Butterfly Class News Week of November 17 - 21   Family Fun Night This Friday, November 21, from 5:30-7:00 is our Holiday Make-and-Take Family Fun Night. Come make some holiday crafts with your kids, chat with the teachers, take photos in the photo booth and have fun with your school friends! We would love to see you there! Last Week Thank you to all of our families for being so flexible with the weather! We still had a great week in the Butterfly class, and had fun making bats and owls, learning how they are different than us, and singing our winter concert songs. The kids are learning the songs so quickly. Are you hearing them sing any of them at home? Also, make sure to check out the owl projects hanging in the hallway across from the classroom. They turned out great!   Winter Concert Make sure to mark your calendars for the Winter concert which will be held on Tuesday, December 9. We are looking for a pianist for both concerts - Monday, December 8 and Tuesday, December 9. If you or someone you know are willing and able to volunteer to accompany our Little Acorn concerts, please let Katie know. Thanks! Sign up for Remind!
