Week
of October 7th
Thank
you everyone that came to the Carnival on Friday! It was fun
watching the kids play the bean bag toss and the Angry bird game! We
hope you all had fun and thank you to everyone who helped out setting
up, playing games, cooking food, and cleaning. We couldn't have done
it without you!
Pumpkin
Patch Field Trip
Our
pumpkin patch field trips are next 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. We will put maps out this week in
your child's cubby and we hope you all can make it!
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. 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
The
T-shirts are purchased and ready for tying and dying. If this is
something that you have done before or would like to help out with,
let me know. This would count towards your volunteer hours and would
need to get done this week.
This
week in the Star Class
This
week we are going to explore the alphabet using Chicka Chicka Boom
