Week
of October 14th
In
case you are new to our school or were unaware parents are required
to transport and stay with their child during our field trips. It’s
a great time to meet and visits with other families!
Pumpkin
Patch Field Trip
Our
pumpkin patch field trips are this
week on Thursday, Oct 17th
and Friday, Oct. 18th.
We will meet at the pumpkin patch at 9:45 and start exploring the
different areas at 10:00.
They are very strict that we stay together as a group and move from
one area to another together. It is sometimes hard on the kids to
not want to climb while we are waiting but if you get there early you
can check out the store or hang out by the picnic tables.
Each
child enrolled in our preschool gets one visit through the preschool,
if you come both days you are welcome to join us both days but you
will need to pay for the 2nd
day. We will have a sign out this week to learn which day you will
come. The
pumpkin patch has asked that only one adult attend with each enrolled
child. Extra adults are welcome to attend. They will just need to
pay at the patch. Younger siblings are welcome as well, children 1
year or younger are free, children older than 1 year will need to pay
at the patch. The cost this year is $5.00 per child/$8
per extra adult.
The price includes: visiting the animals, mini-maze, hay pyramid,
covered hay ride to the patch and a pumpkin. Children will again
receive a bag for their pumpkin. Children must be able to carry
their pumpkin from the patch without adult assistance. Parents may
purchase extra pumpkins at the patch for the going rate per pound.
Parking
can be very tight this time of year, so you might want to carpool.
Remember this is a rain or shine event, dress in layers and wear
boots. You want to have an extra change of clothes ready for the car
if it is muddy.
T-shirts
All
t-shirts have been put into your child's cubby. We hope that they
are all willing to wear them at the pumpkin patch!
Conference
Schedule
There
will be no school on November 7th
so that we can meet with everyone and discuss how wonderful your
child is. This week we will be setting out a sign up sheet for
conferences, most conference times will be on the 7th
but we will also have a few slots before and after school that week
as well. We will also be sending home a paper for you questions and
concerns, if we could get that back at least a week before you
conference it would be extremely helpful.
This
week in the Star Class
This
week we are going to get ready for our farm field trip! We are going
to read some of our favorite books about farms, play animal charades,
and build activities that help us think about the different things we
might see on the farm.
Word
Wall
This
week we will NOT be having a letter of the week. Instead the
children are welcome to bring in items that they might see around a
farm!
