Jammie, Popcorn & Movie Day
We have scheduled our Jammie, popcorn & movie day for the Yellow and Orange classes on
Tuesday, Jan. 20th, and the Blue and Green classes on January 21st. The children are invited to wear their PJ’s to school and bring a special teddy or blanket to cuddle during our
movie. We will be showing one of our Curious George movie choices, approx. 12-15 min long,
and enjoying some popcorn...with dairy –free butter:)
Just a Reminder
Although we have set aside times for Parent/Teacher interviews this
spring, you are welcome to ask your child’s target teacher, or any of our
teachers, at any time for a “mini” update on your child’s progress.

Circle Time
Signs
I’m a little snowman, round and fat,
Here is my scarf and here is my hat.
When the sun comes out to have a chat,
Just watch me melt away like that!
Sing the last line slowly, and pretend
to melt!!!
(tune: I’m a little teapot)
Winter Weather
Winter weather conditions can change quickly! We would like to remind
you to send hats, mittens and boots as we do go outside most days!

Our Philosophy...
33345 2nd Ave
Mission BC
V2V 1K4
Here at Sandcastle Preschool, we believe that
children learn best when they are actively exploring materials and interacting with their peers in
an inclusive play setting. Most importantly we believe children’s learning should be FUN! Following
a play based model of early education, children
are encouraged to learn at their own pace.
Through play children develop intellectual and
physical skills, They also become more independent at problem solving, and learn important early
social skills.
