Thank You to all of our parents and friends who walked with us during the parade and who contributed to our class party. We learned that bats sleep upside down and some bats eat fruit and others eat mice and insects. We read about bats and learned they are nocturnal creatures, which means they fly and eat at night and sleep in the day. The children painted their costumes and we made the cutest headbands to go with it. The class enjoyed making our bat costumes to wear in our harvest parade. They gave us a toothbrush and toothpaste to take home. He and his assistant came to the preschool and taught us how to care for our teeth by brushing and flossing. The children took turns saying “911!” and running to the “fire” to put it out. The teachers drew some pretend fire flames on construction paper and stuck it on the front of the playhouse. Many of the children imitated the firefighters out in the yard. The children enjoyed our visit from the Arcadia Fire Department. I will also put order forms in your parent files every month if you would like to order from them and then turn the payment into the office. Each time a parent orders books, the school earns bonus points, which enables us to purchase books for the preschool. Enjoying books at an early age helps promote a love for literacy that will last a life time. A new selection is available every month. I would like to encourage parents to go online to Scholastic Book and order some books. Debbie will be back with them now and we are happy to welcome Ms. I had a really great time substituting in the Rainbow Fish class. This month we have some more visits from some community helpers. We read stories and learned finger plays such as “Five Little Pumpkins” and “Five Little Bats.” One afternoon in the Dolphin class we had some fun with crepe paper and wrapped some of the children up as “Mummies.” It was hilarious. We enjoyed the time leading up to Halloween as well. The children had a marvelous time at the Harvest parties and parade. We are enjoying the autumn season here at the preschool. The staff thanks you for your support of this activity and wishes you a wonderful Thanksgiving. However, we understand if schedules will not allow it. We hope that each family will be able to attend for some portion of the feast. Please bring in the food on or before November 24. A sign-up sheet will be posted on the class clipboard. We ask each of our families to help provide the ingredients for our meal. Let your child’s teacher know if you would like to participate. This is a great opportunity for parents to visit and help in the class with the teacher. The children will help to prepare one small bowl of each item with their class the day before the feast. We will be serving turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, Jell-O, vegetables, rolls and pumpkin pie. You are invited to join us on Wednesday, November 26 for our Thanksgiving feast from 11:30A.M. When my children were little I would use an emery board to file their nails, because it was faster than clipping them. Please make sure to check your child’s nails at least once a week. At this age children’s fingernails grow extremely fast. Some of the children are still learning to use their words instead of their hands to convey their needs and emotions.
