October Preschool News

We have had a great time playing, learning, and getting to know each other. The year, masks and all, is off to a great start!

October Learning Theme

Community Helpers In honor of fire prevention week we will be looking at firefighters and other professions that help to make our community great. We will be   discussing many topic including safety rules that apply to various aspects of our lives, and our experiences with different doctor visits. As with all of our learning themes     we will talk about what we already know about community helpers, what we want to know, and then review what we have learned. We will also have fun talking about the upcoming holiday every child waits all year for, Halloween.

Fall Conferences At this first conference will be looking at how your child is adjusting socially and emotionally to school. You will receive a Sign -Up Genius by the first week of October to register for a virtual Google Meet conference on October 14^th. Conferences will be held during the day and will be 15 minutes in length. Children do not attend.

Halloween Party Friday, October 30th we will be having a Halloween party in the classroom. Please have your child come to school in a costume that is not scary or violent. I ask that you please pay special attention to this in consideration of children that may have a fear of costumes. Please leave accessories at home. Also, be sure they will be comfortable in their costume, and are able to maneuver while using the bathroom. The costume they wear to school may be different from what they go trick or treating in. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
