Happy Fall Marvelous families!
What an absolutely beautiful day today. WOW... God is so good!
A few things for your information:
Pictures:
Yes ;) we are still planning on pictures for the 13th of October. Mrs. Walsh and I are waiting on the picture company to contact us regarding a quote of a price and time slots. As of now, I think we are going to simply do group pictures and not individual. (Ex.: a group picture of the Seals class at one time block, then Penguins class, and then Polar Bears class) I will confirm all this information as soon as I find out. I want to apologize about not having this information as soon as I had hoped to have it.
Another Super Q&A:
"My child would like to bring in a snack for his/her birthday/holiday. Can you recommend something that will not conflict with the allergy issue of the room?"
Here are some ideas. If you happen to have any others, please feel free to email me your suggestions:
* little baggies of fruit (ex: grapes, strawberries, blueberries. Could be individual or mixed?)
* Fruit chews/ Fruit Roll-ups
* Tubes of Go-gurt/ Moo tubes (if you shop at Aldi)
* Danimals
* little baggies of popcorn, pretzels, chips (Sun chips seem to be a favorite)
* popcicles (not real healthy but a yummy treat non the less!) We do have a freezer for storage.
Please stay away from certain fruit cereal bars and granola bars as they still contain traces of peanuts, walnuts, and or almonds oils. Even a trace of the oils on a hand or tranferred to a toy or table top can prove dangerous. Thanks so much for your diligence on this.
Scholastic Book Orders:
Watch your child's folder for upcoming book orders. These will be sent out Friday, Monday and Tuesday. The books you order count toward points to get classroom books for our preschool.
Saint of the Month of October:
St. Vincent de Paul...Pray for US! I stress to the children that we NEVER worship any type of saint or angel but we simply ask for them to talk to God for us since they are closer in Heaven to Him than we are! The big word we talk about is "intercession". We have talked about how St. Vincent de Paul was good to the poor and sick. He saw God in everyone just like we need to do.
The children LOVE to learn about these wonderful Christian people!
Preschool Time Line:
Mrs. Bloom and I have put together a "Preschool Time Line" on the bulletin board above the cubbies. It will stay up all year and will include monthly events with pictures. Check out September that just went up today!
Concluding words...
Since it has only been a 3 day week, we will extend our "Farms" theme into next week as well so as not to rush through it.
* Children are such wonderful truth tellers...I love their frank comments and opinions...what a true gift! Have a fantastic weekend!
"You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you." Psalm 8:2
