Teddy Bear Fun!

We had so much fun with bears this week.  We sorted them by color and size, danced and sang with them, and then had our own teddy bear picnic at snack time.  

Next week our theme will be Transportation.  We will be having loads of fun and learning with planes, trains, and automobiles.

Just a friendly reminder: it has been quite chilly lately at our morning recess time as we usually go out around 9:40ish.  Please check the weather and send a heavy coat, hat, mittens, etc. for your child when appropriate.

Wow, what a great time we had during Pets Week!  The visit with Dr. Fielstra was a big hit and the kids got to learn all about how vets examine animals.  Callie, the dog, was very well-behaved and so much fun for the kids (and teachers, too.)  We loved meeting and hearing about your family pets.  Thanks so much for your support.

This week we will learn about Thanksgiving.  Remember Tuesday is Bedlam Dress Day.  Send in Box Tops and vote for your favorite team.  No School Wednesday - Friday.  Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

It's Pets Week in Preschool!  We had a great time meeting Taylor's kitten, Kitty Soft Paws.  If anyone else would like to bring a pet in for Show-and-Tell just let us know.  Pets can be shown with parent or other adult present and provided your pet can handle lots of small children.  You could also to send a picture of your family's pet(s).  On Tuesday, 11/13, Cadence's mom will be coming in to tell us about her job as a veterinarian.  Thank you so much, Dr. Fielstra!  Wednesday, 11/14, is pizza day so be sure to send money for your child or a lunch with a drink as the cafeteria will be closed.

Thanks so much for your support of the Appalachia Mass.  This week we will be involved in another service project, decorating sacks for the Meals on Wheels program!

Making Spider Snacks on Halloween

Hope you have all recovered from Halloween week.  That extra hour of sleep last night should help!  

Just a quick note about the Appalachia Mass on Friday, November 9 - although we will not be attending Mass, we will take any donated items to the church on Friday morning and we will be placing them on the altar.  On Monday and Tuesday we will be discussing this important mission project and that Jesus calls us to care for the poor and vulnerable.  We will also look at a map to see where Kentucky is located .
