LUSA PREK Updates

I just wanted to share some awesome news!  

We will be implementing a brand new reading program for the Prek 4's called Happily Ever After by Rowland Reading.  I have used this program before and am very excited to share this with my 4's this year. 


In addition to our interactive projector, we know have an IPad for the Prek room.  This will be another wonderful center tool that will help with fine motor skills as well as differentiation in the classroom.


Mrs. Kim Hoffman is doing very well. Her baby boy is due right when school starts, so she is going to take the year off and help him off to a great start in life.  I miss her tons, but understand her family needs.  We continue to pray and wish her continued happiness and health.  Ms. Nicole Munoz will continue working with us as our classroom assistant for the whole year. We welcome her back!


Finally, below is our first week of school.  As you prepare for that week, please pay close attention to the schedule.  It is for the benefit of your child's transition into school, many for the first time. 

West Prekindergarten Ease Into School Schedule:
Aug. 22 8:30-10 Parents stay for chapel and a get to know each other morning.
Aug. 23 8:30-11:30 No parents, all children bring a snack and dismiss at 11:30
Aug.24 First regular day.  Full day children bring a lunch and all bring a snack. 

Don't forget registration on the 14th and orientation on the 16th.  Check out Lutheranunity.com for all other upcoming information and forms!

Blessings on the rest of your summer!
