What a fun time we all had at our sing-a-long and potluck on the 9th. Thank you to all of you who came and supported us. I am amazed every year how the potluck works out and how there always seems to be the right amount of every kind of food. I really think we need to put together a Preschool cookbook one year for a Christmas gift because we had some awesome treats on Thursday.
Looking ahead to the rest of the month there are some dates we need to be aware of:
Thursday the 16th the Fish class is going on a field trip to Marshall High School's Child Development class. We need to LEAVE the preschool no later than 8 am so please have the children there by 7:50 to load up and get car seats strapped in. You may leave your carseat in the entry way by their coats.
Friday the 17th we will again sing some Christmas songs at Senior Dining. We will be there @ 11:15 and leave about 11:30 in order to get back to school for lunch.
Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd will be the class parties and Pajama Day! Children can come in their pajama's, bring their gift for a class friend and then we will play some games and eat treats. Also, please send a gallon ice cream bucket with your child (cleaned out of course) that week. We are going to decorate Christmas trees and need to be able to get them home safely with the children. We may even have a "special" visitor for the parties too! Regular class times for both of these days.
There will be no school from the 23rd of December until the 3rd of January.
Here is an FYI for the month of May (I know it's hard to imagine May right now)-Our Muffins for Mom's will be Thursday the 5th of May and Friday the 6th of May. We traditionally do a fun activity that the children and Moms can do together. This year we are having the children and Moms put together their child's preschool photo album. We are providing the 12x12 pages marked with the appropriate months of the school year and pictures from through out the year. Also in the albums will be all of the hanprint quilt squares that the children have made during the year. So Moms...if you come across cute scrapbook stickers, stamps or what ever you like to scrapbook with, you may want to pick it up for this fun morning in May.
May 19th will be preschool graduation night for the Frog class.
Have a wonderful, joyous and safe Holiday Season!
