It's a short week coming up!

 Hello Parents,

This coming week, October 14-16, there will be no school. So in other words, we will only have school Monday and Tuesday next week. There is Teacher's Conference in Ohio.

The good news is that the crew is here today, paving the "big" parking lot. The bad news is that they will not be able to pave the front parking lot, or small parking lot. That means that for our 2 days of school next week, you will need to parking in the big parking lot off of Macomb St, and come in the doors marked "A." Take a left and come to the end of the hall to our classroom. At pick up time for the morning session only, you will again park in the big lot. At that time, please park by the gym area because the rest of the school will be coming in from recess. Obviously, we don't want to hit anyone. So our days of parking in the Danny's II parking lot are over, thankfully.

Because next week is only a 2 day week for us, we will just be reviewing what we have learned so far.

Our field trip to the Imagination Station will be on the Tuesday that we come back from our break (Oct. 20th). We still need permission slips and your money, please. We would like to have all of that in to us by Tuesday (Oct. 13th) so we have time to organize it and make sure everything is in order. If you are unable to go, that is OK. Just please let us know. We will meet in Toledo at the Imagination Station in the Lobby at 10 am. If you have any questions, we will be more than happy to help you.

Finally, this morning, our secretary, Mrs. Vanisacker fell and broke her nose and had 8 stitches put in the bridge of her nose. The Dr. told her to stay out of work all next week. Thankfully, Mrs. Crawford will be able to fill in a few days or partial days. (Did you know that Mrs. Crawford is learning the ropes to also be one of our secretaries?) Please keep Mrs. Vanisacker in your prayers. I know she will be so honored and happy that you are thinking of her.

May God bless you. See you on Monday. :)

Upcoming Events

 

Field Trips

 Preschool Fam!

We have two field trips coming up. Both will be with our kindergarten friends and both days there will be no AM or PM preschool. 

Our 1st one will be on October 20th to Imagination Station from 10-2:15. Next week will be a very short week so we need your forms by Tuesday, October 13. 

Our 2nd field trip is to The Sandbox for Kids on November 4th. Forms, waivers, and payment will be due by October 24.

Siblings are welcome to come, just make sure your form and payment reflect that. If you need an extra form let us know. 

Pastor Appreciation

Hey Preschool Fam!

Pastor Appreciation Day is October 11, and our preschool would love to show Pastor Sitzman how much we appreciate him. We’re putting together a gift certificate to his favorite place to buy unroasted coffee beans. (Unroasted? Yes! Pastor Sitzman roasts his own coffee!)

If you’d like to contribute, we’re asking for $3 per family. Thank you for helping us celebrate Pastor Sitzman!

Great job!

 1 day down,  just 3 more to go! It was so heart warming to see everyone watching out for all the children! Everything went very smoothly except for 1 thing: the children were unsettled because you didn't walk them into the classroom.  So I am suggesting that for the rest of the week,  you go ahead and walk your child into our room. 

This week we are learning the letter "e" and the number 4. Along with the letter "e", we are learning about elephants. The song we are learning this week is "Elephant Song" by Gracie's Song.  

This week we have 2 sources of excitement: the parking lot year up and replacement,  and making paper mache' pumpkins. 

Thank you for all your patience! Just a quick reminder that we only have school Monday and Tuesday next week. 

I pray you have a Jesus filled week. 

Oh NO!

 I tried to post a Blog on Friday, but something went wrong and neither Mrs. Seibert nor myself could post! Somehow both our names were removed from the Blog! So I will be posting later today.

We are really starting to get into the groove!

 We are firming comfortable with school now!  They know the routines, and what Mrs. Seibert and I expect of them. They enjoy the learning aspect of school now, too. I am especially happy with their willingness to do our Math work. They really pay attention well. I'm just so pleased! Of course, they still like to play, but that's a very good thing!

This past week we reviewed the numbers 1 and 2 again. This coming week we will learn about the number 3. This past week we also learned about the letter "c," and Connie Cow. They really do like to learn. It is such a joy to see and hear their excitement. Next week we will learn about the letter "d," and Dexter Donkey.

There are some upcoming events I would like to make you aware of. The first date is October 20th. We will be going to the Imagination Station of dissect owl pellets. We will be going with the Kindergarten class. Then on November 10th we will be going to The Sandbox. Again, we will be going with the Kindergarten class. More information will be coming home this coming week. According to the State regulations, you all will drive individually to our destination. We will meet together inside the building where we teachers will give you more information. When you have discovered all the things your child enjoys, you may leave. There will be no afternoon Preschool classes on that day as they will be joining us at the field trip destination. If all this is as clear as mud, please don't hesitate to ask me in person.

Finally, I would like to remind you that we do not have school October 14-16. That week we have Teacher's Conference in Cincinnati, OH.

God bless you all!
