Home PageOnce again, Joyful Noise Preschool will be collecting nonperishable food and personal hygiene items (preferably no glass) to donate to the CEAP program to help out needy families who are less fortunate than us. Before these items are taken to CEAP, the students will use these items to set up a grocery store in the dramatic play area. Our goal is to beat our past record total of 391 lbs. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to participate in a community project.
On March 1st & 2nd the students will be going on a field trip to The Works in Bloomington. The Works is a unique engineering opportunity for children, creating a fun memorable learning experience for all. Please note, the bus will be returning at 11:45. This is fifteen minutes later than our regular classroom dismissal time. The afternoon class will attend this field trip with the morning class on Thursday.
Please sign up on March 5th & 6th for the March 15th & 16th conferences. These conferences will be a 10-minute verbal conference with no report card sent home. Out of consideration for all families, if you feel you need more than 10-minutes please contact your teachers.
March 9th we do not have school due to conference preparation for teachers.
March 15th & 16th are Family/Teacher conferences. Classes will not be held on these dates.
March 20th & 21st, we will be having our Fun with Fathers day. If possible, dads or any other male figure in your child’s life should attend school this day. Mad Science will be introducing the concepts of perpetual and kinetic energy with a plethora of hands-on, minds-on experiences at specified times for each individual class. Each child will also bring home a device to demonstrate energy. Please clear your calendars, so you can enjoy this opportunity with your student during their class. Any questions can be directed to your child’s teachers.
Another reminder, in the month of April we will be having our Memories with Mom. The exact dates have not been set, but when decided upon will be printed in the April Joyful News.
Spring break will be March 26th through April 1st. There will not be school during this time. We hope all of you have a fantastic time spending it with your children!
We would also like to thank those who participated in the Usborne Book Fair. A total of $1,638 of books were sold, which tabulates into $819 of books Joyful Noise received for their school library. Special thanks goes out to the Adebayo, Benjamin, Burke, Hausmann, Kulseth, Luther, O’Dwyer, Paar, Thai, and Vendel families for purchasing books from the teacher’s wish list. The Stockfisch family won the book drawing.
We would like to thank Dr. Krista Bauer & Hygienist Stacy Kulseth, for their willingness to talk with our students during dental week. Their expertise brings additional information on how to keep our teeth healthy and clean.
May the Lord shine upon you,
The teaching staff at Maple Grove
