We all enjoyed having Pete the Cat visit last week! Here's what is coming up:
Butterfly Class News
Week of September 22-26

 
This Week
We said goodbye to Pete the Cat (check out your child's Pete hanging in the hallway), and we are moving on to Chicka Chicka Boom Boom this week. Letters and coconut trees, lots of alphabet books, counting, letter games, and painting are going to fill our week with lots of fun and creative projects. We might even get a chance to watch Chicka Chicka Boom Boom during circle time. 


Carnival is Coming!
Carnival is right around the corner! Friday, October 3rd from 5-8pm, we will have our annual fall carnival. There will be a chili cook-off, lots of fun games including Minion Bowling and the popular Angry Birds game, as well as hot dogs, popcorn, and other yummies to eat. Mark your calendars now. You won't want to miss it!

Empty 2-Liter Bottles Needed
We need empty 2-liter bottles for carnival. If you can save some and bring them to us, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Portfolios and Family Pictures
If you haven't brought in a white, 
2-inch binder, this week would be a great time! We are beginning to collect a few projects already and would like to start assembling the portfolios. We would also love a picture of your family to post on our classroom board. It’s a very helpful tool if a child is having a rough day being away from home. Thanks!

Illness
I know it's only the beginning of the year, but we've already had a few friends out sick. Please remember to call and let us know if your child is sick and won't be at school.

Word Wall
Since we are exploring the WHOLE alphabet this week,  your child may bring in something for sharing and tell us what letter is starts with, and then, as a group at circle time, we will work on learning what sound that letter makes. We have a basket in the classroom to keep things safe until we share them at closing circle. Your child is welcome to bring something each day they attend class.


2014-2015
If you are considering adding any days to your child's enrollment, we still have spots available in the Butterfly Class. I'd be happy to talk to you about it, or you can stop by and see Katie in the office. Also, if you know anyone who is thinking of looking for a preschool this year, let them know it’s not too late to start. We love making new friends even after the first day of school!
