MWF Preschool News - Week of November 1


Dear MWF Families,

This week our theme was Emotions for letter E Week. We really enjoyed discussing the different emotions/feelings such as happy, sad, angry, and scared. Our Show and Share helper brought in a letter E item which was a small elephant.

We were fortunate to have two good weather days! On Monday we went outdoors for a fresh air walk and sang some songs led by our very own parent helper! On Wednesday we were blessed again to have another parent helper and sunny weather! We were very thankful to go outside and play on the playground, especially after many recent rainy days.

We also celebrated another birthday! We used the Easel this week for painting and our children had a great time creating their own masterpieces. Our students have such great creativity! Our paintings are right outside the classroom. Please take a moment and enjoy the children’s art gallery as you are walking by.

Thank you to all of our parents for coming out to Parent Conferences! Your children are doing so wonderfully in Preschool! We appreciate everyone’s feedback and suggestions, as you help us to continue to grow to provide an excellent class for your child.

Remember to join us at Chapel @ 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday November 11th!

Our BROWN DAY is Friday November 13th. Please encourage your child to wear BROWN!
