Dear Chesterbrook Academy Famililes,
It is finally February and love is in the air! Here at Chesterbrook Academy we are embracing our love of learning. All of our classes, the youngest infants through the oldest Pre-K students, are loving our hands-on learning and sensory experiences. Students are engaging in manipulative play to strengthen their math skills and letter exploration to aid in recognition and word building. Our sensory experiences throughout the month will help students understand hot and cold, as well as better understand the different states of water as they see how fast, or slow, ice melts in to water. Our students of all ages will be creating snow and making ice paintings.
Valentine’s day is right around the corner. To help students embrace love, friendship and giving, the week of February 13th will be an “Acts of Kindness” week. Teachers will be working with their classes to teach what kindness is and how we can express it towards each other. Students throughout the school will also participate in a Valentine’s Tea and cards exchange. During this time, we will be learning all about love. We will learn how to express a love of friendship and embrace all of our friends in our class. Parties and card exchanges will take place on Tuesday, February 14th at 3:30pm.
Reminder: Chesterbrook Academy will be closed on Monday February 20th. Our teachers will be participating in an inservice day to strengthen their skills and gather fun, new teaching ideas to incorporate in to their daily routines.
It is never too late to sign up for our extra curricular activities. From Lil’ Sports to Makin’ Music, our extra curricular activities allow our students to experience an added “kick” to our curriculum.
Lil’ Sports – Wednesdays at 9:00am
Lil’ Dance – Thursdays at 9:30am
Makin’ Music – Thursdays at 3:30pm
Please see Mary Ellen or Catie if you are interested in getting your child involved.
**We have been lucky so far in regards to winter weather. However, if we were to get hit with any hazardous weather, you will be kept well aware. Closings, delays or early dismissals will be communicated through email, posted on our website and listed on our local television channel/website 6 ABC-WPVI.**
