There's Nothing In My Bag Today

There’s Nothing In My Bag Today
Today I did math and science
and I toasted bread, I counted, measured and
used my eyes, ears and my head.

I added and subtracted and used magnets and blocks
I learned about a rainbow and I learned how to weigh.
So please don’t say,
“Is there anything in your bag today?”

For you see, I’m learning all about sharing as I play.
I learned to listen and speak clearly when I talk,
To wait my turn, and when insideto walk.
To put my thoughts into a phrase,
To guide a crayon through a maze.
To find my name and write it down,
To work with a smile and not a frown.
To put my painting brush away.
So please don’t say, “Nothing in your bag today?”

I’ve learned about a snail and a worm.
Remembering how to take my turn.
I helped a friend when he was stuck,
Learned that water runs off a duck.
I looked at words from left to right,
Agreed to differ, not to fight.
So please don’t say, “Did you only play today?”

Miscellaneous Information

• School Pictures will be taken in October.
• When sending money to school, please send it in an envelope clearly marked with your child’s name and the purpose of the money.
• Please place any correspondence for the teachers in your child’s folder each day.

• 
  There are several ways you can help us maintain the best possible teaching atmosphere for your child:
  
  
• Communicate any concerns regarding our program or your child immediately to staff.
• Read the notices and information left for you in your child’s folder.
• Look at your child’s papers/projects daily. Their work is very important to them and provides another means of communication between parent and child and helps the parent share in the child’s day.

In order not to confuse school toys with a child’s personal property, we ask that children only bring playthings from home on their show and tell day.


Things you can work on with your child at home:

• Sharing
• Cleaning Up
• Recognizing colors, shapes, numbers and letters
• Cutting with scissors
• Buttoning, snapping, zipping and tying
  
  
  
  Please feel free to share your questions, ideas or concerns with the teacher. We hope the Mt. Pleasant Preschool experience will be exciting for you and your child.
  
  God Bless,
  Mt. Pleasant Preschool

Show and Tell / Mystery Bag

(Mystery Bag)
The purpose of SHOW AND TELL is to enhance the children’s language development by speaking and listening to one another. Children are encouraged to bring items they can talk about, such as vacation souvenirs, artwork, nature items,
photographs, or anything that would be of interest to our class. You will know it is your child’s SHOW AND TELL day when they bring home the Mystery Bag.
