Good afternoon parents,
I am getting the weekly update out a couple days early due to the busy week! The children enjoyed the “corn” cookies in centers time yesterday and today. What a yummy treat for them! Thanksgiving feasts are tomorrow for Monday/Wednesday Rainbow, Orange and Green Rooms and on Thursday for all other classes. As a reminder, this is a teacher led event and not a traditional party. Thank you for signing up to bring the food and supplies for the feasts. We have the best families at SCDC!
Reminders:
Fire Drill tomorrow 10am
No SCHOOL next week – We are closed for Thanksgiving break
Family Chapel is the week we return from break – Nov. 29th
Book Orders are due Dec. 2nd
SCDC Christmas Program is Monday, Dec. 6th at 6:30 pm
**Please remember pick up time is at 2pm. I appreciate your help with this matter as many of my teachers need to leave on time to pick up their own children. Thank you!
I wish all of our SCDC families a blessed and safe Thanksgiving. I am so thankful that you have allowed SCDC to be part of your child’s life and having the awesome opportunity to get to know your families. Our preschool has so many reasons to be thankful
May God bless you and your families ~

We have so much to be thankful for! This week the children have been preparing for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and why we celebrate it. Along with that we have been studying the Fruits of the Spirit. This week we talked about joy and next week is peace. Ask the children which fruit we talk about with each one. The ones we have studied so far are love – strawberry, joy – orange, and peace – watermelon. This has been fun to share with the children and I love hearing the dialogue they share during chapel. Family chapel will be the week we come back from Thanksgiving break. Next week will be a busy week with the classroom feats on Wednesday & Thursday. Please look for the sign up sheet for items needed for each classrooms feast. As a reminder this is not a classroom party instead is a teacher led event. The kids have so much fun at the feast. We will make sure to take a lot of pictures!!
Here’s an update from Centers and Computer time with Ms. Natalie & Ms. Terri:
Centers Lab is in harvest mode and we are bringing the freshest food to our local markets. We are picking apples, planting several crops, and enjoying learning how to balance our feed sacks. We are using push pin art with dots....it looks great from the window. Our children are thrilled with the "feed corn" in the sand table and enjoy working with that new texture. Computers are also full of new exciting things. We are excited to announce we have now loaded Sammy's Science on our computers so we can begin our rotations Thursday during computer lab. We are working on recycling with the kids and they now know what goes into a compost pile...Look out!
Just a few announcements for next week:
Monday & Tuesday is cooking in Centers Lab (corn on the cob cookies)
Hearing & Vision Screening for Pre K Students
Progress Reports coming home – please sign them and return by next Thursday
Scheduled Pre K Parent Teacher Conferences (Purple – Monday, Red, Tuesday, Sky Blue – Wednesday)
Fire Drill Wednesday 10am
Wednesday & Thursday classroom feasts during the students lunch time
*Remember we will be closed the week of November 22nd-25th for Thanksgiving break*
Attached is a flyer for an upcoming Early Childhood PTA meeting in November.
Happy Veteran’s Day!! I am so thankful for the sacrifice so many have made to ensure are safety and freedom. Have a great weekend~
Many blessings~

Good morning parents,
The kids really enjoyed the Allen Fire Department’s visit this week to SCDC! They were able to get up inside the fire truck and look around and have their picture taken with it. This is a huge hit every year for our students!!
This week the children began the new theme for the month in their classes. The classroom feasts are coming up on Wednesday, Nov. 17th & Thursday, Nov. 18th. These are not like the classroom parties we have for other holidays. The children will eat their “feast” with their class and teachers and they discuss what the first Thanksgiving was like and why we celebrate the holiday. This will be your child’s lunch for the day so look for a sign up sheet by next week to sign up for the food to be provided for you child’s class feast. We ask that parents do not attend the feast like our other classroom parties since this is a teacher led event.
This week we did start our new chapel lesson dealing with the Fruits of the Spirit. This week we talked about Love (strawberry) and that God wants us to love all the time just like he does for us. Next week we will introduce joy (orange) so please make sure to ask your child about what they have learned in chapel. This is a great time to introduce this to our students with Thanksgiving since they see cornucopias this time of the year!
Just a few reminders for next week:
We have our first tornado drill Monday at 9:45am
With the cooler weather please make sure you are sending a jacket or sweatshirt with your child daily. We go outside for recess daily unless it is raining J
November tuition is due
Hearing and Vision Screening Monday, Nov. 15th – Mandatory for our Pre K students (Red, Sky Blue and Purple Rooms) please turn in your form and payment ASAP. Make checks to Insight
Progress Reports: All classrooms with the exception of Rainbow will be sending home progress reports for you to review. We do this twice a year so you can see development wise where your child is. Please look it over and sign the back and return to your classroom teacher. We will do this again in the spring and at that time you will keep the progress report. *The Pre K classes are the only classes that hold fall conferences.*
Purple Conferences – Monday, Nov. 15th
Red Room Conferences – Tuesday, Nov. 16th
Sky Blue Conferences – Wednesday, Nov. 17th
If you have not signed up for your child’s pre k conference please look for the sign up sheet next to the sign in/out sheet.
Bike-A-Thon Update:
As of today we have raised $5,150 in donations!! This is fantastic and we are so appreciative of our generous community!!!! If you have donations yet to turn in that is great!! Please send them in as soon as you can. We have already purchased science curriculum (software) to use in the computer lab, books for several classrooms, and classroom manipulatives. The classrooms will continue to update items in their classrooms throughout the year with our fundraiser money. I will update you during the year with news of our purchases. Thank you so much for all your support!!!

The children are preparing for the SCDC Christmas Program which will be on Monday, December 6th at 6:30pm. All the students are part of this program so make sure you have this on your calendar.
