ECFE

The next couple of weeks we are  going to be doing Science!! Come join us for some awesome and simple experiments that you can do at home, too!  We will be shining some pennies, making some bubble explosions and testing out some water tension!
My ECFE classes are Monday night 5:30-7:00, Wednesday Afternoon 1:30-3:00 and Friday morning from 9:00-10:30.

Even if you haven't attended ecfe before, now is a great time to come and do some exploring with your kids! Everyone is welcome! ECFE is for kids ages birth to 5 years old!  See what we are all about and have some fun with science, too!

January Fun!

We love going to the library and reading our books!


Building towers, castles and...elephant holders :)

The kids found a new use for the wood in our sensory table! They figured out that it is great to use for musical instruments!

Parent Advisory Council Meeting

Tuesday January 23, 2014
5:30 pm
Parent Ed room at the Elementary School

If you are a parent of a child in any of the early childhood programs, you are invited to attend our PAC (parent advisory council) meeting next week! We will be discussing upcoming family events!

It is very important that we have a majority of parents at our PAC meetings. These meetings are madated by the state of MN. If we don't have a majority of parents, we can't count the meeting. We need these meetings to keep our state funding.

There will also be FREE childcare available!!

Welcome Back!



After a really long break, we are back to school! I was amazed at how well my students made the transition back to school after such a long break! They fell right back into their routines right away! A couple of notes:


There is no school on January 20, this is a workshop day for teachers.

We have a practicum student teacher starting with us on January 13. She is coming to us from Alexandria Technical College! We are excited to have her joining our room!

Watch for book orders! They should be coming home this next week. You can always order online at www.scholastic.com!

IGDI's assessments are starting this week with Jill. Jill will be assessing your child in rhyming, alliteration, picture naming and letter names. 

We are going to be starting math intervention groups this coming week as well. This group will work on shapes and colors as well as rote counting up to 10 and naming numerals 0-5. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me! hplasek@pp.k12.mn.us


Tuition Payments

I just wanted to let you know that if you mailed in your payments in December, they were forwarded to me by the district office instead of the secretary. As they come to me, I am delivering them to the office. If you send a payment with your child, please place it in their folder and clearly mark it as payment and we will make sure that it gets to the office. Thank you!! :)
