October

Fall is upon us and I have lots of fun things planned. I love the fall and all the fall holidays. The leaves are changing colors and it is cooling off a little bit. It is a great time of year!

Our first holiday is Halloween. We will be taking a field trip to the pumpkin patch in October. I have tentatively scheduled a date for each class to go. (see the Oct. calendars) We will be doing this on a regular preschool day and will be gone during the regular class time. I will need at least one parent to go with me to help with the children and transportation. The children should wear their preschool t-shirts and some good walking shoes.

There will be no school October 16, 17, and 20th. It is fall break.

Our Halloween Parties will be on the 30th and 31st. Have your child wear their Halloween Costume to preschool and bring a bag of candy to share. They can bring a treat to share with the other children if they would like. We will be having a fun day and playing games and eating lots of junk.

Thanks for all your help and I love having all your children in preschool. They are all great!

Learning lots of new things!

We are getting into the school year and have been having lots of fun. We have had so much fun with our car theme. We made cars as we learned about obeying. We drove our cars all around the classroom and Ms. Sherri helped us remember the rules with our street signs. We love learning about new things and our favorite things to do are playing outside and snack time. We have made new friends and learned new songs and read some really great stories. We talked about the letter A this week and even made our own Apple Pies. Next week we will be learning about letter B.

The Beginning of a new school year!!!

It is the beginning of a new school year and I am excited to get started. We will be learning and doing a lot of fun things. Our theme for the year will be "We are on the road to Learning". I hope everyone has finished their cars. Parents I hope you have returned all the paper work to me. I am looking forward to a great year. Check here often and I will try to post updates about our schedule and things that are going on with our class. Don't forget to check your calendar to find out when your child has snacks. We have several birthdays we are celebrating in September. Happy Birthday E.J. (turned 5 in August), Cole(5), McGwire (5), and Austin (3). We are going to have great year. Welcome to Learnalot Preschool!!
