End of September News

Hello Preschool Families! September is coming to an end quicker than it began and we've transitioned out of our "All About Me" theme and into "Family and Friends". This week we made friendships bracelettes to share with a friend, learned about different types of families, and we even made a warm blanket to share with someone in need at the Bethany Crisis Shelter.

Our Grandparent's Tea Party was a success. The preschoolers were adorable as usual, especially when they sang their songs on the stage. Some kids are natural stars (*Julia!), others were quite shy, but ALL of them were cute cute cute! It was fun meeting some of the Grandparents, and the children loved showing off their family members. I got to learn some fun grandparent facts from the preschoolers. One preschooler told me that her grandpa was 48 years old and could lift anything. Another preschooler told me his grandpa invented choo choo trains. Another preschooler told me that his grandpa has the most tools in the world and fixes everything. The ability to bake sweet treats was a common favorite trait that the children loved about their Grandmas, but one preschooler told me she loved her Grandma because she let her watch movies past her bedtime (don't worry...I won't tell who!).

Ashton had his V.I.P. day last week where the children got to ride bikes, decorate cookies, and learn all about our friend Ashton. Ashton's dad read the children a super awesome football book, and the kids got to give Ashton some birthday spankings.

We've begun talking about the letters W and X. We need more W and X pictures/words for our letter wall so please feel free to bring things in to share.

A big thanks to all who've volunteered to come in and help out with lunch time and those who've come in to read to the class. It's always wonderful having you!

And to end this post, here are two pictures I had that I thought were too cute not to share:
