The students may bring their valentines to hand out on Feb. 10th for the MWF classes & the 11th for the T-TH classes. Please send the appropriate number of cards with your child for their class.  Please DO NOT put NAMES on the envelopes, just have your child, (or you) sign their own name on the card. It will make passing out the cards much easier. Candy is optional. We will make our valentine bags at school, and each child will individually pass out their valentines and treats. We will have our Valentine’s Day party following our snack time. The MWF classes have 17 students.  The T-TH   AM classes  have  14 students, PM has 15. Remember, please, no friends’ names on Valentines cards.

Snow Days

January

No School at Treehouse if public school is canceled or dismissed early due to the weather. Listen to the radio or TV when the weather changes. If public school is delayed 1 hr, we will start at our regular time. If it’s delayed 2 hrs. due to weather, we don’t have the AM class, but will have the PM class.

Our field trip will be to Monson’s Dental Office Feb. 24. Please wear your Treehouse t-shirts.

We could use more Clorox wipes & Hand Sanitizer Please!!

This month we talked about responsibility  for our Character Counts, and community helpers, nursery rhymes, space  We’ve been , acting out nursery rhymes, making planets, coloring, cutting, gluing, painting & even writing  in our journals. Thank you Police Chief Joe Hutmacher & Officer Jon Coler for coming to visit our classrooms during community helpers week and telling us about your jobs! We loved seeing your car, handcuffs, flashlight, lights, & cameras. Thanks for the stickers!

Evaluations, Conferences & Kindergarten Round-up

I am starting the 4-5 yr. old classes’ student evaluations & will be having parent conferences in March for the 4-5 yr. old students in preparation for kindergarten round-up at the elementary school.

Show & Tell

Show & Tell is a special event we will be having each month.  Please send a non-breakable item in your child's backpack or sack.  We try to keep it a surprise until show & tell time.  We also pass the item around, letting everyone touch it; therefore, we would rather have non-breakable items.  The children really look forward to this time, so make sure you check your calendar for this event.
