Wee Wuns Monthly Newsletter
OCTOBER 2023
From the Director:
The students are settling in their classroom routines and establishing new friendships already. It’s amazing that a month has come and gone since we started the school year. As we anxiously wait for the seasons to change and for cool crisp air to move in, we are excited to welcome the pumpkins back to the Pumpkin Patch this coming week!
Although it may not feel like fall yet, we are in full swing of all things fall related here at school. We are so excited for our upcoming Preschool Fabulous Fall days, visits to the pumpkin patch, leaf rubbings, and even pumpkin carvings!
As we look ahead for all that October has in store for us, I am grateful that I get to be here to experience the love and joy of your children each day. They are truly the greatest gift!
Wishing you all many fall blessings this October.
- Amy Camp

PRESCHOOL CHAPEL
Happy October! We are so happy to have settled into our school routines. I am getting to know your sweet children. I love praying and singing with them! I cannot wait to share some of our favorite songs with you at Fall Festival. Here is what you can expect form Chapel and Get with God for Preschool students this month.
Have a blessed month!
In Him,
Mrs. McLain
This month in chapel we are learning about how God can help me be BRAVE.
We will learn Bible stories about Rahab and the spies, David and Goliath, Daniel and the lions, Esther, and Miriam.
We will sing Be Brave, No Matter What, and How Great is Our God
Our memory verse is “Be strong and courageous. Do Not be afraid…for the Lord your God goes with you.” Deut. 31:6
Some things to do at home:
When you go into your child’s room, say: “Good morning! It’s time for my super kid to wake up and be strong and courageous!”
While on the go, look for powerful things like bulldozers, airplanes, big trucks, etc. Tell your child that nothing is more powerful than God and we can be brave because God is powerful.
Add a toy person, bubbles, and a few washcloths to bath time. Tell your child to close their eyes or look away while you hide the toy in the bubbles, under a washcloth, or behind a shampoo bottle. Each time your child finds the toy, say: “God can help me be brave!” Talk about how Rahab was brave and hid the spies because she knew God is powerful.

Spanish
It has been a FANTÁSTICO” first month with Spanish!
Our friends are getting familiar with our Spanish class routine of “mira” (look), “escucha” ( listen) y “repite” (repeat) and are actively involved in practicing and singing our weekly songs and rhymes.
We’ve been practicing the recognition of basic instructions in the Spanish class and repetition of new vocabulary and expressions related to their homeroom class unit guides. Repetition is key for mastering pronunciation of the new language.
During our pets unit our friends had the opportunity of meeting a real hamster “Caramelo” and his “casa” in class. They were so excited to meet him!. Also I’m sure they have already talked to you about “Curro”, our Spanish class puppet pet.
Here is an outline of the contents that we have covered for this first month:
Language Practice: (continuous)
· Siéntate/Ponte de pie ,levántate. Mira/ Escucha/ Repite.
· Buenos días, ¿Como estás? Bien, gracias, ¿y tú?
· ¿De qué color es? Es...
· ¿Dónde está el/la ,,,,,,,,? Ahí está.
· ¿Qué hora es?
· ¡Adiós! ¡ Hasta la semana que viene!
Vocabulary: (continuous)
· Numbers: 1-3 ( 3Y) 1-10 (4Y) 1-20 ( Bridge).
· Colors: rojo, amarillo, verde, azul(3Y) y naranja o anaranjado (4Y, bridge)
· Family: el papá/ la mamá, el hermano/la hermana,
el abuelo/la abuela y el bebé.
· Pets : el perro, el gato, el hámster, el conejo, el pez y
el pájaro.

Cypress Methodist Church "Meet me at the Patch" family events
Cypress Methodist Church is excited to welcome our community to Pumpkin Patch 2023! We cannot wait to see you again this year or meet you for the first time! The front lawn of the church has been transformed into a pumpkin patch full of color and fun and we hope that as you prepare for all things Fall you will join us in our patch.
While visiting you will be able to take memorable photos at our many scenes for all ages; enjoy activities for the kids such as a Mario Kart racetrack and slides; attend story-time; participate in games and make crafts on the weekends; purchase your pumpkins for decorating or carving and take home a loaf of wonderful, homemade pumpkin bread. Pumpkin Patch opens Friday, October 6th and will be open 10 am - 7 pm daily through the month of October. There is no charge to visit the patch and we encourage you to come spend time with family and friends.
Meet Me At The Patch events are fun, family friendly meet-ups. We love hanging in the patch and want to provide some organized events for you and your family. Watch our Facebook page for a schedule! We will also host free Friday Night Fun events…
- October 13 – Bring your family and friends and join us for a Family Movie Night Event as we feature Super Mario Bros Movie. The movie will begin at 7:00 PM in the Ministry Activity Center. Bring blankets and chairs. Come early for pre-movie fun in the Pumpkin Patch.
- October 20 – DJ Dance Glow Party, 6:30 – 8:30 in the Ministry Activity Center. Our Interactive DJ will not only play music but will also play games, dance with the crowd, and give prizes!
- October 26 – Latino Night hosted by Cypress Espanol. Come enjoy music, drama, dancing and great food!
When you purchase pumpkins from our patch your help fund youth and children’ s mission trips and projects as well as community outreach events throughout the year. What began as a youth group fundraiser over 15 years ago has grown into a favorite fall destination in our community.
Pumpkin Patch at Cypress Methodist Church is about community. Yes, we raise funds for ministries and events but that is not our focus. We want to create a space for our community to come together, enjoy time outside where kids can run and play and adults can relax, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Where memories are made, and a visit to the patch becomes family tradition. We would love to meet you and get to know you!
