PM Christmas Party

Our Christmas party was so much fun, I am doing a separate post for each class. The theme of our party was Santa's Helpers. Because there were so many good boys and girls this year, Santa needed some extra help. We learned how to do all the elf jobs. We made presents (which I hope you all love!) and then wrapped them. We filled a stocking and found all the mistakes the elves had made before the presents were delivered. Then we took a break and listened to an elf's favorite story "The Night Before Christmas". Then we did the most fun elf job of all -- decorating cookies!







When all the elf jobs were completed, we all received an "ELf present" for a job well done. Then we got to sing our favorite Christmas songs we have been practicing for our parents and Grandparents who came to listen.

Thanksgiving Feast

I'm a little behind in posting, so I will try to do better at keeping this blog caught up.
The Tuesday before Thanksgiving we had our "Thanksgiving Feast" at preschool. We learned all about Pilgrims and Native Americans, and made costumes to wear to our feast. For the feast we had Turkey Cookies, which we made, popcorn, and pretzels. It was a fun day and we learned a lot!
AM class below.

PM class below

Turkey cookie that we made. We used frosting as glue and glued a nutter butter cookie to a fudge stripe cookie to make the turkey's body and tail feathers. We then glued on Chocolate chips for the eyes, a candy corn for the beak and a licorice nip for the waddle.

Corn Maze Field Trip

At the end of Oct, we took a field trip to the Bluebell Corn Maze! We had a good time and no one "got lost!" It was a little chilly, but it didn't matter!

We love preschool!

We are so excited for a brand new year of preschool! The first 2 weeks have been fun making new friends and seeing how much we know.
On day 1 we read the book "The Kissing Hand" and painted our very own kissing hands! We also met Mouse and found out what happens "When You Take a Mouse to School"! We have also been learning about friendship, the alphabet and colors.
The morning class.

The afternoon class

I am so happy to be your child's teacher this year! We have a super group of kids in each class and I am excited to get to know each of them better.

Back to School Time

Summer is almost over! Can you believe it? I can't! Here is the back to school info. All of this was also sent home in a letter. If you haven't received it yet, you should shortly.
There are a few things your child will need to bring with him/her to school. The first is a paint shirt or smock. An old adult sized t-shirt will work great! This will protect your child’s clothing from all the fun art we will be doing. We will be painting on the first day of school, so make sure your child is prepared.
The second item is some sort of water bottle for your child to keep at school. This will make drinks more accessible and will eliminate paper cup waste. I will keep them clean and well stocked for your child.
I also suggest you send your child with a backpack or something to carry all their work home with them. They will have their own cubby to keep these in and it will make it easier to bring their work home to show you what they are learning.
When you send your child to school, please be sure he/she is dressed appropriately for play. We will have outside play each day, and your child will have a better experience if dressed comfortably.
If you haven't turned in your registration info, please do so as soon as you can. I need some of the info to get things ready for the new school year!
Tuition is $50 and is due by the 15th of each month. Late tuition is $55.
I will be holding a parents night on Thursday, Sept 1st at 6:00 p.m. This will be a chance for you to learn about your child’s school day and for me to answer any questions you may have. It will also be a great opportunity for your child to see his/her new classroom and meet the teacher before school starts.
If you have any questions before then, please call me at 725-0142, or email me at aguymon@ubtanet.com.

Graduation

Preschool graduation was a wonderful night! I am so proud of the students and how well they did. Sorry that these pictures are not very good. My husband sat at a weird angle, so the pictures didn't turn out. If anyone has any better ones they would like to share, you can email them to me at aguymon@ubtanet.com.

Getting ready to start! What a great group of students! I love them so much!

The montherena!

We had a fun year filled with lots of learning. Thank you so much for sharing your children so much! I love them so much and always feel like a piece of them belongs with me. I am excited for them to move on to Kindergarten and beyond; I know they will do great things!

Easter Egg Hunt

On Thursday, we had our Easter Egg hunt at preschool. Even though it was a little overcast and cold, we all still had a great time finding eggs!

Fire Station Field Trip

We had a great time touring the Fire Station with "Firefighter Ryan". We learned a lot about what Firefighters do and also learned about Fire Safety.

Ryan taught us that matches are not toys. Kids should never play with matches or lighters, and if they find matches, they should tell a grown up.

Firefighter Ryan also dressed in his full gear to show the kids that even though firefighters may look sa little scary, if we are in a fire, we should not run away from them.

Most of the kids agreed that the best part of the day was getting to sit in the Fire Truck! At the end of the trip we took some great pictures of our class in front of the truck. AM class is on top and PM class is on the bottom.

A special Thank you to Ryan Clayburn for being so great and showing us how neat Firefighters are. Also thanks to Reagan's mom Amanda, Sara's mom Stacie, Callie's mom Vana, and Camden's mom Ami for coming with us.

Dinosaur Museum

We had a great time at the Vernal Dinosaur Museum! A big thank you to all the moms who helped both with rides and at the museum. You will never know how much I appreciate your support! We learned a lot about dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. Another big thank you to the museum staff for making our day so enjoyable!
