Please plan

A NOTE FROM MRS. DAVIS:
What a wonderful week we had! Not only did our teachers enjoy getting a ton of new things for their class from the NAEYC conference, but I was happy to be back enjoying our students. I especially had a great time at our Family Reading Night. For those of you, who missed it, please consider joining us next month on December 4th.
We have a lot of things coming up in November. We will be introducing our students to the Graph Of Giving as we teach them to share their hearts with someone else. In November, we usually collect food and grocery gift cards for needy families outside of our school, but this year we have 6 families we have recently lost their jobs and are falling on hard economic times. If you are able, we are collecting $5 Publix Gift Cards to help those families from our own school to have a Happy Thanksgiving. Any child who brings in a $5 Publix Gift Card will move their heart onto the Graph of Giving on the Pantry Door.
For those of you who ordered cookie dough, it will be arriving on Wednesday, November 19th. Please plan to pick it up that day and either deliver it to the individuals you sold it to or have a place in your refrigerator or freezer until you can deliver it. It is ok to refreeze or refrigerate, but we do not have space at the school to store it overnight. In all, we raised $1400 on the sale, $850 will be used on a truck full of playground mulch and the rest will be used to enhance our multicultural toys and books in the classrooms. If you are able to help in spreading the mulch, we are looking for help around noon Saturday. Rakes, wheel barrels, and shovels are welcome! If we have a lot of volunteers, it should take about an hour.
We will be holding a Family Turkey Decorating Event. Please check your child’s mailbox for an outline of a turkey. Use your creativity to decorate it any way you wish. Some ideas include using beans, rice, feathers, buttons, or anything found around your house. Please return it before Monday, November 24th so that we can hang them for all to see. Be sure to write your child’s name and class on the back.
Finally, we will be holding Thanksgiving Feasts in all our rooms. Please check your child’s class door to sign up to bring an item for the feast. VPK sign up sheets will be on the pantry doors by the kitchen. Families are invited to join us for this special day so mark your calendars. Remember, we will be closed on Thursday, November 27 and Friday, November 28th in Observance of Thanksgiving.

Our classroom topic of the week was “How Animals Sleep?” and the letter “Z”. On Monday, the children traced and decorated the letter “Z” with different materials. On Tuesday, the children traced, cut and put together a monkey. On Wednesday, they drew a picture of an animal sleeping in their journal. Then, on Thursday, the children made bears and they enjoyed music class with Ms. Michelle. And finally on Friday, the children made bear-shaped cookies.
I am writing you from Dallas where I am attending the NAEYC conference. I want to take a moment to thank my wonderful staff who has worked so hard in my absence to make sure things ran smoothly, especially Miss Jeanne who stood in for me, Miss Delly, and even cooked in the kitchen for Miss Maria. I have learned so much at the conference that I can’t wait to share with the parents and staff. I am always looking to improve my skills as an administrator since my primary training is as a teacher. I had a chance to look at some great new innovative things for the classroom and made some purchases that I know the teachers and students will really enjoy. One of the things I learned was how to put up a Staff Compliment Tree. In the weeks to come you will see it going up. I am asking parents to think of a compliment you can give to the teachers and assistants in your child’s class and turn it in to me on a post it note. Each week, I will add the compliments to the tree. It can be general or specific (I really appreciate it when I pick up my child and Miss X always hugs them as they leave the class. Or I loved the monkey activity that was done in Miss X’s class this week. My child really learned a lot.) You can also mention a quality that makes the teacher special. You will be surprised how special just a few words can make someone feel and it only takes a moment out of your day. Also feel free to submit compliments for our office and kitchen staff. If you do not have any post it notes, just cut out a 3 inch square of paper and use that. I can’t wait to get back and see everyone on Monday.
October 31, 2008
Our classroom topic this week was our country. Monday the children colored an American Flag. On Tuesday, they traced and colored the map of the United States of America.

We are so excited that now 85% of our parents are getting their communications through e-mail. What a great way to save paper! Please continue to check your child’s mailbox to get their free books and work for the week. I also wanted to mention that we have had several parents who have lost their jobs in these hard economic times. If you have a company that is hiring, please let us know so that we can try and help out those who need jobs. Next Friday is our annual Halloween Happening! It is a really fun day not only for our students, but for anyone who wants to come and help out at the school. All kids expect green door are invited to come dressed up in costume. Classes will travel from room to room doing different activities. Parent volunteers will travel with their child’s class and assist.

She went to pick up her 4th grade daughter from school and returned to find that her house had burned down. Her mother and infant child were safe, but the 4 year old perished in the fire. The family is left to deal with not only the loss of a child, but the loss of their home and all their belongings. The Red Cross is providing a hotel for two days. Kids For Kids Academy will be taking up a collection for the family which includes a boy and girl, both in elementary school, the mother, father, aunt, and grandmother who all lived in the home.

A NOTE FROM MRS. DAVIS
It was a real joy to see all the little bunny children as they hunted for eggs on the playground. A special thanks to all the parents who followed our egg filling guidelines by not putting candy in the eggs. It really helps to reinforce our oral health program. Although we did out best to check all of the eggs, if we missed some and candy got home with your child, we apologize. Please keep in mind that anything that goes home in the form of goodie bags either for special events or birthdays, must be approved by an administrator in the main office. Please also remember that because of our participation in the Childcare Food Program, we are not permitted to serve sweet items like cookies or cupcakes during the lunch hour. Therefore, cupcakes can only be served with the afternoon snack. If your child only attends for half of the day and is not in school for snack, we celebrate their special occasions during lunch with items like sugar free popsicles.
Finally, Mr. Davis joins me in wishing all our families who celebrate Easter a special time together.
Dates to Remember:
