Back to School!

Hi Parents! I hope everyone is doing well. We are over the H1N1 virus and our house is disinfected... I guess that means it is time to start preschool again! We will start school again this week- don't forget the Halloween parade on Thursday (4 year old class) and Friday (3 year old class) at 11:15!

Also, since I had to cancel class last week, November's tuition will be $65.00 (4 year old class) and $25.00 (3 year old class). Tuition is due next Tuesday (11/3- 4 year old class) and next Friday (11/6- 3 year old class). Can you believe it is November already?

Cornbelly's!

We had a great time on our field trip! I want to say THANK YOU to our parent helpers- you were great!
We saw some joke-telling chickens, raced rubber duckies, went in a small corn maze, went on a hay ride, and got to pick pumpkins from the pumpkin patch. There was so much to do there, but we only got to do a few things. I hope your preschooler had fun!
The singing/joke telling chickens.

Going in the "Snake" Maze

Sorry we were late getting back- thank you for understanding! :)

Our school t-shirts are here!

Hi everyone! I have our school shirts, but I wasn't able to deliver them... so, for tomorrow's field trip, we will just put your school shirt over whatever shirt you are wearing. It would be great if you could wear a long sleeve shirt, and we'll put the new shirt over the top! Thanks! They turned out really good- I think you will like them!

See you tomorrow for the FIELD TRIP!

The Firestation!

We had a great time on our field trip to the firestation today! Thank you so much to our parent helpers... we couldn't have gone without you!

When we got back to school, the kids told me their favorite parts:

Jena: looking at the boats

Gage: seeing the trailer

Carly: the fire truck

Evan: seeing the boats

Jacob: the hoses

Makayla: the boats

Tayvin: the hoses

Abby: the fireman

Avry: the boats

(the boats were actually wave runners the firemen use to rescue people on the lake... I guess the kids were really impressed with them! :)

Remember, there is no school next Friday! See you in two weeks!

Witches and Frankenstein!


Today we got to make puppets! I let the kids choose between a Witch and a Frankenstein. I was surprised that they all picked the Witch.... Frankenstein was actually my favorite! :) Doing an art project like this can get a little wild and crazy- especially with preschoolers- but the kids did a great job! We ran out of time, so your child should have brought home arms and hands for the witch... I told them they could finish at home!
We had a great week! Can't wait for our field trip on Tuesday! Our t-shirts should be done today, so I will drop them off as soon as I can. If your child can wear their shirt on Tuesday it will help us keep track of everyone! Thanks!

Field Trips!

We have two fun field trips scheduled! Our 4 year old class will be going to Cornbelly's on Tuesday, October 12. We have enough parent helpers, so we just need everyone's permission slips back and we will be ready to go! On the 12th, please leave your child's booster seat on my porch when you drop them off at school. Everyone needs a booster seat for the field trip! I am hoping to have our class t-shirts ready to wear to the field trip. If they are ready, I might drop them off at your house Friday or Monday!
Our 3 year old class will be visiting the Saratoga Springs Firestation on Friday, October 9th. We also have plenty of parent helpers for this field trip! Please bring your permission slip back this week and leave your booster or car seat on my porch. If you could put your child's name somewhere on the car seat, it would help! Our t-shirts have been ordered too, so we'll see if we get them back in time to wear on Friday!
