Welcome to Mrs. Barcacel’s Class September 2017 Mrs. Barcacel’s Pre-k 7 Welcome to Mrs. Barcacel’s Class Dear Parents/Guardians, As we are settling in to our first full week of school, I just want to go over a few important things. Pre-K is a year of growing socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Your involvement, interest, and enthusiasm will help make this a wonderful year of growth for you and your child. Thus far, we have been working on independence, classroom procedures, and using our words. The skills we practice daily in Pre-K are the building blocks for your child’s future success in school and in life!

We will be working on classroom rules and routines as well as how the classroom works. The first unit we will be working on is called ALL ABOUT ME. The topic is a great start for the children to get to know each other. In class we will be doing different activities involving their names, family, their favorite color, birthday, and what they like best about themselves. These are the different ways we will learn ALL ABOUT ME. ©Thrifty in Third Grade 2016 Information ~Class starts at 7:45am and will be dismissed at 2:05m ~Parents, please don’t forget to sign your children out ~Please be sure to label all your child’s belongings with their name and Pre-K 7 ~Please remember every Friday blankets and sheets will be returned home to be washed for Monday ~Please check and empty your child’s folder daily ~Keep in mind, we have outdoor gross motor every other day.
