A Note From Our Principal
We had so much fun last month engaging in fall lessons, pumpkin themed activities, and classroom celebrations. We also loved seeing so many of you at our Fall Festival! This month, we are focusing on gratitude, connecting with others, and sharing family traditions. Last month we celebrated Diwali Festival of Lights! The families enjoyed walking through the hallway full of lights as the children made lanterns. On November 21st, the children will have a Fancy Feast as they dress up, take photos and enjoy lunch with candles and placemats that they will be making. The children will have the opportunity to share what they are grateful for and a family tradition. We look forward to celebrating the holidays with you and thank you for allowing us to teach and care for your children.
Sincerely,
Karina Medina
Thanksgiving Activities
As the children prepare for the Fancy Friendship Feast, we would like to have the parents join the fun by helping Tom Turkey get out of getting eaten! What will you disguise your Turkey as….have fun and enjoy the time with your children. We will provide Tom Turkey and he will be due on November 15th.
Family Report
Teachers have been working hard and will provide a family report on your child’s accomplishments and goals. Reports will be sent home on November 10th and teachers will follow up with a Care Call during the week of November 14th. During the call, parents have the opportunity to work with their teachers as they can ask questions, see how their child is doing, and come up with ideas of how they both can assist the children. Be on the look out for a call!

We strive for 5’s! Our enrolled family survey launched in October. If you have not received the email, please let us know so we can request it be resent. The survey provides the opportunity for you to give us feedback anonymously on our strengths and areas we can work on. Survey closes November 18.
Cubby Refresh
As a reminder, please make sure to refresh the spare clothing in your child’s cubby. Take home anything that no longer fits and leave a spare set of well-fitting, weather-appropriate clothes.
