Last Week
We had so much fun last week digging into our class pumpkin to investigate what was inside, as well as sharing our cooking project with our Busy Bee friends. We also made our own pumpkin patch, and learned The 5 Little Pumpkins.
This Week
We are moving on to Real vs. Pretend this week. We will be making squish art monsters and telling stories about them. Our Halloween parties will be on Thursday and Friday this week. Please look for the sign-up sheets outside the classroom to sign-up for something to bring. We will be looking for a few parents to come back early and help set up for our party on both days, while we are playing in the playroom. The students can come in costume on Thursday and Friday, as we will be parading through the school and walking across to Kindred to parade and sing. Teacher Jaylene will continue assessments in preparation for Parent/Teacher conferences the following week.
Conferences
If you haven't signed up for conferences, check out the sign-up sheet outside the classroom. They will be held on Thursday, November 6. Let me know if that day doesn't work for your schedule. We can find another time to meet, either before or after school one day.
Portfolios
We only need a few more binders for our portfolios. If you haven't brought one in yet, this would be a great week to do so. Thanks!
Illness
Don't forget to call and let us know if your child is sick and won't be at school. You can call the office directly at 360-693-5614 and leave a message for Teacher Katie. You can also text Teacher Jaylene at 360-624-3673.
Word Wall--Letter E Week
It's E for egg, eat, and elephant this week. Children may bring in something to share that starts with the letter E. 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!
Thank you for sharing your children with us -
Teacher Jaylene and Teacher Sally

Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins, sitting on a gate.
The first one says, "Oh, my, it's getting late."
The second one says, "There's a chill in the air."
The third one says, "But we don't care."
The fourth one says, "I'm ready for some fun."
The fifth one says, "Let's run and run and run!"
Oooooo went the wind and out went the lights.
And the five little pumpkins rolled our of sight.
