Parent Letter example :)

January 15, 2018

Dear Families,

We have been having a busy year so far with all of our wonderful 3 and 4 year olds in our classroom.  We continue making friends, working on strategies learn how to share, encouraging the students to make good choices, practicing cutting properly with scissors, and helping them learn about our classroom schedule.  It is important to make our expectations clear to our children and give them lots or friendly reminders.

            Thank you to all of you for helping your special someone get off to a great school year start.  Please continue to send back any additional items such as:  Intake Checklist, supplies, blanket for nap, updated contact information, or conference preferred times.  Below are some fun games you can play at home to practice the skills we are doing in the classroom. 

·         Play board games with your child.  Please give them lots of encouragement for taking turns, counting, and sharing the game pieces.

·         Please thank and praise your child makes a good choice, for example:  When they are kind to someone, they share food or toys, He/she waits patiently, or you hear them use their manners. 

·         Any practice with scissors and safety at home is helpful. 

o   Reposition them with thumbs up and one hand guiding/one hand cutting

o   Encourage them, use your hands over theirs to guide their work, & reposition as needed.

Ask your child about the books, songs, and silly games we play at circle time.  Please contact me with any questions.  My contact information is below.  Thank you for all you do to make this year fantastic for your child.  I appreciate you! J

Be blessed,

Mrs. Denny J
