PreK Press
January 18 - February 1
Valentine’s Day Celebration: On Thursday, February 14th the PreKers will be having a Valentine’s Day celebration in the classroom that will include a special snack and the passing out of valentines. Please send your child to school with valentines for each child in the class and have them sign their name on each card. The children may address them if they want to but it is not necessary, as we will be helping them distribute the cards. We will also be making valentine holders in class so there is no need to send in any type of container from home. For your convenience, here is a list of children in the class:
Arlo Emma Harper Maggie
Brayden Felix Jace Maria
Brody Gianni Juliet Sophia
Ellie Gray Logan
A sign-up sheet for our special snack is posted just outside our classroom door. Thank you in advance for your contributions. There is no need to send your child’s regular snack on this day.
Parent Conferences: There is no school for children on Friday, February 15th as that is our next parent conference day. The sign-up sheet is now posted outside the classroom. As always, I look forward to talking with all of you about your terrific children! Hopefully there is a time slot that works for you and, if not, please know that I can find an alternative.
No School: Please note that TCS will be closed on Monday, February 18th.
2 Hour Delay Information: Any time TCS has a delayed opening, please note that your child should eat their snack at home prior to coming to school as we won’t be having snack in class on those days. Thank you.
TCS Reading Specialist: We are excited to let parents know that in the very near future Mrs. Jennifer Hornyak will be spending time weekly in the PreK class. Mrs. Hornyak is the Reading Specialist here at TCS and spends much of her time “traveling” from classroom to classroom. You may know her from the two days each week when she greets families in the Clark House foyer. Mrs. Hornyak has been at the Country School for 21 years and has taught various grade levels. In developing her Reading Specialist role, her goal is to work with each student in some capacity while getting to know where they are in their reading and writing development. Naturally, she spends the majority of her time in Kindergarten through 5th grade, but it is important for families to understand that your children will all work with Mrs. Hornyak. This is part of our general education structure and not necessarily that of a special need, as is often the case in other schools. She works closely with teachers, students, and parents to support, supplement, provide intervention, and extend classroom teaching. The implementation of this successful researched-based reading program helps meets the needs of each child and we view it as an additional teacher getting to know your child and collaborating in their educational experience. We look forward to welcoming Mrs Hornyak into our classroom!
