As I prepared report cards and conference forms this past week, I had tears in my eyes.  I am so proud of your children and love them all dearly.  They are doing such amazing things in the classroom and I am so excited for them!

We will have a very short week with the Thanksgiving holiday coming up and we will be very busy with conferences.  We will take the two days of school to focus on being thankful with all the blessings that God has blessed us with.  I hope to send all the kiddos home feeling loved and blessed so that you can have a wonderful holiday together.   We will also be learning about the food groups and the importance of eating a balanced meal.  Hopefully we can encourage more children to try new foods and not just eat the jello salads and pie at your Thanksgiving meal.  ;)

As a reminder of the people in our community who are not as blessed as we are, I ask that you and your family take some time to purchase a few non-perishable items to donate to our local food pantry this week.  I will have a box sitting outside our classroom door and you can bring them anytime when you drop off or pick up your children.  The box will also be out during conferences.  Thank you for remembering the people in our own community who we can bless this holiday season.  Every child and family deserves to eat a nice meal together on Thanksgiving.

BIG hugs for our amazing preschool family!  We are looking forward to spending time with you during conferences.

 These boys are amazing builders!

 Spiders in the sensory table.

 Spiders and webs in the hallway!

 Some of us use whiteboards because we don't like to get messy.  ;)

 

 

 We are getting so good at counting and number recognition.  Keep working on this at home!

 

 The office and the grocery store are always busy during "Grow Your Brain" time.

 Making beautiful art!

 On election day, we voted for what our class party would be.  We earned a class party by filling our friends' buckets.  :)
