Happy 2019

Happy New Year to all and we send our wishes for a wonderful year ahead.

Who would think that we would have to be making snow in January? Typically we just go outside and fill a bucket with snow, but…not this year, so far. So for projects our classes are making snow out of all kinds of materials including shaving cream, cotton, ivory snow, ice and water. The children are having lots of fun manufacturing snow, but certainly they would like to put all that snow gear on and play in real snow.

Our month so far has been loads of fun including activities about bears, snow people, mittens, hot chocolate, snowflakes, penguins and lots more. Our letters for the month are I, J and K and we will include a day about Martin Luther King and kindness to go along with the letter K.

Later this month our 3 year old students will culminate their bear unit with a Teddy Bear Picnic. They can bring in their favorite stuffed animal, who will share the day with them and have a picnic for snack.

Our dance classes with Miss Rebecca started this month and the children are enjoying going up to the auditorium and running and dancing to all kinds of fun music. This is great for the children to be able to run and play, as they can’t always go outside when the weather is too cold. We will enjoy Miss Rebecca all this month and February and March. Looking forward to lots of dancing.

So all in all we are looking forward to a wonderfully busy month filled with lots and lots of creative activities.

I am scheduling tours for the 2019-2020 school year. Please give us a call at 603-882-1041 to ask any questions about our programs and we can set up a tour.

Best regards,

Chris

Holiday greets from CWG-WWS

 

How did we get to the mHoliday-Glitters-26onth of December already? The magic is certainly happening at our school. If you drive by the school, you can see trees, lights and candy canes in all the windows. How colorful and festive they look. The children are so proud of their accomplishments, telling me every time I go into the classroom which piece of art is theirs. There is glitter and joy all around!!

Yesterday Rev. Allison came in to read to our classes which was so much fun. She read a beautiful book called The Christmas Wish, which the children truly enjoyed. We thank her for taking time out of her day to join us. What a treat.

The children have been busily practicing songs for their Holiday Performances, later this month. Parents get ready for some awesome singing and adorable props that the children are working hard making. They are also making surprise gifts for their families. Wait until you see them. Beautiful!!

Registration has started with forms going home this week to our current families, alumni and siblings. Registration for the public will start later this month. Please make sure to call for a tour if you are interested in seeing our school. The number is 882-1041 or email me at chrisclanin@comcast.net and I will get back to you to answer any questions you may have. You can look at our section on this website on enrollment and tuitions to see our program offerings and tuition rates for the 2019-2020 school year. 

We wish each and every family a wonderful and joyous Holiday season and we hope you have a wonderful 2019.

Warm regards,

Chris

Autumn at CWG-WWS

Hello all,fallletters

We have all settled into our school routine and the children are having so much fun. Many activities are planned for the month of October. Our 4 year olds will venture out on a field trip to Brookdale Fruit Farm in Hollis. They will go on a hayride, find their way through the corn maze and pick some tasty apples to bring back to school. Sounds like a busy morning.

School pictures were taken this week, so the school was filled with lots of smiles. Can’t wait to see how they turn out.

Parents, get ready for a showcase of art on Thursday Oct. 18 for Open House. The children have been working so hard on projects. These will all be on display along with lots of pictures of the children engaging in their daily activities. One of those activities was today. The children were talking about cows and they taste tested three different kinds of milk. After surveying the children, I think the favorite was the chocolate milk. That’s no surprise!!

Welcome to CWG-WWS

welcometopreschool

Welcome to all of our families. It is great to have all the children here at school. We extend a huge welcome back to our returning students and a warm welcome to our new families.

The first week of school has gone exceptionally well. It’s like the children have all been here for awhile. They seem so comfortable and eager to learn and play. Even our new 2 year old friends are doing such a great job adjusting to their new surroundings. They have been learning “I’m a Little Teapot” and having tea parties to go along with it and they are having so much fun painting. I knew they were painting with green today as there were all little green paint marks on the floor outside their classroom. Always a good sign that they’re having fun.

happysummerHello to all of our families and future families,

What a wonderful year we had in 2017-18. We ended our year with an outdoor day celebration for our 2 and 3 year old students and their families. It was a beautiful day filled with face painting, sand and water play, bubbles, beanbag games, popsicles and all kinds of fun. For our 4 year olds we had an unbelievable graduation filled with songs, artwork, diplomas, cake and lots of family fun. We thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful children with us and for children going off to Kindergarten and Pre K classes we wish you the best. We will certainly miss our families who are moving on and hope that you come back to visit us.

 

After graduation we had two weeks of summer camp. Our first week was Kids Crazy Concoctions and it was filled with science experiments and activities related to water, volcanoes, rainbows, bugs and the five senses. The experiments were so exciting, predicting outcomes and watching what happens, for example in one experiment, when you add mentos to a bottle of soda. WOW now that was a sight to see. Lots of squeals of excitement and laughter ensued. Our second week of camp was entitled Preschool Picassos. Art abounded during the week decorating smocks, collaging with various materials, painting with a wide variety of textures, creating with nature and even drawing upside down like Michelangelo. Both weeks were unforgettable and we had so much fun with the children.

We had such a great year and we so look forward to our students returning and welcoming new students and families to our school. This ends our second year as a merged school and it is such a wonderful place with so much happiness and laughter. Have a wonderful and sunny summer!

Warm regards,

Chris

 

March at CWG-WWS

Hello to all of our families,

Well I hope that you all are doing ok after yesterday’s storm. This has been an interesting winter, to say the least.

Wacky Wednesday was a huge success with lots and lots of crazy hairdo’s. The children really enjoyed seeing each other and the teacher’s hair so wacky.

I am writing to you to make sure you are aware of various events going on in the classrooms and also things that are going on for families this month. We have a fun month planned and the following are dates to remember:

  • Thursday March 15 Parent Teacher conferences for MIss Meghan & Miss Catherine’s 3 year olds. Sign up genius has gone out to all of you to sign up for times that are convenient for you. If you did not receive this, please let Meghan know so that you can sign up. School will be in session on this day and Mrs. Murphy and Miss Rachael will be subbing in Miss Meghan/Miss Catherine’s room.
  • Monday 3/19-Friday 3/23 we will be hosting a Scholastic Book fair. Nothing better than new books to read. These books are quality books with fair prices and 1/2 of the sale proceeds are distributed among the teachers to purchase books for the classrooms. Mrs. Coumas and I will be at the bookfair in the mornings at drop off, if that is a good time for you and your child to make a purchase. We will be open all during Open House on Thursday evening for families to attend also.
  • Thursday 3/22 from 6:00-7:30pm will be our Spring Open House. Drop by any time between 6 and 7:30 to browse in the classrooms to see the children’s artwork and talk with teachers, myself and other families. Children are invited to come along and can be comfy wearing their pj’s. We will be having a scavenger hunt that will wind around the building going from the classrooms, to the book fair, to a cozy area to read books and then ending in our hall for refreshments. This will be such a fun night. Hope to see everyone there. The whole family is invited.
  • Wednesday 3/21 will be Beach Day for our 4 year old students. The classrooms will be transformed into the “beach” and the children will be making their own sand cups for snack. The children can wear beach gear and bring in beach towels if they would like.
  • Friday 3/23 will be Parent Teacher conferences for all classes except for Miss Meghan/Miss Catherine’s 3’s. Sign up genius has also been emailed to you for sign up times. If you did not receive this, please get in touch with your child’s teacher to sign up for a conference. School will not be session on this day, as all teachers will be busy with conferences. This is an adult only time, however if you are bringing your children Mrs. Kupchik and MIss Chrissy will be available to watch your children. All conferences will take place in your child’s classroom except for Miss Meghan & Miss Catherine’s 4’s. They will take place in a conference room on the main floor of the building. As you come into the building from the parking lot take a left and the conferences will take place in room 6 which is the first room on the right.

The sound in CWG-WWS is the most wonderful sound with all the chatting and laughter going on.

I have attached a flyer for our fundraiser at Margarita’s on Thursday Feb. 8. Remember that this is for dine in and take out. Just as long as you show them the flyer, we will receive 20% of the sales. I’ll be there with my family around 6 and hope to see lots of our families there.

Happy 2018

Hello all,

Well, the end of December and beginning of our New Year have certainly brought us some variety of weather. We have gone from 6 degrees up to 50 degrees within a short period of time. However with this warmer weather comes the opportunity to take the children outside for lots of snow play. Take a peek at our facebook page to see all of the wonderful pictures of the children playing in the snow. What unbelievable fun they have had, making snow angels, sliding down snow hills, jumping in the snow piles and we are hearing lots and lots of squeals of laughter. This is the perfect combination of good snow and warmer weather to play in it.

Holiday greetings!!

 Hello all,   holidaycheer

Well let me tell you, this school is full of Holiday bustle. Between making gifts, practicing songs for Holiday Performances and decorating the classrooms, we have all kinds of wonderful activities going on. Wait until you see your gifts,  they are the best.

Make sure you read your child’s December newsletter. It is chock full of dates and information for activities during the month.

There will be PJ parties, Polar Express Days, color days, letter days and learning about Hanukkah, Candy canes, reindeer, gingerbread and many more topics. It is a fun time to be in preschool (although it’s always fun being in preschool)!

Let me remind you of our Holiday shows. They will take place on Tuesday 12/19 and Wednesday 12/20 from 9-10am. Please look at your child’s invitation that came home this week, to see which day their class’ show is.

We have received a few gift cards for the Nashua Children’s Home. If you are able to contribute for a child’s Holiday gift please send in a gift card by Friday December 15. Teachers will be bringing the gift cards over to the NCH that day and we would like to contribute as much as we can.Thank you for anything you can do.

Registration forms went home this week and are due back by Monday December 18. After this time, registration will be open to the public. Please keep in mind that if your child is going off to Kindergarten and you need after school care, they can join our Discovery program with Miss Chrissy. Just fill out the registration form and circle which days you think they will be coming. This can be changed once school starts .We would love to see the children back at our school for afternoons.

We are in need of refreshments and goodies for the Holiday shows. If you would like to bring in some Holiday baked goods, please let me or your child’s teacher know and you can just bring them in the morning of the show.

The staff of CWG-WWS truly wishes you a very Happy Holiday Season and a wonderful 2018.  We so love and enjoy your children and all of you and look forward to seeing you in the New Year.

Warm regards,

Chris

 

 

November greetings

Hello to all of our CWG-WWS families,            thankful

Well that was certainly an interesting month, weather wise, in October. We hope that you all have power restored to your homes. I guess one saving grace is that it wasn’t snow.

As you can see from reading the November newsletter, we have a very busy month planned.  This morning we had the pleasure of having two of our Dads, Joe Rousseau and Brent Osborn come in to talk to the children, to go along with our Community Heroes theme. Joe is a Nashua Police Officer and Brent is a Veteran who served in Iraq and Korea. Thank you both for such a wonderful presentation.  We want the children to learn that there are such great people in our community who help protect us and keep us free.  Continue reading →
