Good afternoon,
I hope everyone has had a great week! The children have been so excited this week for Halloween and the excitement was definitely in the air with the parties and the weekend approaching. I love this time of the year and get such a kick out of all the cute costumes the children wear. Thank you to all of our parents for planning such fun parties and activities for our children for Halloween. The kids have soooo much fun!
Just a couple reminders about next week’s events:
Monday & Tuesday the Allen Fire Department will be here to show the children the fire truck and ambulance and cover some basic fire safety. The children always love this event! They will be here at 10 am both days.
In the month of November the children will be celebrating home and family. During this month you will see activities in your child’s class dealing with fall and Thanksgiving, using good manners and celebrating those special people that care for us. The bible verse this month is “Give thanks to the Lord for he is good.” Psalm 106:1.
During chapel we will be talking about all the things that God gives us to be thankful for. In addition to that we will be incorporating a few Fruits of the Spirit into our chapel time all month. (love, joy, peace and kindness)
The color of the month is brown, shape is the triangle and we will be studying the letters H and I and reviewing the letters that we have studies so far. We have a lot going on so please makes sure you take the time to read all things that come home in your child’s folder daily as well as checking emails sent to you by the teachers.
November tuition is due next week. It is not considered late until after the 15th of the month. The tuition drop box is located on the wall at the front desk (under the clock). Thanks!
Bike-A-Thon Update: Wow!! We have already raised around $4,000 in donations from the event J I thank all of you and your families and friends for generously supporting the preschool. It is such a fun event for the kids and it is all about them! It just warms my heart to see such an outpouring of love from those in our community when it comes to our precious children. Please keep sending those donations in ASAP. I will continue to collect donations as long as they continue to come in. Ideally I would like them all to be in by Monday, Nov. 1st but after that is fine too! Look for the grand total in next week’s update. I will also list the items that we used with the donations we raised. It all goes back to the classrooms and the kids!
Make sure to check out the blog weekly at www.suncreekkids.blogspot.com and you can find us on Facebook. Have a safe and fun Halloween weekend – GO RANGERS!!!!!
Blessings~

Weekly Director's Report
Happy Wednesday!
Our first fire drill went very well today!! The kids were prepared and did a great job with it. We do this toward the end of every month and we will also have a tornado drill sometime in October and another one in the spring in addition to our monthly fire drills. Please remind your child these are just practices and there is no need for them to be afraid. The one in October will be held on Thurs. October 28th.
What a busy month September was for SCDC! Since the teachers are responsible to send updates to parents about the classroom activities the specials teachers will be sending an update of the monthly activities to me and I will add it to my update. Here is what went on in the centers lab, music, and computers for the month of September:
Welcome to Centers Lab. We create, we play, we work, and we cook. The month of September was full of getting to know you, the color green, working with our new blocks and sand...we love sand. We cooked Bright Banana Bites and really loved that...yum! Now that we have our songs, processes, and basic understanding of Centers Lab under our hats...we will jump right in to October with Community Helpers. We will be using our foam blocks to build buildings we see in our community, we will create art with "bleeding tissue"...so don't have on your Sunday best, we will add to our sand some community cars and will help us make our roads...and we will cook again (Pumpkin Dip) to get into the fall season. (Ms. Natalie – Centers & Computers teacher)
Computers... We started off with some great games to get us more familiar with the Computer Lab. We then worked our way into the parts of the computer (song to the tune of Alice the Camel) and now we are able to log in and out...better hope those passwords work at home Mom and Dad....We will continue to support the work in our classrooms with technology support. In October we will begin learning the "home row" on the keyboard...
Music - Praise be to our Awesome God!!! Let me start off by saying I am having a BLAST with your precious children!!!!
In September, we did a lot of movement with the 3's and 4's and a lot of fun songs with scarves and stars/puppets for the 18mos and 2's. We focused on our body parts through fun songs and finger plays.
In October we will do a lot of autumn/harvest songs about leaves, scarecrows, bats, pumpkins, and food. It will be awesome to watch them as they grow and change literally from one week to the next! I LOVE MY JOB!!!! (Ms. Mary Lee – Music teacher)
October is community helper month and throughout the month we will have special guests at SCDC to help us with that. We will have a visit from a doctor, a pastor, and in early November a fire truck visit from the Allen Fire Department. We will also enjoy the season of fall and our bible verse for the month is “When I am afraid, I will trust in you.” Psalms 56:3 and in chapel time will be studying the story of Ruth. This is such as a fun time of the year and we have a very busy month coming up!
3rd Annual Bike-a-thon - A flyer about the bike-a-thon came home this week and next week another with an envelope attached will be sent in your child’s folder. The envelope is to collect pledge money for the bike-a-thon and the lap sheet is attached to the envelope. This is our main fundraiser for the school and it benefits each of your children. We use the funds to purchase curriculum and additional classroom items. This event takes a lot of parent volunteers so please sign up to help. A sign up sheet will be posted at the front desk next week. SCDC purchased t-shirts for all the children to wear on the day of the bike-a-thon. The t-shirts will be passed out that day. The event will take place on Wednesday, October 20th.
We appreciate all you do to support us!!! Thank you!!!!!!
School Directories – Will be sent home tomorrow

Weekly Director's Update
Happy Thursday!!
I can’t believe this weekend we are in the month of May! This school year has just flown by at lightning speed. We have had such a great year with your children. We have many fun and exciting things going on these last three weeks of school. The children will be studying oceans, celebrating Texas and our families (moms & dads). Our chapel time this month will be on how God has called each person to be a good disciple. Our bible verse is “A happy heart makes the heart cheerful…”Proverbs 15:13. The children will be finishing up the alphabet and the color of the month is blue and the shape of the month is the crescent. Here is a list of reminders for the last three weeks of school so please make note:
This Monday, May 3rd Spring Program & Open House – The program starts at 6:3pm, please have your child in their classrooms by 6:15. The open house with the silent auction baskets, pre ordered pizza dinner and bake sale immediately follow the program. (Please check your child’s folder for a reminder flyer about this event.) This is for all of our SCDC students and families. We hope to see you there!!

I can’t believe this weekend we are in the month of May! This school year has just flown by at lightning speed. We have had such a great year with your children. We have many fun and exciting things going on these last three weeks of school. The children will be studying oceans, celebrating Texas and our families (moms & dads). Our chapel time this month will be on how God has called each person to be a good disciple. Our bible verse is “A happy heart makes the heart cheerful…”Proverbs 15:13.
