Can you believe it is already November?!?!
We have had a very busy past two weeks!
November 3-6
We talked about Community Helpers! We focused on the color brown.
Our bible story was the Burning Bush, Exodus 3.
We talked a lot about different people who help us. We talked about doctors, mail carriers, teachers, police, fire fighters and ambulance drivers.
The kids played with emergency vehicles in sand in our sensory table.
In art we made a doctors collage and a fire painting.
The highlight of the week was when the fire fighters came to our school. We got to explore the fire truck.
We also, practiced our STOP! DROP! & ROLL!
November 10-13
Our unit was Under the Big Top! We focused on the color yellow!
Our bible lesson was Daniel's scary sleepover from Daniel 6.
In Art Center, we made a circus tent, free painted with yellow paint, painted cotton balls to look like cotton candy, and even worked some on our scrapbooks! We were busy in Art this week!
We also had an extra special Take and Make! Thank you so much for bring Tom the turkey his feathers, he looks GREAT!
We played with a new center this week. Sometimes, it is cute to see how much the kids really enjoy a very simple center. You do not need to spend a lot of money or do anything
extravagant! We simply died noodles, hot glued a different shape/color noodle to a foil muffin tin, and let the kids sort the noodles! They loved this!!
The kids are really enjoying taking care of their plants, we wanted to share a few cute photo's of them!
Thanksgiving Party
Next week we will have our Thanksgiving Parties! They will be on Tuesday and Thursday. The Thanksgiving Party will be an "in-class" party. This means that you will not need to come up for the party. Don't worry though, parent's are welcome and encouraged to attend our Christmas and End-of-Year party!! If you have signed up to bring something for the party, you will just drop it off on Tuesday/ Thursday morning when you drop off your child. If you signed up to bring money for the nugget tray, please give that to us on Monday/ Wednesday. If you signed up to pick up and deliver the nugget tray, we will give you the collected money on Tuesday/ Thursday morning. You can go thru Chick-fil-a drive thru, ask for a small nugget tray and then bring it up to the school. We will need the nugget tray before 12:00.
Canned Goods!
His Kids Weekday Preschool is doing a canned good drive. All of our donations will go to Angels of Light! The class with the most cans will receive and ice cream party. Our classes are doing well, but we are not in the head of the pack!
Christmas Basket Donations
There have been a lot of questions regarding our Christmas Basket Project. Hopefully this will answer any questions that you might have! Each class will be collecting items to go into different themed baskets. The themes include: family fun, toys for boys, giggles for girls, etc. I will say that these baskets get some really NEAT things in them. 3 years ago, I won the Arts & Craft baskets, and had enough crayolas and play dough to last all of my kids a full year! After the baskets are put together, they will be displayed in the front lobby. You can then buy raffle tickets for the basket(s) that you would like a chance to win. The drawings will be after the Christmas Program that the 3 year olds, 4 year olds, and Transition class does. The collected money raised will go towards a person/family based on Heather's (our wonderful director) discretion.
Love, Cassie and Jen
