As we enter the very busy month of December, may you remember the true meaning of the season.
We will start out our month with an all day session for both the AM and the PM classes.
We will not be studying any letters this month as it is quite busy. We will learn about the color yellow, the # 4 and our shape of the month is quite appropriately a star.
ØAnnual Mom’s day out:
AM Mom’s day out will be held on Wed, Nov.30th. PM will be Thurs. Dec. 1st. Friday, Dec 2nd will be a regular school day. The children will come from 9:30-2:30. Your child will need a pillow, blanket and a lunch. You can use this time for wrapping, shopping or just relaxing. We will use this time to finish presents and practice our play. We will also relax and watch a movie. If for some reason, you feel that this is too long of a day for your child, let us know and we will work with you.
ØChristmas Party Tuesday, Dec 20th: There will be a sign up posted as you come in main preschool door! If you have signed up for the last 2 parties, please wait a few days to give some other parents a chance to sign up. If after a few days, there are still open spaces, please feel free to sign up. . We appreciate your generosity in providing treats for our celebrations, however the sign up lists are created from past experience of how much the children will truly eat. We are asking that food provided be limited to what is on the lists. If you still want to send something, a cubby treat is welcome. If you are planning to come back for the party, come back around 10:30/2:00
You know who will arrive @ 11:00/2:30.

REMINDER: Every child needs an approved safety seat to go. If you are not transporting your child, please leave a seat with whoever is. Rain/snow date is Dec. 7th.
ØDon’t forget your Scholastic book order! The children enjoy the books that we read to them and every month there are $1 books in the flyer. Check it out and encourage your child to read.
