Is spring here or is Mother Nature just teasing us again? We’re starting our spring cleaning early by giving all our classrooms a fresh coat of paint. It is a great time to refresh and renew decorations and interest areas in our environments. This month the letters we are focusing on are Q, R, and S so our interest areas include themes having to do with Outer Space, Scales, Rocks and Restaurant. We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Tues., Feb. 14. Please ask your child’s teacher about plans for that day. If your child is attending kinder-garten fall 2012 and has not gone through preschool screening they need to do so. This is a requirement before entering kndg. Contact Chisago Lakes Family Center at 651-213-2600 to set up a time. Some upcoming dates for screenings are Feb. 9, March 8, April 12 and May 31.
