It's Back to School Picnic and Apple Time!

I am so excited for our field trip to Willowbrook Farm next week!!  I hope you are all able to attend, it is my favorite trip of the entire year.  In preparation we will be doing some projects that involve APPLES!
Beside a bumpy tractor ride through the apple orchard, pressing cider and tasting great apple products, these are just a couple of the animals we will see.

Please join us Tuesday evening @6 p.m. for our Back to School Picnic!  I am looking forward to seeing all of your family members here!

I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Christina, (John's mom - MWF class) for donating our Barn! The children are having a great time using their imagination and learning about sharing and taking turns.  :)

What is Happening in the Turtle Class this week (and last): 
*Has your child come home with his hands far apart from each other saying the Short A sound as his hands clap together, this is the sound Allie Alligator makes!  Yes, we have begun to work on Zoo Phonics.
Next week we will move to Bubba Bear who reaches way up high to get some honey as he says the B sound.
We will continue through the rest of the month with the color RED and Number #1 as well as the shape Square.

*If your child has mentioned "Fire Alarm" or "Loud Noise" we did have a Fire Drill this week.  This will happen once a month and the children will soon become accustomed to it.  It is very important for them to learn what to do, so we will keep practicing!
*We also heard the story of the Good Samaritan from the Book of Luke 10 at our Chapel time and discussed "Kindness" and how to show love to others.
