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.

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.

Mark your Calendars for the evening of December 11th at 6:00pm 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. Ticket for that event will go on sale next week.

Thank you for taking the time for conferences this week, your support and involvement is important to your child having a successful school year. Our school has the BEST parents ever!
