Greetings Congdon Creek Preschool famlies! We've started off on another great school year and are back to being busy as usual. The past couple of weeks we've been focusing on the letters Y and Z. The preschoolers have been having fun finding things that begin with these letters and some even brought Y and Z things in for show-and-share. One preschooler brought in a giant sized zucchini. Another preschooler made a letter Z out of legos.
Eric Paulson was our V.I.P. this week. To celebrate Eric, the children got to paint pirate pictures and play hockey...not to mention have Eric's favorite treat of chocolate cupcakes with sprinkles!
Our theme during these past few weeks has been 'All About Me'. The children have loved looking at their baby outfits, and feel so proud at how much they've grown since being in diapers. The children even asked Miss Renee if she was ever once a baby, and found it hysterical when she replied with a "yes". We've begun discussing the theme of 'Family and Friends' this week. The children made family trees in which they glued pictures of people from magazines onto tree trunks to represent their families. It was cute to see how the preschoolers portrayed their families. One group of boys thought that all dad pictures had to be men with mustaches.
Monday is the Grandparents Tea Party and everybody is looking forward to the party. When we asked the preschoolers what they wanted to serve at the party, there was a unanimous vote to have cupcakes, cookies, and birthday cake. Although we won't be indulging in copious amounts of sugar-induced carbs, we will enjoy goodies with our families and have a nice time.
Just a reminder that we've posted a sign up sheet in the sign-in center for parents, relatives, and friends to come in and read to the children. Sign up for a slot and bring your or your child's favorite book to share! And please remember, you are always welcome to stop on by!
