Wee Creations Christian Preschool
February 2021 Newsletter
We are happy to be back in class! There is a wonderful layer of snow in our playground.
Miss Pannekoek is away until March 10 but we are thankful to have been able to meet our staffing needs with the help of Mrs. DeBoer and Mrs. Westerhof.
All students must use the online screening tool before arriving at preschool. If for some reason, you cannot do that, we do have a QR code at the school entrance that you can scan into your phone.
It is definitely notable that students are not coming to preschool with colds, coughs and runny noses.
This helps all of our students to stay healthy. This protects the staff from illness as well.
BIRTHDAYS
There is something special about February 24, this year! All of our preschool birthdays fall on that day.
Elizabeth turns 4 on Feb. 24! Isaac turns 3 on Feb. 24! Miss Pannekoek has a birthday on Feb. 24 also!
February also means Valentine’s Day. Because of Covid restrictions, it’s best if we don’t exchange cards and treats. Just remember that God loves us and wants us to love each other.
As most of our students will be heading off to JK next fall, we are focusing on some school readiness skills. 1. Using the toilet, wiping their own bottom, washing and drying hands. 2. Getting dressed for outside time with minimal help.3. Asking for help when it is needed.
September is 6 months away, so don’t panic if your child can’t do all these things right now. Just take opportunities to encourage their independence. Their new teachers will appreciate it!
In the January newsletter, it was mentioned that Mrs. Scheele’s mother was dying. For those of you who don’t know, she passed away on January 6. She is remembered as a kind, loving person who was always thinking of ways to help others. Mrs. Scheele is thankful for the extra weeks off from preschool.
Registration packages for September 2021 will be available soon! We are offering classes each weekday morning as well as Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. All classes will need a minimum number of students in order to operate. We plan to welcome Mrs. Joanne Dreise as our third staff member, with the intention that she will take over as Supervisor at some point in the next school year.
