Dear Preschool Families,

Welcome to this week’s Preschool Newsletter.

It was so nice to begin the week with beautiful sunny weather and to see everyone playing outside and enjoying the sunshine.

This week, teachers also began preparing for a special visitor next week—the Leprechaun! We started by reading the book How to Catch a Leprechaun and talking about how sneaky and mischievous leprechauns can be. The children are already excited and have been sharing their ideas about how we might catch one if it visits our classroom.

Next week, students will continue learning about leprechauns through stories, discussions, and fun classroom activities. They will be using their creativity and problem-solving skills to design their own leprechaun traps. We are looking forward to seeing all the imaginative ideas our preschoolers come up with as they try to outsmart our tricky little visitor!

A quick reminder for our families: The EHT Preschool lottery registration for the next school year has begun. You can find more information on our district web page at www.eht.k12.nj.us. If your child is currently enrolled in our program, there’s no need to register again for either preschool or kindergarten for the upcoming school year.

Wishing you all a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

Sincerely,

Joe Marinelli
