With our book buddies this week we will be reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle, and doing an art project with that.  It should be a lot fo fun.

As our weather changes, please make sure your child has a jacket each day.  Some mornings when we go outside, it is rather chilly.  We want everyone to have fun, and stay warm! 

Please turn in your CACFP forms as soon as possible so we can get enrolled!

Be sure to help your child fill out his/her Healthy Habits sheet this week!  We are learning about ways to stay healthy this month.

Just a note:  TPAAK will be closed on Friday, BUT the preschool is OPEN!!  Don't be surprised when there is no traffic on Friday.  Just enjoy it :)
