of September 29th is BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT. The children are invited to bring their parents to school that evening to meet their child’s teachers and to discover what their children do while they are at preschool.  The three-year-olds are invited between 6-7pm and the four-year-olds 7-8pm.  We look forward to seeing you all that evening. Please note that Friday, September 30th is a Teacher Prep Day.  There will be NO SCHOOL on that day.   
  Just a reminder, Book Orders are due Friday, September 16th.  We are working to get our scholastic account online. We'll let you know as soon as it is up and running.  Until then, just return your order forms to your child's teacher. 
   Melody Lane now has a blog!  melodylanepreschool.blogspot.com/  We will try and keep it updated so that you can see what we are doing at preschool. 
   If anyone is interested in some fun theater classes for their children we would highly recommend the Utah Festival Conservatory of the Performing Arts.  Contact your child's teacher for flyers and registration information.
MELODY LANE TEACHERS,

Laurie, Valerie, Olivia and Christy
