Nov 10-14

Dear Sunshine Families, Last week: Conferences went great! It was so nice to sit with all you of you and chat about your kids and the fun things we are doing in the Sunshine Class. If we were unable to meet last week let's talk and make a plan for after school in the coming weeks. This week: We don't have class on Tuesday in observance of Veteran's Day. In class we will begin talking about friends and families, the holiday season is a time to celebrate the people we care for so we will be talking about those special people in our lives and why we love them. We will also learn about homes; everyone has one but many are different so we will look at all the different kinds of homes in the world. We will read In a People House and The Little House. LAPSK Board Meet and Greet: This week on Thursday you have the opportunity to stop in the Conrad room (the room by the upstairs drinking fountain) to meet our wonderful preschool board members. This is an opportunity to meet them, learn about what they do and share thoughts and ideas with them. Family Fun Night: The date of our family fun night has been changed to Nov 21st. This is a Friday rather than the Thursday it originally was. Our class is helping with a fun turkey project. We already have help prepping the project, now we are in need of some volunteers to help run the table during the event. This is a free event and so much fun, I hope everyone can make it! Fundraisers: Our next fundraiser is our annual bake sale. The sale will run during class times on Monday November 24 and Tuesday November 25. We are looking for donations of baked goods to be brought in those days. Fred Meyers gives back to schools! Go to https://www.fredmeyer.com/topic/community-rewards-4 to register your rewards card and give back to Little Acorn Preschool and Kindergarten Word Wall: We are continuing with the letter "G" this week. Kids can bring anything starting with the letter "G"! Inclement Weather: The weather is looking a little iffy this week. I just wanted to remind everyone that if the Vancouver School District is closed or has a two hour later start then we will be closed as well. If we are closed for the day I will send out an email as soon as I know, the preschool phone will have a message stating that we are closed. We also use the Remind system, you can get that info from Katie in the office.
