Happy New Year
Welp, we just finished putting up the Christmas decorations around here, and as I was putting up the preschool stuff I realized its seemed like FOREVER since I saw everyone. Just two weeks, but two busy weeks can seem a bit like an eternity. I hope all the preschoolers are excited to be back this week, and just a heads up, with long breaks like this it's sometimes is a little hard to get back in the routine, so don't be surprised if tomorrow everyone is dragging their feet :)
It's going to be a fun month, I've had lots of time to plan some activities that I'm really excited about. After a week of readjustment, we'll be stepping up the academics just a bit for our older kids. Kindergarten is just around the corner and I feel best if they've got their names (first and last for some of them) and most of their letters under their belt. Counting and math will be a big priority also. It's going to be a great new year.

Event Information
Grocery Store Field Trip
Meet us at the Grocery Side entrance at 9:30. They'll take us all around the store to see how a grocery store works. (Honestly, grocery store field trips are kinda a mixed bag, but I've always had a lot of success with Walmart, so we'll cross our fingers for a good time. If all else fails, they've promised at the end we get to decorate a cookie! Anything that ends with a cookie is pretty awesome to a preschooler, right?) The field trip should be a little longer than a half an hour and everyone is welcome to come.
When?

Can I Trade You a Day??
MWF parents, I ordered some new carpet for my front TV room and the master bedroom. It was supposed to be installed over Christmas break, but lots of delays made pushed it to sometime this month. It will take longer than just the afternoon, so I'll have to cancel preschool one day to accommodate. I'll let you know as soon as I find out when that'll be. Since I have to cancel a day I was hoping I could trade out the Friday after the field trip with you. Usually since the field trip is combined on Thursday I cancel school that following Friday. So if that works for you, awesome, plan on a yet to be named day off in January to be traded with an extra preschool day on January 30th. The reason I'm letting you know is because if it doesn't work for you let me know and we'll just subtract that preschool day from your January tuition. Thanks!
Tuition and Snack
Tuition is due this week. I'll be sending home envelopes and snack calendars on Monday/Tuesday (that is, if my printer doesn't plot against me and run out of ink like it usually does. In which case it'll be Tuesday/Wednesday)
