SCHOOL NEWS
It’s been a great, busy week here at LSL! Our 2 Year-Olds had a blast finger painting a friendship tree. You can see it hanging in the pick-up area. Our 3 and 4 Year-Olds have been exploring friendship art, creating portraits of themselves and learning about sorting and patterns. Everyone has been busy, learning, and having fun!

Looking forward, we will be implementing some changes to the 3 and 4 year-old room. We will begin splitting the students for morning activities beginning next week. More information will be provided on this change later in the week. We are excited to focus on both groups specific needs!

Our Afternoon Program is changing! Starting September 11th we will be running a BEAM Club Program in the afternoons. Students will participate in projects like cooking, STEM, Art, Music, and Physical Education. These clubs are a wonderful way to enhance your student’s education! If you would like to try out a free week, or for more

SCHOOL NEWS
School is off to a great start this year!  Our students are learning the classroom routines and jumping into learning.  This week we will be focusing on Friendship.  Our teachers have planned lots of activities across our 8 domains to reinforce the theme.  It’s going to be a great week! Be sure to check Bright Wheel for classroom updates.

Our afternoon program begins this week.  If you are not signed up, see Mrs. Cunningham to get signed up today!  This program is an excellent opportunity to enhance your child’s education.  We have three and five day programs available.   
As we move forward with school please remember the following:
  • Toilet Training and Behavior Policies need to be returned  
  • Girls who come to school in dresses are encouraged to wear shorts under
  • Please return the parent survey so we can better serve you!
  • Take a moment to review the snack guidelines

The Price of Tardiness
Our school begins at 8:30.  5-10 minutes may seem like no time to us, but to your child’s education it’s valuable time. If you are 5 minutes late every day, you child has missed 25 minutes of instructional time in a week.  That adds up to 1 hour and 40 minutes each month!  Over the year, that adds up to 15 hours of lost instructional time each year!  If you are 10 minutes late, that doubles.  Our time in school is short and precious, please drop your child off on time.


This week’s Theme is Friendship
Challenge of the week: Make a new friend at school!
