    November

The children had a wonderful time at the Budlong Fall Fest! (see pictures below) They loved petting the animals, going on a hayride, jumping in the moon walk, and picking out a pumpkin to take home! 

This month we will be focusing on community helpers, the color brown, and squares.  On November 6, we will take a walk to Firehouse 110!  We will get to see where the firefighters live when they are working, the fire engine, the ambulance, and talk about fire safety.

 Preschool For All Philosophy  

Young children learn through play.  Learning is an active process which involves both physical and mental interaction with the environment.  Development of the whole child includes activities which enhance physical, cognitive, language, social, and creative development.

Classroom Guidelines

* We always use our quiet voices and walking feet when inside

*Keep your eyes and ears on Ms. Barlow when she is reading a story, talking, or teaching a lesson

*Keep your hands to yourself

*Take turns and share                                                     

*Always put away the toys when you are done playing with them
