Wow, how time flies, its November already.\u00a0 I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving celebrations and had a safe Halloween.\u00a0 Josh went as a goalie this year (surprise surrise), Joey dressed up as Eeyore, my husband Eric was Heisenberg (Walter White) and I took the easy way out and went as a Hockey mom with my Tim Hortons in hand \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

I am happy to report that things are running well at the preschool and I do not have a lot of information to pass on this month.\u00a0 We do not have a general meeting this month and so parents have the option of doing homework or attending the workshop “Teacher Tom” put on by the council on November 14. The teachers will in attendance at the workshop as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Have a great month and I shall see most of you at the beginning of December! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns Johannakswanson@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Count down to Christmas…….jingle bells jingle bells!!!!!!!\u00a0 When is it not considered too early to put my tree up?<\/p>\n

The ‘All About Me’ Pages are almost all in and, as soon as they are, we plan to copy the ‘All About Me’ book for each family. This is a great way to learn about your friends, as well as is a nice keepsake. At the end of the year we also will give an “Individual Portfolio Binder”, that is filled with photos, stories, and artwork from your child – these binders are stored at the end of the cubbies, so feel free to look at your child’s binder in progress.<\/p>\n

To help cover the costs of the copying of the booklets, and the creating of the binders, the class reps will be collecting $5 (per child in the preschool) from each family. We are also looking for a volunteer to look after the printing of the booklets. Please talk to a teacher if you are willing to do this or if you have questions about this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
