Gobble Wobble Parade this coming Thursday!

 Greetings!

This coming Thurs, Nov 19th will be our Gobble Wobble parade for Preschool and Kindergarten. The entire parade will take no more than 5 minutes. There will be 2 parades; one at 11:00 am for the morning Preschool, an another parade at 3:00 pm for the afternoon Preschool. (The Kindergarten class will join us for both of the parades.) The children will wear their turkey hats and walk around the perimeter of the gym. We will stop at times so you can takes pictures if you would like to do that. After the children have paraded around the gym, we will teach you parents how to dance the Gobble Gobble Turkey Wobble dance. It is very easy, and we would love it if you would join us. We will have the video playing to help you remember how to do the dance. When the dance is over, our parade event will be over. We will also have a "costume" for you to wear if you feel so inclined. I will DEFINITELY  be wearing a "costume." Again, it is only voluntary. If you decide to wear it, you will get to keep it! Lol. I can't wait to see who will be brave enough to get dressed up with us. :)

We will have a full week of school this coming week. It is a review week of all the letters we have learned thus far. We have looked at A-H. In Math, we are looking at and learning to count to 6. I know many of the children can count higher than that, but we are also looking at number recognition.

This week we will also start work on our Christmas program. That will be held on Wed, Dec. 16th at 10:30. There will only be one program, so the afternoon children are asked to come to school in the morning time on that day. Our program will probably only last 15-20 minutes. Anyone may come to the program. It will be held in the church. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask us.

This week I am hoping to do a name exchange for the children for Christmas presents. The children draw names and we will try to give you some suggestions the children themselves have given to us of some present they would like to receive. I ask that you spend between $10-$15 on the present. The children will exchange those presents during our Christmas party here at school. More information will come home with the children when we exchange names.

God bless you with a Jesus filled week!!

The Time is Going Faster and Faster!!

 Hello Parents,

I can hardly believe we are in November already! That holds so many meanings for all of us! The first meaning I would like to discuss is the weather. So far our weather has been amazingly beautiful and warm! Unfortunately, that can't last. Please be sure to send a coat along with your child if it is going to be chilly. We do go outside every day unless it is raining. And when that snow starts to fall, your child will need  snow boots, snow pants, hats and gloves in addition to that coat.

In November, on Thursday, the 19th we will be having a Gobble Wobble parade in the gym with the Kindergarten class. We will have a parade at 11:00 am and 3:00 pm both. So when you come to pick up your child at the end of the day, we will have our parade. But it won't be just a parade. We will be singing a few songs for you as well. But be warned: I am hoping for audience participation for one of the songs.!

We will also be starting to work on our Christmas program soon.  That will be held on Wed. Dec. 16th at 10:30 am. We will only have one program, so we will combine both groups for that.

This week we will be learning about the letter "h" for Homer Horse. We will also be counting up to 6 this week!

I hope you enjoyed our field trip to the Sandbox. The kids had a good time.

May God bless you and keep in His loving care.

Happy Halloween!!

These kids are still so great! They are so fun

 

AAHHHH!! Where has the time gone hea?? It's Halloween next Saturday!

 Hello Parents,

I can't believe Halloween is almost here already! So before I forget, we WILL have a small Halloween party here in our classroom on Thursday of this coming week. Yes, the children can definitely wear their costume to school if that is ok with you. We will play a game or 2, but we will also do some learning.

This coming up week is also Parent/Teacher conferences! On Tuesday, I will send home a short report card. This  does not go in your child's permanent school record. This is more of an informational report for your benefit. If your child does not know everything on this report card, please don't worry. One, it's still early in the school year. 2. Children learn at different paces. Finally, if you would like to talk to me about your child's report card, please sign up for a conference. Each conference runs about 15 minutes. These happen Wed. and Thurs. from 3:30-7:00 pm, and Friday during the day. These are not mandatory conferences, however. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

This week we learned about Freddy Fish and the letter "f." I've really enjoyed hearing what the children already know about the various animals we have learned about. They are smart! This week is a review week of the letters we have learned so far. We've got some exciting games planned for our review. I'm excited!! We will also be learning the song "If I Were a Ghost" by Simple Songs.

A week from tomorrow will be our Harvest Festival and Trunk-or-Treat night.  This will start at 6:00. There will be games for the kids to play, and food for purchase. There will also be the Trunk-or-Treat from 7:30-8:00 pm. (I could be wrong on the exact times for the Trunk-or-Treat.) If you go online, there is a list of items that we need to have donated for this party to be successful. Please consider donating some of these things. I just talked to the organizer of this event, and she said many donations are still needed.

I hope you had fun at the Imagination Station. I learned a great deal, and also had lots of fun. We have another field trip planned for Tues, Nov. 2nd at The Sandbox in Toledo. I hope all of you can come. I have never been there, but I've heard many good things about it. They have a nice website, if you want more information on that. If you are planning on going, please be sure to bring in your permission slips and money. Thank you so much!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend! May God bless you with faith, joy and peace.

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. :)
