Weekly Director's Update

I hope you have all enjoyed the beautiful weather this week, I know the children have enjoyed having outdoor recess!! The month of November we are celebrating home and family. The children’s activities will be centered on fall, practicing good manners and giving thanks to all the things God has given to us. We started our new bible verse in chapel this week: “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good.” During our chapel time the children got a chance to share something they are thankful for. I always love to hear the answers!!

Today we practiced our first bad weather/tornado drill. The kids did a great job with this one. Next Thursday we will have our monthly fire drill at 10:00 am. The children enjoyed the Allen Fire Departments visit this week to see the fire truck. That was a great photo opportunity! Many of the children took the firemen up on getting a chance to get up inside the fire truck for a peek!

Conference dates for Pre K rooms (Red, Sky Blue, Purple) are quickly approaching: Sign up sheets for times on these dates are by the classroom doors
Thurs. Nov. 12th Purple Room
Tues. Nov. 17th Sky Blue Room
Wednesday Nov. 18th Red Room

The progress reports for Orange , Green, Yellow and Blue rooms will be going home the week of Nov. 16th. Please sign and return the report to the teacher before Thanksgiving break so they will be able to use it again in the spring. The Rainbow Rooms progress report will not go home until spring. If you find you have any questions about the progress reports please contact your teacher or myself.

A flyer was sent home in your child’s folder today with information about the arts and crafts festival at Suncreek UMC – How Bazaar.
Friday – Nov. 13th 4:00-8:00 pm
Saturday – Nov. 14th 9:00 – 3:00 pm

Please look for sign up sheets for items to bring for classrooms feasts:
Wed. Nov. 18th Rainbow & Green will have their feast
Thurs. Nov. 19th All other classes will have their feasts

*The feast takes place during your child’s scheduled lunch time and is just for the students and their teachers. We don’t treat this as a party setting. The teachers use this as an opportunity to talk about the importance of the thanksgiving feast and what that means.*

Your children are so precious and we thank you for the awesome opportunity we have with them everyday! Enjoy the beautiful weather and have a great weekend~
