Busy Bee Newsletter For Oct. 13-17


Hi Families,
Last week-We did some fun apple tasting and art. We also had picture day,everyone looked great and brought their best smiles. We have had lots of talk about the pumpkin patch and farm. 
 This week-We are going to continue our Farm ,Apples and pumpkins themes as we get ready for our trip to the pumpkin patch this week. With only three days in class this week , we will be fitting in a bunch of activities.
Pumpkin patch: Our school will be going to the pumpkin patch this Thursday and Friday Oct. 16/17 @ 9:30 AM. There will be no class time on these days.Children need to have transportation and supervision provided by a parent(s). The cost is 
$5 per child. I was incorrect about LASPK paying for students, so I will be collecting money in class this week. If siblings would like to join in the fun they may pay $5 to get a pumpkin too. Anyone along for just the fun does not need to pay (no pumpkin). We go rain or shine and meet at the farm. Check out the link and see this venue that is new to our school this year.
Fundraisers-LAPSK is a non profit preschool, fundraising is an important piece to our program. Our current fundraisers are Kiggins Theatre, Usbrone book efair, scholastic books, Scentsy and box tops for education. (100% os scentsy sales are given to the school)
Family photos- We have a parent-photographer who is offering Family Pictures to the first 4 or 5 families that sign up.  She will donate 100% of the funds back to us!Pictures will be $150 for a 30 minute session on 11/8 from 9-11. A flier will go into cubbies, first come first serve.  
Thank you for supporting our school and making it a great place for kids to grow and learn!
Trunk or treat-The Church is sponsoring a fun family event called “Trunk or treat” on Sunday October 26th. The Parking lot will be filled with folks and their decorated “Trunks” for your kids to trick or treat at. LAPSK will have a trunk and the teachers will be dressed in costumes. Watch for a flyer in your kids cubbie box with the full info.
Classroom Halloween party-The Busy Bee class will have its party on Friday, October 31st. The kids can come to school in their costumes(Non-scary and no weapons). We will be walking across the street to Kindred to parade through and show the grandmas and grandpas how great we look in our costumes. Then we will have some party snacks and play some fun games. Watch for a sign up sheet to send a food item.
Fall parent/Teacher conferences-On November 6th there will be no class as we take time to have parent/teacher conferences. This is a great time to talk about how your child is adjusting to our classroom and to discuss goals for the rest of the school year. There will be a sign up sheet for a time and a paper coming home for you to let me know of questions or concerns you have. 
Sick kids- The cold/flu season is upon us and we want to keep our classroom as germ free as possible. We will be disinfecting and cleaning on a daily basis. You can help by having your Busy Bee wash hands before coming into class and keeping them home if they are showing signs of illness. We would like to keep track of illness, so giving the office a quick call to let us know or sending me a text or email would be helpful. Thanks for helping us keep a healthy environment to play and learn in.
Classroom Volunteering: Now that we have been in school almost a month, most kids have settled in. If you would like to volunteer in class and come see what your Busy Bee is doing, we would love to have you. I usually have some easy task that needs done, repairing books or prepping for upcoming activities. Your time in class is very helpful and you get a chance to see what our day is like and how your child is interacting. There is a sign up sheet in the hallway for dates/times. Thanks in advance for your support.
    Contact info: Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. I am fine with a text or a call or you can email. I am here to help you and your child have a great school year and feel honored that you have chosen us for your family’s preschool experience.

5 little pumpkins

5 little pumpkins sitting on a gate
The first one said “Oh my its getting late’
The second one said “There’s a chill in the air”
The third one said “But we dont care”
The fourth one said “Im ready for some fun”
The fifth one said “lets run and run and run”

Ooooooooh went the wind
And  OUT(clap) went the lights
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!
