Today we celebrated our families by having our annual Turkey Trot Parade and Family Celebration! Children paraded around the front of School Number Four and participated in the Turkey Hokey Pokey! Families were invited back to their child's class for a feast. Wishing all of our Pre-K children and families a wonderful Thanksgiving! School will be closed Wednesday, November 22nd- Friday, November 24th. School resumes on Monday, November 27th
Today we celebrated World Kindness Day! The theme for the year 2023 is "Be Kind Wherever Possible". Each class talked about ways they can be kind and why it's so important to be nice and helpful towards others. We talked about how we help by cleaning our mess, holding doors open for people, smiling and greeting one another, helping family with laundry as well as helping someone if they fall. We then recited the "Pledge of Kindness" and placed our handprint on our Kindness banner.
Today we had fun at our Fall Festival! Thank you Councilwoman Melissa Miller for donating pumpkins and fall decorations to our event. We each picked our own pumpkin, explored the inside of a pumpkin, went through a fall themed obstacle course and had apple slices for a snack while listening to a story.

This week we learned about scarecrows. We discovered that scarecrows help keep the seeds, fruit and crops safe from birds and other animals. We used our creativity, fine motor skills and followed directions to create our own scarecrows.

Today we had a special visit from the Inwood Fire Department for our Fire Safety Day! We learned the ABC's of fire safety, saw fire fighters and their equipment, fire trucks, ambulances and even held a real fire hose! Ask your child about their fire safety day!
We support one another as we hear of the devastating attacks on Israel.
In Pre-K this week we are immersed into the theme of apples! We learned about where they grow, what colors they can be and even tasted them! We painted with apple slices and pretended to pick apples in our orchard. Ask your child what they learned about apples!
Looking forward to seeing our families this evening for our Back to School Night!
This is a great time to learn about our curriculum, upcoming events, and daily routine.

This morning we participated in a memorial ceremony dedicated to all the lives lost on September 11th, 2001. We also remember and honor the bravery of our community helpers who helped and offered assistance to all those in need on that day.
We had a wonderful first day of Pre-K today! Lots of smiling faces and fun had by all!
