South Magazine First Annual Cutest Kid Contest

Field Trip!

It was an especially exciting day for two of our 3s classes.  Mrs. Smith/Mrs. Heebner's class and Miss Kathleen/Mrs. Hennessy's class went to the pumpkin patch at the Islands YMCA!  We kept our fingers crossed that it wouldn't start raining again and we had to dodge a few puddles, but we had a great time!

We listened to a silly Halloween trick-or-treat story.

We went on a hayride.

We picked pumpkins from the pumpkin patch.

We played on some of the big kid playground equipment.

We painted and decorated a paper plate pumpkin.

We ate a delicious lunch.  (We especially liked the Oreos!)

Then we went home!

Ms. Brittany's and Mrs. Horton's class

It was an especially special day in one of our 4s classes today.  If you look at the pictures below, you can probably guess what day it was...Crazy Hat Day!  Besides all of the regular work at calendar and crafts and having fun, the class took some time out to pose for some photos!

A crazy hat is fun...

but it's even more fun with a friend!

We wore our hats while we were working hard...

and while we were being silly!

Some of us preferred flowers to our hats!

There were a lot of hats in our classroom restaurant today!

There were quite a few sports hats in the room too.

Everybody smile!

 

Now that our pictures are done, can we please go back and play?

Thank you!

We'd like to say a very big thank you to the Morris family for donating their extra refrigerator to our preschool.  Our old one started conking out over the summer, but after nearly 25 years of service we really couldn't complain!  Now our water is cold once again, our apples are nice and crisp, and our boo-boo bags are freezing cold and ready for action.   Thanks!

Thanks also to the Clark family who called and offered their back-up fridge; and to Mrs. Smith's husband and Miss Kathleen's husband who did the hard work of switching out the old unit for the new one.

Spotlight on Mrs. Jones' Class!

Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Hill had some busy bakers today!  After cooking, they all said,"Cheese!" or "Cookie!" and smiled for the camera.  Can you tell they've been talking about the letter c?

Happy Fall!  We've had a cool-down in our weather that coincides with the arrival of October.  We've seen lots of sweaters and jackets and long pants in school this week!

Happy October Newsletter

As we prepare to say goodbye to September and welcome October, here is a copy of the information being sent home in backpacks today and tomorrow.  If you continue down to the bottom, you'll also see some of our preschoolers getting ready for fall!

WIPP NEWS

Happy October!

October is National Fire Prevention month. We’ll be discussing fire safety in our classrooms and enjoying a visit from the Southside Fire Department on October 19th. This is also a great time to review your home escape plan.

Fall Conferences
Look for information from your child’s teacher about a fall conference. There is no school for students on Monday, October 24, for our parent/teacher conferences. Some of you may prefer a phone or email conference, or a time before or after school, and our teachers will try to accommodate your schedule.

Halloween Information
On Monday, October 31st, our 3s and 4s will go trick-or-treating next door at Summer Breeze. We’ll wear our Halloween costumes on that day and walk over to visit the residents and sing our Halloween songs for them. Because we’re just across the lawn from Summer Breeze we won’t need chaperones for this “trip” but most classes will have their Halloween parties later that morning so make sure you check your child’s class monthly calendar.

Arrival and Departure
Thank you for your patience as we’ve worked out the beginning of the year kinks in our carpool. Please remember that if you need to drop you child off at school before 8:50 we have our Early Birds program available for $2 per day. Our teachers use the time before school prepping for the day so please help us keep that time free for them.

Forms and Documents

 If you haven’t returned the following, please check your folders and get them to us as soon as possible

• Immunization forms/shot records
• WIPP Handbook form (found on the last page of the handbook)
• Permission form to use your child’s photo

Miscellaneous

• Thank you to everyone who’s sent in printer/toner cartridges. Any and all kinds are appreciated!
•  If anyone has a gently used refrigerator they’d like to donate to the preschool, please let us know. Our circa 1990 model is finally slowing down and needs replacing.
• Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 15th! Wilmington Island Presbyterian Church is having their Fall Festival. More info will be coming home in October.

Thank you again for all you do--and for sharing your child with us each day!

There was a lot of happy noise coming from our 2s today!   We had tea parties, housecleaning, and cars under bridges--all at the same time!

Our 3s had a lot of teamwork going on:  working at the office center; sharing books; getting help from the teacher with rubbings; organizing trucks; and working in the kitchen.

Here you see our 4s at their morning free play time; working on their calendar skills; and listing some L words for their letter of the week.

Lunch Bunch, Thursday, September 22

As you can see, the rain didn't dampen spirits at Lunch Bunch today!
