Eaglet Gazette
Enfield Head Start, Integrated Pre-K, PK STEAM Academy
April 8, 2022
Greeting SELC PK Families,
It was great to see so many of you at the Arts Festival this past weekend! It was an honor to see our Eaglet's work displayed this year! Thank you for coming out and supporting our artists!
It doesn't feel possible that we are already heading into Spring Break! Whether you are traveling or staying local, I wish you a safe and relaxing week! If you are looking for some ideas to try with your Eaglet, here are some simple things you can do at home!
- Make a fort and read a book inside of it!
- Take the April Flip Grid Challenge and post! (See below for details)
- Plant some seeds and talk about how to care for plants!
- Have a board game day!
- Make a bird feeder! (There are lots of creative and simple ways you can do this! Painting a pine cone in Karo syrup or peanut butter and then rolling it in birdseed will do the trick!)
- Take a walk and chat about the signs of spring!
- For those of you with Eaglets heading to Kindergarten, the video portion of the BIG TRANSITION TO K event goes live on 4.11.22! Visit www.enfieldschools.org, www.enfieldkite.org, or use the QR code included in the flyer below to get to the video!
- Visit the Enfield Public Library (see the calendar of events for April posted below) or the Hartford Public Library (see the calendar of events for April posted below)!
REMEMBER: IF YOUR CHILD ATTENDS ENFIELD HEAD START, INTEGRATED PK, OR THE PK STEAM ACADEMY, you do NOT have to register your child for K as the PK registration will roll over to Kindergarten!
A FEW REMINDERS:
- No school for April vacation 4.11.22-4.15.22
- In the event you need to contact the school with COVID related questions or information, please email Nurse Jen jmaier@enfieldschools.org and Jaclyn Valley at jvalley@enfieldschools.org to ensure that we are able to respond in a timely manner.
