It's a new year!

Our first full week of school is almost finished! We are still working on learning school, center, outside and many other rules and routines. I have seen so much growth in each student since their first day of preschool. We have enjoyed meeting our music and pe teachers. We LOVE going to specials.

     Please send your child’s purple folder everyday. They make beautiful artwork that needs a safe way to get home, along with other important papers.  Students should not be bringing toys from home to preschool. They will have an opportunity when we start Star of the Week to share items from home.

    Don’t forget to join the closed Facebook group “Mrs. Chesling’s 2019-2020 All Day Preschool Class.” Check out what we have been doing in preschool this week!
