Sung to: “The Hokey Pokey”

You put your antlers in. You put your antlers out. You put you antlers in and you shake them all about. You do the Reindeer Pokey and you turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about! You put your hooves in…. You put your red nose in…. You put your fluffy tail in… You put your reindeer body in…

Superman Prayer-to the tune of Superman
Thank you God.
For giving us food!
Thank you God,
For giving us food!
For the food that we eat!
For the friends that we meet!
Thank you God for giving us food!
Amen

We had a great time wearing costumes and trick-or-treating through the cars during our Trunk-or-Treat as well as playing games and bouncing in the Bounce House!!  Thank you to all of our families that hosted trunks and supplied goodies for the night, we couldn’t have done it without you!!  A special “thanks” to Mr. Greg from the library for our story time as well!

 Looking ahead to the holidays, we will have our Holiday Program on Sunday January 8 at 1:00pm (Pre-kindergarten) and 3:00pm (Preschool) so mark your calendars and save the date!  (The children will sing songs followed by a few treats and social time)

I have a turkey, big and fat
He spreads his wings, (Fan hands at hips)
And walks like that (Strut)
His daily corn he would not miss (Pretend to eat corn)
And when he walks, he sounds like this, (‘Gobble, Gobble, Gobble’)

Wow!! What a great turnout we had at our Art Fair!!  The children were so proud to show off their Art, I had a marvelous time and hope those of you that attended enjoyed yourselves as well. We have quite a busy October planned so please be sure to check the Calendar of Events List .

 The staff has been busy gathering information about each child and their progress in preschool; don’t forget to get signed up for conferences, to hear how your child is doing.

 If you would like to help provide meals for the staff during conferences, donations can be dropped off in the office. We have Parent Advisory members organizing the meals, but need donations to pay for the food.

All children will have their pictures taken on picture day, proofs will be sent home along with an order form so you can decide if you like the pictures before buying them.

We are partnering with Westminster Presbyterian to host a SPOOK-TACULAR event on Wednesday October 26 from 5:30-7:30pm. There will be dinner, a costume contest, games, bounce house, and a TRUNK-or-TREAT.  If you or someone you know would like to host a trunk, please let me know.  The idea is to decorate your trunk, wear a costume and pass out treats from your vehicle.  We expect about 100-150 children to attend.  This event will be free and open to the public.

Use this link to access online ordering of Scholastic books.

Our school code is

FK82Y

Our school earns free books with each order!
DUE the 10th of each month.

Over the next month the children will study these fun topics. In order for us to provide extended opportunities like cooking and measuring activities along with the spectacular portion of the holidays we would appreciate donations of pumpkins, gourds, real and fake leaves and canned pumpkin. Any size will do! Thanks, The Westminster Girls
