Coordinators’ Corner

Dear Parents

We are now in the month of assessment and waxing

of the floors. It is a busy month with lots going on

but our parents make it much easier with all the help

they give to the staff and classrooms. Once we know

the dates on both of these I will pass it along to the

staff and parents. We are still in the interviewing pro-

cess for hiring the coordinators for the 2 sites at this

time. There was one candidate picked out but she has

chosen to stay with her current position. We have

many applications and will continue to go through

each of them and interview as needed.

Thanks for all you do for the Center!

Dear Infant Parents,

In the month of July Infants will be learning about nursery rhymes. We will be

learning about different nursery rhymes and doing various activities associated

with them.

Important reminders

UTC Children’s Center will be closed on Wednesday July 4, 2018

July 11th 3-Stars Assessment.

Good Housekeeping:

Please remember to wear your shoecovers when entering to

classroom. Please wash your hands and your child’s hands upon

entering the classroom and please be sure to label all of your

children’s items.

Thank you for being such wonderful parents!

Ms. Cathy and Ms. Debbie

Dear Parents,

We had a fun month exploring oceans and the things that live in them. This

month we will be introducing Fireworks, Flags, and Camping. During the camp-

ing unit we may have a visit from a friend with camping paraphernalia for

the children to explore. I’ll have more details at a future date. We will have

tents, sleeping bags, flashlights, “logs and campfires”, lanterns, and camp

chairs set up in the room. This might be a good time to set up play tents in

your own home/playrooms/backyards. We will take nature walks, “roast”

marshmallows, eat some s’mores, and try roasted hotdogs. (I’ll be getting

organic chicken or turkey dogs for this activity;0)

We will be having the state 3 Star Assessment on Wednesday July 11th,

so you may see people with clipboards observing in

the classroom. Just as a friendly reminder (not that

ya’ll need it, ya’ll rock) please wash your hands and

your child(ren)’s hands upon entering the room.

Have a great month,

Ms. Ann, Ms.Jameshia, Ms. Kayley, and Mr. Ben

Dear Parents,

For the month of July, the Older Toddlers will be learning all about

summer. We will discuss nature, animals, changes in the

weather, and going on vacation. Mostly, we will focus on

going to the beach, going camping and going to the park.

The Older Toddlers will get to enjoy nature by going on

walks and going to the “park” right outside our school.

They will also get to eat watermelon and make Smores.

We ask that parents bring in any pictures of their families

on vacation or enjoying a day in the park so that we can

display these in the classroom.

Thank you for your support.

Ms. Amy and Ms. Katie

Dear Parents,

We’ve had an exciting June. We’ve looked at pirates and crystals. We’ve had fun with

water on Wednesdays. We’ve also said goodbye to Pippa and Lucy. July promises to be

just as busy! We’ll have our annual assessment on the 11th. We’ll continue to have water

play on Wednesdays.

Please remember to wash your hands and remind your child to wash their hands right

when entering the room.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let us know!

Thank you,

Anna and Beth

Toddler 1 Hello Toddler-One Families,

Wow it is hard to believe that we are into the month of July! July is such a

busy month. We will celebrate America’s Birthday as well as explore a

beach and ocean theme for the month. We will also have more fun in the

sun with Water Day Activities on July 2nd and July 16th. On Tuesday July

10th we will have our annual 3- Star Assessment. Our floors will be

waxed sparkling clean on Friday July 20th. These days can be somewhat

stressful for staff, but we will do our utmost to keep things routine and

calm for the children.

As we enter July, T1 would like to welcome Emersen Merriman to

our classroom. We are excited to have Emersen as well as her family

join us. As always, we would like to thank you all for giving us the op-

portunity to learn and grow with your children. Please let us know should

you have any questions or concerns.

Dear PreK Up families,

The weather may be hot but we’re staying cool so far! We learned so much

about the rainforest and now we get to move on to our lessons for July which in-

clude America, and a big theme on the ocean. I’m excited to share these subjects

with the kids! Note that we will be closed on the Fourth of July.

During the summer we have many students on vacation and/or staying more at

home. Please be sure that we are aware when your child will not be here so we

can plan accordingly. Thanks!

Later in July we will be having our annual Going Away Party for our rising kinder-

gartners. More details to come!

Please make sure your child wears weather appropriate clothing.

Also be sure your child’s extra set of clothing is weather appropri-

ate as well. We go outside unless it is above 95 degrees.

Lastly, thank you all for your support…it helps more than you can

know. We appreciate you!

Dear Preschool 2 Parents,

June has been a fun month as we talked about Water, Camping, and America.

Thank you to everyone who came to our Independence Party! The children were so excited to

show you their patriotic performance of “Yankee Doodle”, and I couldn’t be prouder of them!

July will bring us to the Deep Blue as we learn about the Ocean, the beach, and marine animals.

We will also review our Alphabet with an island twist in “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom”.

Just to let you know the school will be waxing floors the weekend of the 20th. So that you are

not surprise to see us moving things out, or an empty classroom on that Friday’s pick-up.

UTCCC will be closed Wednesday, July 4th for Independence Day. I hope everyone has a Happy

Fourth of July!

Just a reminder- to wash hands (yours and your child’s) upon entering the

classroom, even if they have washed in another classroom. Thank you for your

help on this!

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Mrs. Leah and Ms. Katie

Dear Pre-K Downstairs Parents,

It is so hard to believe it is already July! This month, we will be learning about Amer-

ica, the beach, and the ocean. We should have water days on Tuesday, July 3rd and

Wednesday, July 18th.

We will also have a “Happy Birthday, America,” picnic on Tuesday, July 3rd, at 3:30.

Parents and siblings are welcome to come join us. We will have snacks and juice,

and play outside. Please sign up on the list posted outside the classroom door if

you would like to help with this. If the weather is bad, we will make it an indoor

picnic. Remember that The UTC Children’s Center will be closed on Tuesday, July

4th, in observance of Independence Day.

Our assessment day should be in July. Please help us by remembering to follow

rules, such as labeling all food items and having your child wash hands upon en-

tering the classroom (even if they have visited and

washed in another room).

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Taylor
