Back to School Again

Welcome Back everyone!! We are so happy to see all of the familiar faces and we truly hope everyone enjoyed the summer months! This September school year has much to look forward to. We begin our month with warm welcomes to new children and lessons to get us ready for a great school year. Below are a few reminders to have the new school year go as smoothly as possible:

-be sure to arrive to school no later than 9 am. This rule is strictly enforced so all of the children learn as much as possible!
-Please bring in weather appropriate changes of clothing to leave in the cubby.
-Remember:everything should be labeled with first and last names.

Keep your eye posted for upcoming October events like pumpkin picking, class pictures and our yummy fundraiser!

Darling Dolphins

The Dolphins would like to welcome Miss Cindy to our class, and welcome back Miss Lisa! Happy birthday to Colin on the 3rd and Nicole on the 20th. We wish you both a very happy 1st birthday. Colin and Nicole are taking steps and will be moving to the turtle room in September. We will miss you both. Welcome also Trevor and Alexandra to the Dolphin room. Candace is now crawling backwards and shaking her head "no"! Kenzie loves riding "lucky" the horse, and standing by the walking bar looking at her pretty face. Mason is our little rollie polly, he is all over the place rolling around. We also get a kick out of his monster sounds "Grr, Grr". During the month of September we will be learning about making friends, my family and me. Please send in family pictures for the week of the 8th and a picture of your house for the week of the 22nd.

Thank you
Miss Karen, Miss Cindy & Miss Lisa

Terrific Turtles

We can't wait to start learning all of our colors, numbers, shapes, and letters. Our theme for September is "All About Me"; we will learn about how to make friends, our family, our body, and houses and buildings. Happy birthday to Colin and Nicole and Happy belated birthday to Samantha! Please remember to label everything that comes to the school with first and last name, and please remember to check the parent board and clasroom door for important anouncements.
