Patti's Preschool Newsletter, March 2025
Our theme this month is Animals – Zoo, Circus, Jungle, Farm, and Pets! The children will be learning about the characteristics and habitats of animals. Some of our projects will include animal masks, puppets, animal collages, and zoo animal cages. We will also celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday during the first week of March. We will make green eggs and ham and Dr. Seuss hats. Our favorite Dr. Seuss books will be read throughout the week.
Scholastic book orders are due Friday morning, March 7. You are able to order books online! Each order you place helps the school earn new books and classroom supplies! Please see the front office to find out the procedure.
Parent/teacher conferences will continue through the month of March and into the first week April. Evaluations will be sent home prior to conference dates. Conferences are not mandatory, but you may sign up if you would like to chat with your child’s teacher. Sign-up sheets will be posted in the classrooms. Please sign up for a convenient day/time and list your phone number.

Many thanks to Amy and John Guzman for their thoughtful donation of extra clothes, books, and a kitchen playset! We also appreciate the many art supplies donated by Kayley and Colbert Krong! Thank you for thinking of us!
We’re having a petting zoo at school on Thursday, March 27th, from 10:00-12:00. Happy Hooves will set up a little pen on our playground and the children will have an opportunity to interact with a mini sheep, a mini pig, pygmy goats, rabbits, hens, and a mini rooster. All the animals are very friendly and are used to being around kids. If your child normally doesn’t attend school on Thursdays, please feel free to bring him/her to experience the zoo. We would like advance notice if you’re joining us. (We will need you to stay with your child.) Watch for cute photos on our Facebook page!
Our Valentine’s Day party was a big success thanks to all the parents who donated items. We appreciate our thoughtful parents!
March is National Nutrition Month®! The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics urges everyone to start small – one forkful at a time. This year’s theme is ‘Food Connects Us,’ which focuses on the ways food connects us to our cultures, our families, and our friends! Food, nutrition and eating skills are among the most important things you can share with children — food to fuel busy, successful lives, nutrition to nourish strong bodies and smart brains, and eating skills to enjoy the social aspect of meals with family and friends. Look for more helpful information at choosemyplate.gov to start encouraging healthy eating habits!
We will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day on Monday, March 17, with a special snack and lots of fun activities. Remember to wear green to school!
Daylight Saving Time begins on March 9th. Time to “spring forward!”
