registration for next school year.

It's registration time again! We would love to have your little cutie in our class for the 2013-2014 school year. Class always fills up fast and we only have one class, with no more than 12 students, so you know your little one will not get lost in the shuffle of a busy preschool!

Class next year will be held Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9:00am - 11:00am. Tuition is $85.00 a month. Registration fee is $35.00. (you can opt to do a two day a week class for $70.00 a month but the three day is encouraged so they do not miss out on anything) we follow the Davis County School System Calendar.

We would love to have your child in class. Please take time to look around the blog and see what we do here. We are located in the heart of Layton.

Please call Miss Hanah @ 801-721-6631 or email me at butterfliesandbullfrogspreschool (at) yahoo (dot) com

my house, your house theme

We have been enjoying learning about homes this December! We have learned about birds and their nests. The kids made the cutest nests! We made some great fox masks when we learned about foxes. And some fun fish bowls. Today we made snakes! and worked on our pattern making with the designs on the snakes.

We have also been talking about Christmas and made some fun reindeer and a cute little Santa. They are so excited about Christmas!

We have finished learning about our straight letters. So far we have learned k, l, t, v, w, x, y, and, z. Today we finished our circle letters c, and o. Now we will be combining those skills into circle and line letters. Starting with A, a on Monday!

I hope the kids have been enjoying the Baggie books! Remember its mostly pre-reading skills right now and learning to be responsible for things. Please please please do not let your child color in the books, get them wet, or bend them. Take care of them. They seem to be taking on some serious wear this year. The whole class shares a set, so remember to bring them on Monday's. if your child doesn't bring their book back, it makes another child have to wait to borrow it. I will try to switch them out on Mondays if I don't get to them, then they will be sent out on Wednesday.

January calendars were sent out today so hopefully you all got it. Don't forget to check for our field trip, and check when you have snacks. And don't forget we have show and tell every Wednesday. 

they have been so much fun lately!

date correction

Today I sent home a notice for the Thanksgiving favorites feast. I put the wrong date on there. it is NOT on the 21st, it will be on the 19th as the calendar stated. sorry about the confusion!

also i sent home book orders for November for scholastic. do not feel obligated to order anything, it is just a cheap, fun way to get books for your kids.

halloween party!

It was a fun Halloween party! hope everyone enjoyed it. ! 

November is here.

November is here! In November we are learning about our colors. And our shapes. We will be learning about one color everyday and making something with a shape. If you would like to, you can have your student wear the color of the day to class. That's always fun!

I will be sending home Baggie books soon. They are the Sam or the bob books, simple readers. These are the same books they use in kindergarten. I know some of the kids are not ready for them and some are. So please let me know if you would like me to start sending them home or not.

For those who have kids that are still learning their letters please make sure you are working with your children on their letters at home as well. They need repetition. If you need any ideas on how to help your student at home, let me know I would be glad to help!

Don't forget, there is no school on this Monday, Nov. 5th. As Davis County School District is having their teacher prep day.

Thanks for all you do! As they say practice makes progress!

happy hallooooweeeeeeen!

We have been busy busy around here. We did a mini unit on apples. We worked hard on our scissor skills and I think they are doing great! We cut out an apple and glued the apple puzzle back together. Another day we cut out number apples and matched them with number blocks on the apple tree. We told the story of a little red house with no windows and a star inside. Then cut open an apple to find the star inside. Today we measured each other to see how many apples we are tall. They liked that!

We have learned about letter v and we are working on the letter w. I also started sending homework. Thanks for everyone for your help with that. I will be sending home Baggie books soon!

As we are headed into cold and flu season I ask that you please remember to keep your student home if they are sick. We want to keep our classroom healthy. Thanks everyone for your understanding with me canceling school when I was sick. I did not want to pass that on. But I want to reassure you I have not canceled school like that before and hopefully we can keep a healthy class so I won't have to again.

I have sent home the November calendar make sure you get it out of their back pack. And don't forget that the Halloween party is Wednesday! Can't wait to see them all in their costumes!

Thanks for all you moms do!

our big big world.

October has been fun. we are learning all about our big big world. we learned about space, and our planet. then all the countries and that we live in America. We learned our Pledge of Allegiance. we learned about Utah, about our neighborhoods, our houses, and our families. today we learned about our phone numbers. I went over each of their phone numbers with them individually, but please make sure you go over their phone numbers and their address with them at home. Those are two of the things they need to know for kindergarten, and they are also one of the harder things for the kids to remember so repetition is important!

Thanks to all of you for coming to the pumpkin patch field trip! It was so much fun! We have been enjoying some fun Halloween songs! you should have your student sing them to you, they are great singers! 

For Halloween we will be having a class party! Make sure your student is dressed in their costume! We will be "trick or treating" to each other and practicing safe trick or treating so send a treat with your student. it will be fun! 

I will be sending home homework starting next week. please have your child do what they can on it and bring it back so they can get a sticker on their homework. i know some of them are not ready for homework, and that is okay. Just the act of taking it and bringing it back teaches them responsibility. So don't forget to check their backpacks. 

And don't forget there will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow. Enjoy your day off. 

Thanks!
