Preschool Weekly Update -week of 10/21

Breathing in, I am still water. I reflect the sky faithfully. Look, I have a full moon within my heart….

( from the poem “Breathing”)

Hello parents,

This poem from, Thich Nhat Hanh, came to mind when the children and teachers were talking about the very bright moon last night.

We will be finishing up our month long theme of “Orchard Harvest” this week. We will be exploring the skins and shells that come from fruits and nuts. Today the preschoolers made their afternoon snack! They made apple turnovers with freshly picked green apples from my tree. The classroom smells wonderful!

Here are the guidelines for our preschool’s participation in the school’s Halloween festivities. On Thursday, October 31st, we will meet at assembly near the 4 square area. A parent or adult caregiver must walk with your child during the school parade. Your child will be signed in after the parade. Your child’s backpack can be left by the preschool door before you you walk over to the assembly. IMPORTANT: Make sure your child can remove their costume to use the potty. Please practice this at home.

Thank you all for meeting with me last week for Parent/Teacher conferences. Together we can help your child/ren be their best selves!

Have a restful weekend.

Peace, Ms. Grace and Miss Rosie
