February 2009

Nursery School News

February preschoolers will start off the month with a look at Groundhogs Day, classic nursery rhymes and alphabet recognition. Valentine’s Day parties and card exchanges will be held on February 11th and 12th, prior to our President’s Day holiday (Feb. 13—Feb. 16). A field trip to Whitehall Public Library will be taken by the Pre kindergarten class on Wednesday, February 18th. Teachers will also introduce a unit on dental health for all students. We will conclude February with bringing in a favorite teddy bear from home for show and tell and gym class.

Registrations for the Fall of 2009 are open to new students.
