Hi Families,

The Family fun night was great. The kids made crafts and parents joined in, everyone enjoyed some cookies. Thanks to those that could make it out and spend the evening having some “Family fun”. Watch for the next one coming in January.

This is a super short week, only Monday and Tuesday as we take the rest of the week off to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. So we will be wrapping up our turkey activities and the theme of Thanksgiving.

The Bake sale is this week on Mon/Tues during school hours. We will be taking donations of baked goods both days. If you are more of a buyer of baked goods please come by and pick up some yummy treats for your family’s Thanksgiving celebration. Thanks for your support.

Mark your Calendars for the evening of December 11th at 6:00 pm as we present our winter concert to families. The Busy Bee Class will be joining with the Dragonfly and Sunshine classes on this night. We’ll be singing winter/holiday songs for your enjoyment and then afterward the scholastic book fair will be open for book buying. This is a fun night so be sure and plan to come.

Also in December is our “Santa Breakfast” which will be on Saturday the 7th. from 8:00-10:00 am. Tickets for that event will go on sale this week. Tickets will be $5 for a visit with Santa and a breakfast of pancakes,sausage,eggs and fruit. Everyone is invited, so tell friends and family. There will be no ticket sales at the door, so your going to have to plan ahead. We are in need of some Parent volunteers for this event, this is a great time to get some hours in. Check out the sign up sheet on the preschool office door.

Each year our school goes to see a play at Northwest Children’s Theater. This year we will be seeing “Goodnight Moon” on February 12th. The cost is $5 per person. As always,Parents are responsible for transportation and supervision during field trips. Watch for a sign up sheet so we can get an accurate count of who is coming along. We will collect money in January.

We will continue our canned food drive through December to fill food boxes for those in need during the Christmas holiday. We have talked about it in class and encourage you to help your child remember to bring in a canned food donation.

                      Have a wonderful Thanksgiving

Hi Families,

The house building last week was a favorite for everyone. The kids wrote some stories about their houses after painting them. They are excited to share them and take them home this week. Also a fun activity that we did last week was “Going on a bear hunt”, it’s a chant that takes us on an imaginary trip to find a bear. We also did an art project that went along with the chant. This week we are going to talk about the idea of “being Thankful” what it means,what kinds of things we have that we love or are important to us. Our school does a food drive each year before the holidays and we will be talking about this in the Busy Bee class and kids can bring donations and put them in the box in our classroom.We have some fun turkey themed art to do this week as well.

The November Family fun night is this week on Friday from 5:30-7:00. We will be hosting a “Make and take” craft night. With help from parents, kids will be able to do several holiday crafts, decorate a cookie and take a break with some holiday books. This is a time to be together and get a jump start on the holidays with some quality family time. Hope to see everyone there!

The Bake sale will be next week on Mon/Tues during school hours. We will be taking donations of baked goods both days. If you are more of a buyer of baked goods please come by and pick up some yummy treats for your family’s Thanksgiving celebration. Thanks for your support.

Hi Families,

Thank you so much for taking the time to come in for conferences last week. I  get to know your family better after this chance to talk about your Busy Bee. I feel like we have a super supportive group of families and am honored to be part of your kids learning. watch for a copy of the report card in cubbies this week. Remember there is no class Monday Nov.11th in honor of Veterans day.

We are going to be talking about houses and homes this week. We’ll be building our own houses with wood scraps and glue, then later in the week we will write some stories about our houses and paint them. This is a favorite project of mine, the kids love using “lots” of glue and getting to create some 3-D artwork. We will be looking for everyone to bring their “My family” paper back to school. The kids can either draw a picture of their family or print one out. Let me know if you have misplaced it need a new page.

November has some fun events coming up. Our Family Fun night this month will be a holiday “make and take” craft night. It will be on Friday, November 22nd from 5:30-7:00. This free event will include ornament making,reindeer food,cookie decorating and photo booth. The whole family is welcome to come get a jump on the holidays and spend some quality time together creating crafts. Also this month is the “Bake sale” on Mon/Tues Nov.25 & 26 during school hours. We will be taking baked donations to sell both days. If you aren’t a baker, then you can come and buy some goodies for your family Thanksgiving celebration! Either way, Thanks in advance for supporting our school.

Hi Families,

We had a fun party day last week ,wearing costumes and having yummy snacks. Now we are in November and have lots to talk about this month. We will start this week with our unit about “Families”. Everyone will be bringing home a “My Family” page to do at home. When it has been completed, send it back to school and your Busy Bee will tell the class about their family. The page will go in a class book about families and then in their portfolio at the end of the school year. Our focus about families will be that families look different , but all have people in them who love and care for each other. We will be adding to our family learning next week as we talk about homes.

This week is a short week due to Parent/Teacher conferences all day Thursday and no class on Friday. If you have still not returned the questionnaire page, please get that in Mon/Tues this week. If you are unable to keep your scheduled conference time,please text me or call the preschool office and leave a message. I will try my best to keep on time so you dont have to wait, so please be on time also. Kids can come along, I will leave that choice up to you.Sometimes it is more efficient to have our conversation without interruptions. I look forward to having some time to talk about the school year ahead and hearing about your Busy Bee.
