August Happenings

Tuition is $30 this month because we have just 4 sessions of preschool.
Our End of Summer party will be on Thursday, August 13 from 10:00-11:30. We are having a water party, so bring your child to school lathered in sunscreen, wearing a swimsuit and shoes that can get wet! We are going to slip and slide, run through the sprinklers, eat Popsicles and have a great time outdoors!

Coming next month:

*Preschool Open house will be on Wednesday, September 2. (I'll be sending post cards out in a couple weeks.)

*First day of school will be September 9 or 10 depending on your child's class.

**The only thing your child will need for school is a backpack or bag that can fit a full sized sheet of paper in it without being folded.

2009-2010 school Calendar

*Please take a glance at this year's days off and possible field trip dates so that you can have them in the back of your mind. This is a tentative schedule, so do not print anything yet. I will update themes, letters, field trip info, and any other pertinent information on a monthly basis.

A - Camping - We - Will - Go!

I thought I'd share the lyrics to a song the kids are having so much fun singing!
(Tune: The Farmer and the Dell)

A camping we will go (make hiking, walking movements)
A camping we will go
Hi ho the dairy-o
A camping we will go!

We'll pitch the tent right here (make a big tent with arms)
We'll pitch the tent right here
Hi Ho the dairy o
We'll pitch the tent right here!

We'll crawl into the tent (crawl)
We'll crawl into the tent
Hi ho the dairy o
We'll pitch the tent right here!

We're having lots of fun (jump up and down)
We're having lots of fun
Ho ho the dairy o
We're having lots of fun!

FYI

I like to let you know when I find something worth sharing! while shopping at Kohl's this week, I found that they had three great books for $5 each (all are hardcover). One of my favorites to read to the class is What do you do with a tail like this! It's a great book about crazy animals and what they used different parts of their bodies for. For example, did you know that a cricket's ears are in it's knees? Anyway, the kids ewe and awe when I read it!

Summer Time Pictures

Here's a couple of pictures I've taken so far this summer. Enjoy!

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Funny stuff

The kids have been cracking me up lately!

One boy was showing his show and tell the other day, and he pulled out two different toys. The kids were in awe. He boasted "Yeah, I have a lots of toys" and of course the kids were saying they did too, but his reply was this. "I have ten thousand, eight hundred, ten thousand, eight hundred, ten thousand, eight hundred, ten thousand, eight hundred, ten thousand eight hundred." I think he wanted to get the point across that he had many many toys!

Yesterday, a little girl was sitting at the desk working on her paper. She was telling someone "I'm gonna be the hottest girl in the talent show!"

Another little girl was done with her work. She seemed to be pondering something. All of the sudden she says "Teacher, I think when I get home I'm gonna eat a pear!" I said "you're going to eat a pear?" She said "yeah, they make me go craaaazzy!"

A little guy in my class today told me
"Teacher, that scared me out of death!"

I always tell the kids they are "rockin' my world" if they are doing something exceptionally well. One kid always asks me "Teacher, am I rockin' your world?"
