Miss. Schroder

Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Clark Pre-K
     As the saying goes, Happy Fall Y’all! September has been a great month and the kids are doing great in the classroom. As we continue to move forward with our letters and numbers, please be sure to reinforce what we are doing in the classroom at home also. Learning is a continuous thing and the more consistency the kids have with what we are learning, the quicker things will begin to click for them. Like I have said before, we are a TEAM working together for your child’s success.
     As the temperatures continue to dip into some nice, but cooler, temperatures, please remember to pack light jackets for the kids. I would like to make sure they get outside to play whenever possible, but if it is on the chilly side and everyone doesn’t have a jacket, then it won’t be possible to go outside. I also tend to keep the classroom on the chilly side (there is always a window open), so having sweaters available in the classroom is also nice for when the kids get chilly.

     We will be having a spirit week the week of October 28th along with our Fall Festival on
Wednesday, October 30th. Please continue to look at Class Dojo for more information regarding this week in mid-October. Also, I post several updates on what we are doing in the classroom, but I also post lots of information for you as well. So it’s always a good idea to keep checking out our class on Class Dojo.
     If you ever need anything from me, please do not hesitate to contact me through Class Dojo messaging. I may not always respond immediately, but I try to respond as soon as I can.
Many Blessings,
Ms. Nowak & Mrs. Clark

September 2024

Welcome to Spin Kemp Christian Preschool! We are looking forward to an amazing school year! Preschool starts on Tuesday, September 3rd for our M-Th/F students. Our M,W, F students will start on Wednesday, September 4th. Doors open at 8:25am.       Just a few housekeeping things.
Please remember tuition is due Sept 5th! Checks and payment envelopes can be dropped into the mailbox just inside the preschool entrance. Cash and payment envelopes should be brought to the office for a receipt.

     We are a nut-free school! We have a few with allergies this year. So please be mindful when sending in your child's snacks.
All classrooms have refrigerators, so string cheese, yogurt, and fresh fruit can be sent in and remain cold until snack time.

     Paperwork- please make sure you get your child's physical and shot record as soon as possible. Our licensing does allow 30 days from the program start, but once that hits your child will not be able to return until the form is turned in.

     My name is Carol Boersma. This is my 5th year as director of Spin Kemp. I have had 3 out of 4 children come through this preschool. My husband retired from the Air Force back in 2017. In 2019, we made Beavercreek our forever home. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education from Trocaire College (Buffalo, NY). I have worked in a few different style centers until our oldest was born. I was a stay-at-home mom for many years until I began subbing in 2018. My door is always open if you ever need to chat!

     Ms. Nowak is our PreK teacher. This is her 5th year as lead teacher in PreK. Did you know that she is a pilot? But what does she fly? I am sure you’ll figure it out quickly!
Mrs. Clark is the aide in the PreK class. She is new to Spin Kemp but she has worked with children for a few years. She is super creative!

Ms. Schroder is our Middler teacher. She has been with us since 2016. She has been lead teacher in both the early beginner class and the middler class. She is very active here at Spinning Road Baptist. You’ll often find her teaching Awana and VBS!

     Mrs. Martell is planning to return to us closer to Late November/early December to be our early beginner teacher.

     Finally, we have some amazing substitutes to our preschool! Mrs. Adducchio, Mrs. Linden
and Mrs. McEltoy

God Bless,

We hope to have some enrollment for this class to start in early December!

Ms. Schroders Middlers

Welcome to a new school year!
It is so good to see your children for the year! We will be learning our letters, numbers, shapes, & colors. We will practice recognizing and writing our names, cutting with scissors, and using glue. For September we will start with vowels A, E, I & O; the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, & 4; the colors yellow, blue, red, & green; and the shapes square and circle.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me through Class Dojo or talk to me in person.

Please remember to pack a full change of clothes (Shirt, shorts/pants/skirt/dress, socks, underwear).

God Bless,
Ms. Schroder

Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Clark PreK

     Welcome back to school! I can’t believe summer is already over, but here we are! We are very excited to meet everyone and see all the new friendships start to bloom and old ones rekindled!
     September will be a busy month, and we will dive right in! We will start with some basic skills (names, colors, shapes, tracing, etc.) then we will move into our weekly letters and numbers.
     Please be sure to read all the paperwork sent home in your yellow folders, but please keep the folders in your child’s bag. I will use them to send home their daily work.
     I am a big advocate for fresh air. Whether it is getting the kids outside or having a window open in our classroom, even if it is a little chilly in the mornings, I will still try to get the kids outside (as long as it is not wet), so please pay attention to the temperatures and send light jackets or sweaters when they are needed.

Don’t forget to accept the Class Dojo invite in your emails. I will use this tool in daily communication with everyone. One thing I forgot to mention in the paperwork, for security purposes, only parents of the kids in the class will be allowed to be on Class Dojo.
We are excited to see what this month brings us. The lasting friendships that are formed in the early weeks warm our hearts so much. If there is anything you have concerns about, please do not hesitate to reach out to us, via Class Dojo.
Thank you for the chance to get to know you and your child. We are excited to see everyone’s
growth this year.

God Bless

It is hard to believe that we are now at the end of the school year, but here we are! It feels like just yesterday we started school.
The kids have all grown so much and exceeded all expectations. We are incredibly proud of each kid.
This month is going to be in full blown cheetah speed (I use this term with my own kids). We will be having a lot of things happening, Trike-A-Thon, Field Day, Preschool graduation, and Last Day Luau Party. I cannot stress this enough, but please keep
an eye on Class Dojo in the next couple of weeks. A lot of information will be on there for you.

We will be finishing up our alphabet and our numbers up to 25, as well as adding in weeks of review. We will continue to work on other concepts – simple adding, sequencing, comparing, patterns, and rhyming.
     The kids have proved repeatedly that they are ready for kindergarten in the fall and while we are sad to see them leave, we also excited for their new adventures and all the new knowledge they will gain.
     A lot of information will be thrown at you in the next couple of weeks. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
     As we are at the end of the year, we want to take this opportunity to thank you, the parents. You have supported the kids throughout the year and we are incredibly grateful for that. Thank you for coming together with us to make sure the kids are fully prepared for kindergarten. We would not be as successful as we are without you. So thank you for all you have done this school year.

With a Grateful Heart,
Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Martell

thru 25.
     We will continue to practice our cutting skills, with even more cutting activities.
     No School April 8, the Librarian comes Wednesday, April 10 and Music with Pastor is Wednesday, April 17.
Thank you and God Bless,

  Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Martells Pre-K

Happy Spring! I’m not sure about you, but I am so ready for the warmer weather to be here.
Please remember that while the weather is warming up, please continue to have the students bring a light jacket or hoodie. When we have our scheduled playtime, it can still be a little chilly and I would like to get the kids outside as much as possible.
     We will be getting into the full swing of things as we prepare to close out this school year (it will be here before any of us realize it!). We will continue working on our alphabet and numbers. We will also continue to work on some simple math, beginning sounds, missing letters and numbers, etc., as well as introducing sequencing.

On a personal note from Ms. Nowak…. April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month. As you all know, my son is Autistic, so this month is very personal and special to me. Awareness and acceptance are two very separate things. Awareness is easy – you just acknowledge someone is different then you and move on. Acceptance takes work, effort. Acceptance comes from a place of understanding – understanding that another classmate or person is different from you but still asking to play with them (or them with you), sitting with them at lunch and talking, just being a good friend to them and including them. As I have found through my son’s experiences, many school kids have a lack of knowledge about disorders such as Autism, and that lack of knowledge can lead to bullying or singling someone out all because they are the “weird kid.” As adults, we are aware of such disorders, but we often forget to talk to our children about them. As we go through this month, I urge you to talk to your children. Inform them. Educate them. Encourage them to be a friend to the “weird kid”. Encourage them to be a friend to everyone even when their likes don’t align. Talk to them and reassure them that it is OK for people to be different and develop different.
If you have any questions, I am always willing to talk. I don’t have all the right answers, but I can definitely share my family’s story. There is a meme on Facebook that says “I am not an expert on autism.
     I am an expert on MY CHILD with autism” and that is 100% correct.
   “I do not suffer from Autism, but I do suffer from the way you treat me.” - Tyler Durdin
   “I don’t talk about Autism for sympathy or pity. I talk about Autism to spread awareness and acceptance for those children and adults that are just as important as you or me.”

Happy spring!
I can’t believe it is already March. Only a few more months left of school.
We are going to start off the month with Dr. Seuss theme for the first week. Then the rest of the month will be all about Easter. For Bible time I will be going over the Easter story and talking about what Jesus did for us. Since the kids all seem interested in trying to write their name I am going to have them practice tracing the letters of their names. We will also continue practicing with scissors.
We will have a Leprechaun Hunt on March 15th. I will plan a St. Patrick’s Day craft and a little snack that day.

March 18th we will have our spring pictures.
     March 20th will be our Egg Hunt. I will have more information about that closer to that time.
    March 25th -April 1st is our spring break.
     Hopefully, we will have some warmer days this month to get the kids outside to play. Please make sure to bring jackets just in case we decide to go out.

Thanks,
Mrs. McElroy

Ms. Schroders Middlers

We will continue with our letters B, Q, J, & Z numbers 18, 19, & 20, trapezoid, and the colors green and yellow. This month we will have our Leprechaun Hunt and Egg Hunt.
Easter Break is March 25 thru April 1, returning April 2 or 3.

Happy Easter and God Bless,
Ms. Schroder

Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Martell’s Pre-K
We are progressing nicely through our alphabet and numbers. We will continue to work on patterns and rhyming while introducing sequencing and missing letters/numbers. After looking at the assessments, we will regain some focus on recognizing numbers some more.
Mid-March will bring us school pictures (along with graduation pictures), a Leprechaun Hunt for St. Patrick’s Day, Egg Hunt for Easter and then Spring Break. I have a feeling March is going to zoom past us in no time with so much going on.

Hopefully, the weather will continue to get nicer and nicer and we will be able to spend more time outside playing. Please make sure you send the kids with jackets in case we go outside. I always tell the kids that they have to take their coats outside with us, but they don’t always have to wear them.
Thank you for all you do with your kids at home and reiterating what we are learning. We really appreciate you guys teaming up with us to make sure the kids are successful this year.
The end of the year will be here before we know, so let’s keep the momentum going.
Much Love,
Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Martell

      Conferences are scheduled Thursday, February 15th and Friday, February 16th. Teachers will also have a sign up for that. There is no school on those days. If you need to bring your student or siblings, just let us know. We will put some toys out for them.     We also offer phone conferences as well. It’s important to see where your child stands academically and see what needs to be worked on.

Continuation forms will be available at conferences. If you plan to have your child return, please fill one out. We do require a $50 nonrefundable deposit to hold your child’s spot for   Fall 2024. Current students get priority for next school year. Open registration for the general public will begin Friday, March 1st.

Hello,
     Happy Valentine’s Day! This month we are going to go over the letter H, F, D, and X. Our theme for the first couple weeks will be Valentine related. We will go over the heart shape and the color pink.
     February is national children’s dental health month so I thought it would be fun to do a theme on dental health and the body the second half of the month.
     Our Valentines party will be on the 14th. I will have a signup sheet for snacks by the door. You can bring valentine cards in for the party. They just need to write who it is from not who it is going to.
We will make bags in class for them to put their cards in.
     We have parent teacher conference on the 15th and 16th there is no school on those days. I am going to have a signup sheet by the door for you to choose a time. Please let me know if you will have a child with you so I can sit something out for them to do. No school on February 19th due to Presidents Day.
     February can be a snowy month so watch for any delays or closings we might have. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Thanks, Mrs. McElroy

     Happy Valentine’s! It’s hard to believe we are heading into February already, but here we are.
We are going to start getting busy again. This month will probably go by very quickly with a lot of things planned. I will be starting the month with doing individual assessments on the kids to prepare for our parent teacher conferences mid-February.
     We will have our Valentine’s Day Party on Wednesday the 14th. The kids will be exchanging Valentine’s, and I would encourage you to have the kids write their names themselves on them. This will be great practice for them! More details for this will be posted to Class Dojo when it gets closer to the day.

There will be no school on Thursday, 2/15 and Friday 2/16 for Parent/Teacher Conferences (signups will be posted soon) as well as no school on Monday, 2/19 for President’s Day. For Parent/Teacher conferences, we encourage you to come sans children so we can focus on the task at hand in a timely manner.
     It may not seem like it now, but the end of the school year will be here before we know it and we still have a lot of material to cover. While we are seeing lots of growth in the kids (and that is so encouraging), you reinforcing what we are doing in the classroom is where the knowledge really gets cemented into the kids. This is a fast-paced classroom and that is only possible because of your help.
You are all rock star parents and I appreciate you so much.
     Please continue to look at Class Dojo for updates from me. Class Dojo is my primary source for communication with you. If we have any inclement weather, I will post our status on there as soon as I know.
     The rest of the school year is going to pass by us in no time. We have a lot of fun activities planned in the upcoming months that we are excited for. We are so encouraged with all the kids and the improvement we have seen. And knowing more improvement will still happen, is so exciting. Let’s all keep up the amazing work!

With Love,

     I am really excited about this month. We have it packed full of fun activities for the kids. The first up is Operation Christmas Child. Our class will be collecting items to put into shoeboxes (more information on this will come out soon!).
     Mid-month, we will be having a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Feast with our parents here at the school.
     This takes us right into Thanksgiving break. So as you can tell, we will have an action packed month.

Please keep working with the kids on what we are learning in the class. We are seeing lots of improvements already, and I know more is coming.
Keep bringing in coats and jackets for the kids. While we have nice days, I want to keep getting them outside as much as possible. We do have little kid rakes in the shed outside that the kids enjoy playing with, so I can’t wait to see them create leaf piles and jump into them during our outside play time.
Keep looking at Class Dojo for more details and updates as they come. You all are great at communicating with me when needed, and I greatly appreciate that and all of you.

Please, let me know if there is anything you need from me!

With Thanks,
Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Martell

     Look for a sign up to volunteer for our Fall Festival!
     Remember No School October 9!
     Fall Festival is October 25.

Thank you and God Bless,
Ms. Schroder

Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Martell’s Pre-K

As the saying goes, Happy Fall Y’all!

     September has been a great month and the kids are doing great in the classroom. As we continue to move forward with our letters and numbers, please be sure to reinforce what we are doing in the classroom at home also. Learning is a continuous thing and the more consistency the kids have with what we are learning, the quicker things will begin to click for them.
Like I have said before, we are a TEAM working together for your child’s success.
     As the temperatures continue to dip into some nice, but cooler, temperatures, please remember to pack light jackets for the kids.
I would like to make sure they get outside to play whenever possible, but if it is on the chilly side and everyone doesn’t have a jacket, then it won’t be possible to go outside. I also tend to keep the classroom on the chilly side (there is always a window open), so having sweaters available in the classroom is also nice for when the kids get cold.
      We will be having a spirit week the week of October 23rd along with our Fall Festival on Wednesday, October 25th. Please continue to look at Class Dojo for more information regarding this week in mid-October. Also, I post several updates on what we are doing in the classroom, but I also post lots of information for you as well. So it’s always a good idea to keep checking out our class on Class Dojo.
     If you ever need anything from me, please do not hesitate to contact me through Class Dojo messaging. I may not always respond immediately, but I try to respond as soon as I can.

Many Blessings,
Ms. Nowak & Mrs. Martell

Welcome to Spin Kemp Christian Preschool! We are looking forward to an amazing school year! Preschool starts on Tuesday, September 5th for our M-Th/F students. Our M,W, F students will start on Wednesday, September 6th. Doors open at 8:25am.

Just a few housekeeping things.

Please remember tuition is due Sept 5th! Checks and payment envelopes can be dropped into the mailbox just inside the preschool entrance. Cash and payment envelopes should be brought to the office for a receipt.
We are a nut free school! We have a few with allergies this year. So please be mindful when sending in your child's snacks. All classrooms have refrigerators, so string cheese, yogurt and fresh fruit can be sent it and remain cold until snack time.

Paperwork- please make sure you get your child's physical and shot record as soon as possible. Our licensing does allow 30 days from the program start, but once that hits your child will not be able to return until the form is turned in.

My name is Carol Boersma. This is my 4th year as director of Spin Kemp. I have had 3 out of 4 children come through this preschool. My husband retired from the Air Force back in 2017. In 2019, we made Beavercreek our forever home. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education from Trocaire College (Buffalo, NY). I have worked in a few different style centers until our oldest was born. I was a stay at home Mom for many years until I began subbing in 2018. My door is always open if you ever need to chat!

     Mrs. Nowak is our PreK teacher. This is her 4th year as lead teacher in PreK. Did you know that she is a pilot? But what does she fly? I am sure you’ll figure it out quickly!

     Mrs. Martell is the aide in the PreK class. You will see her on MWF. We are so glad to keep Mrs. Martell this school year. Hoping and praying the military doesn’t take her away!

     Ms. Schroder is our Middler teacher. She has been with us since 2016. She has been lead teacher in both the early beginner class and the middler class. She is very active her at Spinning Road Baptist. You’ll often find her teaching Awana and VBS!

     Mrs. McElroy is our early beginner class lead teacher. Last year she was aide to
Ms. Schroder but this year she is taking over the EB class. She is active in her
church’ kids program.

Finally, we have some amazing substitutes to our preschool! Mrs. Adducchio, Mrs. Linden and Mrs. Matthews.

Mrs. McElroys Early Beginners

Welcome to School!
     This month we will be focusing on getting to know each other and the routine. Our first theme will be all about me, then we will move on to feelings, and our 5 senses. We are going to work on getting to know what the first letter of their name is with different letter activities.
     Once a month we will have music with the Pastor and Library time with Mr. Isaac.
     Don’t forget to accept the Class Dojo invite. If you have any questions for me or concerns you can contact me through there or in person.
     Don’t forget to pack a change of clothes in the zip lock bag.
     Thank you for giving me the opportunity to teach your child. I am looking forward to this
school year.

  Ms. Schroder's Middlers

Welcome to a new school year!
     It is so good to see your children for the year! We will be learning our letters, numbers, shapes, & colors. We will practice recognizing and writing our names, cutting with scissors, and using glue.
For September we will start with vowels A, E, & I. The numbers 0,1, 2, & 3. The colors for this month will be yellow, blue, red, & green. Lastly, shapes this month are square and circle.
     If you have any questions feel free to contact me through Class Dojo or talk to me in person. Please remember to pack a full change of clothes (Shirt, shorts/pants/skirt/dress,
socks, underwear).

Mrs. Nowak and Mrs. Martell's PreK

     Welcome back to school! I can’t believe summer is already over, but here we are! We are very excited to meet everyone and see all the new friendships start to bloom and old ones rekindled!
     September is going to be a busy month and we are going to dive right in! We will start with some basic skills (names, colors, shapes, tracing, etc.) then we will move into our weekly letters and numbers.
     Please be sure to read all the paperwork sent home in your yellow folders, but please keep the folders in your child’s bag. I will use them to send home their daily work.

     I am a big advocate for fresh air. Whether it is getting the kids outside or having a window open in our classroom. Even if it is a little chilly in the mornings, I will still try to get the kids outside (as long as it is not wet), so please pay attention to the weather and send light jackets or sweaters when they are needed.
     Don’t forget to accept the Class Dojo invite in your emails. I will use this tool as daily communication with everyone. One thing I forgot to mention in the paperwork, for security purposes, only parents of the kids in the class will be allowed to be on Class Dojo.
     We are really excited to see what this month brings us. The lasting friendships that are formed in the early weeks warms our hearts so much. If there is anything you have concerns about, please do not hesitate to reach out to us, via Class Dojo.
     Thank you for the chance to get to know you and your child. We are really excited to see everyone’s growth this year.

Ms. Nowak and Mrs. Martell

I hope you all are enjoying your summer! It is going by so fast and before we know it, preschool will be back in session. I want to send along a copy of our tentative schedule for this coming year. Our first day back for our M-Th/F students will be Tuesday, September 5th, our MWF students start back on Wednesday, September 6th.

Mrs. McElroy has taken over our early beginner class this year. She was an awesome aide in our middler class last year. Mrs. Linden was our early beginner class teacher, has decided to take another position elsewhere. We do hope to see her as a sub now and then.
Ms. Schroder, Mrs. Nowak and Mrs. Martell will be returning this fall. We have an amazing preschool team!

Orientation is going to be held on Thursday, August 31st at 10 am,
we invite our students and their parents to come to orientation. Students that are enrolled will be dropped off to their classrooms to meet their teacher and fellow classmates. Parents will head to the fellowship hall for our orientation. Students will receive their school tote bag that morning as well. Please remember they need to bring their totes every time they come to preschool.

Tuition is normally due by the 5th of every month. As you can see on the calendar, we have you pay in advance of the month. First tuition is due by August 15, 2023. The next will be due by September 5, 2023. Tuition can be paid by check or cash. Cash can be brought to the office, so we can write a receipt. The office hours are M-F from 8-1.

Forms are due at the start of school. If you need a new medical form, please let me know.

I hope the last few weeks of summer are filled with fun! I look forward to meeting our new students and seeing all those returning to Spin Kemp.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. I can be reached at 937-256-7304 or by email at [email protected].
