Pumpkin the guinea pig
I just wanted to let everyone know that Pumpkin passed away this weekend. She has been a part of my class since I became a lead teacher five years ago. She had an impact on a lot of children and families. She was a very big part of our class over the years. A few weeks after school started I could tell that she has not doing good so that’s why I stopped bringing her to class. I have talked with the children about her staying at home because she didn’t feel good and that Mikayla’s pig would start visiting us. Her name is Leona. I won’t come out and talk about Pumpkin unless it is brought up. I just want to warn you in case it comes up we will talk about it and then talk about what a great pig she was.
Class Parties
We are having our class parties on Thursday October 31st and Friday November 1st. There will be sign-up sheets out for party treats. The children are invited to wear costumes if they want and we will parade around the school before the party. The morning parties will be at 10:30 and the afternoon party will begin around 2:00!
October Family Fun Night Tuesday starting at 5:30
We will be highlighting the importance of dramatic play and different aspects of early literacy. Come in your Halloween costume and enjoy some of the teacher’s favorite stores, then stay for our Costume contest. There are 5 different categories this year and the winner from each will receive $10 off of next month’s tuition. The categories are: cutest, best homemade, most creative, best family themed, and spookiest.
This week in the Dragonfly Class
This week in the Dragonfly Class we will be talking about things that scary us and how we can feel ok when we are afraid. We will also talk about what is real and what is pretend. We will be making spiders and webs, creating scarecrows and little monsters!

Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins sitting on the gate
The first one said “Oh my it’s getting late!”
The second one said “There’s a chill in the air”
The third one said “But we don’t care”
The fourth one said “I’m ready for some fun!”
The fifth one said “Let’s run, run and run!”
Oooh went the wind and out went the lights
And the Five little pumpkins rolled out of sight
