An important milestone today!

Today your children went to their first day of preschool by themselves!  That's a big deal!

Here is what they did:

Choice Time:  The children played outside today.  The water table, the pump, and the sand table were all available in addition to the other toys.

Circle Time:  We sang "Rise and Shine."  We danced to the song "Stop and Go!"  and we read the book "I Love School!"  The book was short and sweet and was about all of the activities available at school.

Snack Time:  Teddy Grahams and Apple Juice was served.  The children learned they needed to be excused from the table, push their chair under the table, throw away their napkin and put their juice glass in the bin before they could play.

Free Play time:  All of the centers were open.  If a child painted, that picture will be sent home next time since it needed to dry.

One of the important rules we covered today was "Walk Not Run."  It helps to make moving as a group from one place to another so much better.

Thank you to everyone for all of your support of your children and helping them adjust to preschool.
Thank you also for finishing up your paperwork and turning it in. 

Reminder that the dates have been set for the Pumpkin Patch field trip: Yellow Group is Tuesday, October 7 and Green Group is Wednesday, October 8.  Hope you can all make it!
