![]() ![]() The Early Childhood Physical Activity Institute was just wonderful! Thank you again for including me in such an important effort to create and sustain leaders in EC physical activity. I am always trying to find new little ways to get the kids moving. Britney was great and I learned a lot from her. I feel like singing my instructions and dancing my actions helps them to focus better on what I need for them to do. When I am at work with my little ones we stay busy all day. I liked Brittney, she reminded me of myself as far as being very active and motivated. I am really looking forward to taking my kit to work and sharing it with my staff. I would have loved it more if I had the other teachers from my center there also. I wish I had the knowledge I gained from this class, to have made it more exciting. I got them up to play Simon Says and Red Light Green Light, however, after that I was stuck on what to do. When I got there the kids were watching a movie. On Friday, I volunteered at a Parents Night Out through my daughter's school. This class was informative, and I look forward to being physically active with young children. Plenty of Resources That I Can Use and Share.You’re doing amazing work and I hope I’ll be able to continue contributing to it a bunch in the future. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the experience. Thank you for inviting me to be part of this year’s Institute. Early Childhood Physical Activity Institute.I will share this information with my friends that have children such as yoga animals, or Simon Says. A change that I will make in my own life is to be more active, as well as my daughter. It was interesting to discover that you can do just about anything with children in the classroom where there may not be much space to encourage them to be active. Preservice Teachers Learn to Use Be Active Kids in Limited Spaces.Preschool newsletters to send to parents are an essential part of the communication between preschool and each family. Everyone gets the same information at the same time and things keep running smoothly. Newsletters are a helpful tool for parent communication. If you do it weekly, sending one home on Fridays for the upcoming week lets families plan things over the weekend. That can be a great time to send the newsletters home. Sending a monthly newsletter home on the first preschool day of the month is consistent with monthly payments. You can also announce at pick up time that you have included the upcoming newsletter in the child’s backpack or take home folder. Sending newsletters home at about the same time each week or month gets parents in the habit of looking out for them. Then parents see it right away and can add events to their calendar as needed. I also recommend adding the most important information first. You need to make sure you include all of the important information, but if you add too much parents may not read to the end. INFORMATIVE NEWSLETTERSĪfter you create the design for your newsletter you’ll need to add the information. You can also create a preschool newsletter using a free app called Canva. Look on Pinterest, Teachers Pay Teachers, or Google you can also ask other teachers that you know if they have one that they like. You can find templates for your newsletters in many places. You can always change it later if your first choice doesn’t work. Each program is different and the frequency of newsletters can vary. If your program is 6 hours a day every day, you may choose a weekly newsletter. If you are a program that is for 2-3 hours a couple of days a week, you may only need a monthly newsletter. You can also choose how frequently you send out your newsletter. You need to choose how detailed you’d like your newsletter to be and what information best suits your families. You could also add a wish list for classroom items, activities you are doing or books that you are reading. Some of the topics you may want to include in a newsletter are themes, letters and numbers you are learning, field trips, Important dates, days school is closed, birthdays, parent tips/tricks, resources to encourage further learning at home. To communicate your plans for each month you may want to create a newsletter to share with families. They want to know what activities they were engaged in, what their favorite thing to do at school is, what are they learning, if they are making friends. Parents love to know what their kids are doing when they are away from them. ![]()
