Dear Parents,
LOOKING BACK
EARLY BIRDS (8:00AM-8:45AM)
Early Birds students enjoyed seeing friends and settling into their morning routines with a variety of art projects, new shelf work, and seasonal books.
AFTER SCHOOL CLUB (3:30 PM-6:00 PM)
The New Year started out with the children all very excited to reunite with their friends and get back into the swing of things after school. Now we are a month into 2023 and the children are settled back into their routines. We enjoyed welcoming some new friends and all the new students are off to a wonderful start! With wetter weather and darkness coming earlier, our time outside was a little more limited, however, whenever possible we enjoyed some fresh air and outdoor fun before heading inside.
Throughout the month of January, the students enjoyed crafts and activities relating to the winter season, as well as ongoing favorites such as Legos, new games, finger-knitting, and Story Drama. For Story Drama the children enjoy acting out their favorite stories together in a group, practicing taking turns and using props and costumes. We have been continuously amazed by the clever creations the kids come up with using items from the popular “Creation Station.”
LOOKING AHEAD
For students staying for After School Club, we have a lot of familiar and new activities planned to make everyday fun and a way for students to expand their skills and enjoy new experiences. In February, here is what we have planned for each day. We will adapt our schedule again in March to take advantage of the hopefully improving weather and lighter afternoons.
Mondays: Sewing
Tuesdays: Lego creations
Wednesdays: Music and Movement
Thursdays: Fuse Bead Art
Fridays: Finger knitting and Movie Night
Mid-Winter Break February 20-24
Our Clubroom is available during Mid-Winter Break from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday. You may sign up for just the time you need if you would like your child to attend Clubroom. Thank you for signing up in advance to allow us to plan our staff and activities to make the most of our time together.
Best wishes,
Mrs. Trivedi
Early Birds: Ms. Lin
Afterschool Clubroom: Mrs. Trivedi, Ms. Buckley, Mrs. Unadkat (Mrs. U.), Mrs. Grandinaru, Mrs. Saee, Mrs. Gupta, Mrs. Venn, Mrs. Rawat, Ms. McKinney and our teen helper Ms. Elena
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Please note that After School Club begins right at 3:30 PM, even if your child is still being escorted to the ASC location. Any student who has not been picked up by 3:30 PM is automatically entered into After School Club. When you pick up your child always be sure you have signed out on an iPad. The safety of our students is our top priority so we never want to have a situation where it is unclear whether a child has been picked up. Thank you so much for your help in making sure the communication loop is closed so that the whereabouts of every child is certain. (Please be sure anyone else authorized to pick up your child understands this as well.)
