From the Principal’s Office:
Welcome to a new school year at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool. We are excited to have your family with us this school year. We encourage you to take a few minutes each month and scroll down to read the reminders, upcoming events, and the articles. We host a variety of events for families to enjoy and we encourage parent participation at our preschool. This newsletter, our weekly highlights, and the flyers at the front desk will help you to be better informed about all the fun filled, family events we are hosting this school year. Also Dr. Lauren Starnes from our education department writes a new article each month to help you support your child’s development with quick suggestions and information.
Each month I will provide you with “My Favorite” book list on everything from apples to picnics to feelings. I hope this list inspires you to take a trip to the library or your local bookstore to check out a new book or share an old favorite with your child. Your child will develop language, new vocabulary, phonological awareness, and eventually phonics skills through the words spoken to them, the stories read to them, and the books they are exposed to. I am very passionate about reading all types of books to children and providing a print rich environment. I will also list some poems, songs, or finger plays each month for you to share with your child too. We also have age specific book lists for you to take near the front desk. One of my favorite reading quotes is “everyone is a reader… some just haven’t found their favorite book yet”.
My Favorite Books about Starting School
1. Wemberly Worried by Kevin Henkes
2. The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn
3. Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell
4. Francine’s Day by Anna Alter
5. Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes
6. Chu’s First Day of School by Neil Gaiman
7. My Name is Yoon by Helen Recorvits
8. Will I Have a Friend? by Miriam Cohen
9. Froggy Goes to School by Jonathon London
10. Pete the Cat Rocking in My New School Shoes by Eric Litwin
Five Little Friends
(hold up five fingers, subtract one with each action)
Five little friends playing on the floor,
One got tired and then there were four.
Four little friends climbing in a tree,
One jumped down and then there were three.
Three little friends skipping to the zoo,
One went for lunch and then there were two.
Two little friends swimming in the sun,
One went home and then there was one.
One little friend going for a run,
Decided to take a nap and then there were none.
We are so excited to have your family with us this new school year!

Topics: Social-Emotional Learning
Your child grabs a toy from a playmate, tears erupt, and you immediately tell him to say, “I’m sorry.” Does this sound familiar? Although apologizing might seem to diffuse the situation, these words alone don’t fix hurt feelings, nor do they help your child understand how or why he caused[.....]
