Kissing Hand

This week we learned all about Chester Raccoon and the Kissing Hand.

We learned that even though we are away from our mommies and daddies, they still love us very much! 

We worked all week long on making Chester Raccoons that are now decorating our classroom.

On Monday we "magically" changed a square into a circle by cutting it. Lots of kids enjoyed our first time using scissors here at school. Cutting is a great fine motor skill and we recommend letting your child practice cutting at home ... with supervision of course!

We also stamped our painted hand print onto the moon.

Thursday was our fall picture day. Everyone looked adorable and did a great job listening to the photographer's instructions. We can't wait to see the final results!!

We have posted two photo slideshows to our Photo Gallery Page. The first contains photos of each child on the first day of school. The second has "everyday" photos of the fun we have here at Creative Arts Class 4K.

Don't forget about the following upcoming events/due dates:

• Monday, Sept. 17th - return your child's red folder 
• Thursday, Sept. 20th - be sure we have your family photo for our project today
• Friday, Sept. 21st - It's a Friday and we HAVE school! Our AM class will be going on a fieldtrip to the mini-homecoming parade. Be sure to turn in the pink permission slip. Both classes should dress up in red/white/black for school spirit.
• Thursday, October 4th - If you haven't turned it in already, we need the completed and signed green immunization sheet. If we do not receive this by Oct. 4, your child is not able to attend class until it is turned in to comply with state laws.

Have a great weekend everybody!
See you next week for more fun ;)
