Remember!
*Please be sure to send your child to school ready for cold weather! We often go outside, so they will need coats, hats, gloves, and boots if it's snowy!
*We have openings for extended day on all school days! Some of our students could truly benefit from extra classroom time to get them ready for Kindergarten. If your budget will allow, please consider it for the new year and if you're interested, talk to Mrs. Wilson!
*Some of the children are playing "gun-type" games and even though it is a natural idea (especially for boys) is is not appropriate play for preschool. Please gently remind your children that that type of play is not going to be allowed at school.

Family Partnerships
*Our Thanksgiving Meal is next week on Monday, November 24th and Tuesday, November 25th! If you'd like to help, please let us know this week ASAP!
*Have your child tell you all the animals the Grouchy Ladybug wanted to fight. Help them make a page of their very own ladybugs using their thumbprints and a few markers.
Fruit of the Spirit: Faithfulness

Motivate your children to be someone who:
