NEWSLETTER September-October 2010
|
|
|
This is our first newsletter for the 2010-2011 school year and it will inform you of some of our activities for September and October. We encourage the children to tell you the lessons they have learned and the projects they have done in preschool and kindergarten, but they sometimes forget. The information in this newsletter will allow you to ask them about events at school, and they will feel that you know what is happening during their time with us. We also will include "tidbits" that might be helpful for you and your preschooler. Lastly, thanks for sending your children to Gaul's Nursery and Arts Centre. We really love teaching them and watching them grow. Helen M. Sheard Carol J.
