Christmas Party 2010

We had so much fun at our Preschool Christmas party! It was great getting to be Elf Helpers and learning about all the jobs that the elves do to help Santa get ready for Christmas. We made toys (Santa Puppets), wrapped presents (to give to our parents; hope you liked them!), filled stockings, and decorated cookies! Then we found the presents those sneaky elves left for us outside in the yard!
I hope everyone is enjoying Christmas break and can't wait to see everyone again on Jan 4!!!

Thanksgiving Feast

We had a great time at our Thanksgiving feast, and for the first time ever, all of my students attended! Yay! We made turkeys out of cookies and had some other fun "feast" foods! I hope your child told you all about it! Thanks again to all the moms who helped and who sent food that made our feast a success!



Afternoon class is on top, morning class is in the middle and our "turkeys" are at the bottom!

Halloween Party

We had so much fun at our Halloween Party and parade! It was great getting to wear our costumes to school and we hope our parents liked our parade and Monster song!

Corn Maze

What a fun day we had at the Bluebell Corn Maze. we played, explored, and learned a lot about cows. We even learned that our entire class together weighs as much as 1 baby cow!!! Thanks to Reagan's mom Amanda, Reese's mom Chasidi, and Pheonix's mom Sherri for helping out in the morning (and a special thanks to Chasidi for the pictures, since Miss Amy forgot her camera!). Thanks to Callie's mom Vana and Isaac's mom Kimberly for helping in the afternoon!

The 1st Day of school

AM class

PM class

We had a great 1st day of school and I am really excited about our group of students this year! It's going to be a great year!

Preschool Parent Night

Preschool Parent Night has been changed from Thurs. Sept. 2 to Fri. Sept. 3 due to a scheduling conflict. It will still be at 6:00 p.m. I'm sorry about the change, but hope to still see many of you there!

Back to School

School is almost here! I am so excited. I hope everyone received their back to school letter. Here are a few reminders for everyone. First, if I have not received your registration papers I ned them AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!!! I cannot emphasize it enough. I have a hard time getting everything ready without any information on your child. Even if your child attended last year, I still need you to fill out the papers again.
Remember on the first day of school to bring a water bottle, a paint shirt, and a backpack. Also just a little FYI, I may be taking pictures of the students with their mom on the 1st day.
I am so excited for this upcoming school year and can't wait to get to know all the students.
See you soon!

Thank You to Addy's Grandma and my good friend Sil Phillips for this picture of graduation!
Graduation was a great night and we had a wonderful turnout! The Am class performed the play "The Little Red Hen" and the PM class performed "THe House That Jack Built". Thanks to all you wonderful families or all your support this past year. I've said it a million times, but I had the most supportive group of parents this year. It makes such a difference in the life of your child!
For those moving on to Kindergarten or other preschools, I will miss you, but I wish you the best and I know you will do great!
For those returning, See you on Sept 7th!

I'm Sorry

I'm sorry for a couple of things. First, some of the photo CDs didn't burn correctly. If you need a new photo CD, please let me know and I will get you a new one.
Second, I failed to take any pictures of graduation. If you have any you would like to share for the blog please send them to me at aguymon@ubtanet.com.
Also, if you have any input on the blog (if you read it, how to make it better, it was worthless, etc) please write a comment and let me know, so I can improve it for future years.
Again thanks for all your support and apologies for all the mistakes!

Last Week of School

Just a quick note about the last week of school. Tuesday, I would like BOTH classes to come at 9:00 a.m. for a joint program practice. Please COME TO PRESCHOOL FIRST! This is so important, because it is imperative that we run through our program together. After we have practiced we will walk down to the Park behind the Library. We will leave preschool at about 9:45. Any parents and siblings are welcome to join us at the park. If you would like to bring a treat to share, you can. I will provide juice boxes for all the preschool students. Pick up will be 11:15 at the park. Remember, DO NOT MEET AT THE PARK AT 9:00! In case of inclement weather, we will have a movie party at school instead.
Graduation will be at 5:00 in my backyard. There will be a light refreshment afterwards. The students have been working on different books all year long and are very excited to take them home. Your tuition balance must be all paid in order to take your child’s books home. Please pay this before graduation so I can credit you.
Thank You for all your support this past year. I have really enjoyed getting to know your child and watching all the children grow. We have had a super year! Please call with any questions.

Fire Station Field Trip

Finally here are the pictures from the Fire Station! Thank you to all the parents who came. We really had a great time! A very BIG thank you to Ryan Clayburne for doing the tour for us. He is really great! I hope you took the time to go through the pamphlets that were sent home and most importantly discussed Fire Safety with your child.

PM Class

AM Class

Fire fighter Ryan in all his gear. Now the kids know not to be afraid of firefighters.

Easter Egg Hunt

We had a great time at our Easter egg hunt, although the weather was a little cool. We made little bunny baskets to put the eggs in that we found outside in our play yard. We also colored real eggs to take home. What a fun adventure!

Looking for Leprechauns

For our St Patrick's celbration, we had a "special visitor" to our classroom: Lucky the Leprechaun. He came into the classroom while we were outside playing. He sure left a mess of Leprechaun dust! We didn't catch him, but he left us a yummy snack of Leprechaun cookies and magical leprechaun liquid. This is our board with pictures of what we think that tricky leprechaun looks like.

Museum Field Trip!

We had a great time on our field trip to the Dinosaur Museum and we learned a lot! Thank You to the Moms who came with us! I hope you had a fun time too!

Dino Museum Trip Info

Our dinosaur museum trip to Vernal has been scheduled for the afternoon of March 11 (please note the change of dates). Both classes will meet at 12:00 that day. We need to be at the museum at 12:45. Pick up will be at 2:45. I am looking for 3-4 parents to help with transportation and supervision. If you are interested let me know ASAP. I do not mind you bringing your young children, but you will need to pay the admittance fee for them.
