For families: what comes home from a theme week
Your child's room is doing a theme a week: apples, leaves, snow, the ocean. Here is what comes home, how to read it, and how to keep the week going at home.
The family note
A page by the door with the week's theme, the letter, the books, the song's words and two things to ask your child. Ask one of them in the car: it is the easiest way into “what did you do today?”.
The newsletter
One page from the room: what they did, what's coming, the reminders you need to act on, and the dates. If your room uses Peabody's newsletter maker, the theme and the song are on it too.
The daily slip
A small slip with ticks for meals, naps, diapers or the potty, and mood, plus a line on what they did. On the preschool slip, “ask me about” is a question your child can answer. Medicine is never on the slip: rooms keep their own medication log. See the slips.
The song
Every song is a traditional rhyme or one old enough to be in the public domain, so the words are printed for you. Sing it at bathtime or in the car; your child will probably know it better than you by Friday.
The books
The week's books are Peabody's own stories, free to read at peabody.kids on a phone or tablet, with no sign-in and no ads. Reading the same one again at home is the point, not a repeat. Every theme's books.
