Greetings to our preschool families.
Things are going very well at the preschool. The children are adjusting quite well this week. Our slow start up the first few days gives us all a chance to ease in to the school year. Ideally, when the children leave the first few times they want to stay longer and are then excited and happy to come back the next time.
A number of children have started wearing their “germ catcher” on their arm.
It is a joy not to see them cough, of course, but to see them cough into the elbow area. Hand sanitizer and hand washing are being used with consistency.
September 21 is the day we want everyone to be wearing their “germ catcher,” but go ahead and start earlier if you want. In our Blue Class it has given us a chance to admire, applaud and be excited for the children who are already wearing their “germ catcher.” One little girl our class, said she was going to wear it to bed! That might be overkill on it, but you have to admire her dedication and excitement!
Personalizing it, like their school bag is a good way to help them wear it. Girls can wear a pink one with sparkles, etc. Boys can wear a Spiderman or whatever. It can have a face on it or not. Remember it is just meant to reminder of where to cough. Don’t tell anyone, but I have forgotten where to cough while wearing mine and then finish my cough in the correct area. Don’t forget you might need a couple on hand, so they can be washed as needed. I am not sure how long we will be doing this, but right now let’s forge ahead!
Just got this email from a preschool mom about our germ catcher …..check the link out!
Hi Linda
I saw this in a Parent magazine and thought of our germ catcher.

Mrs. Fechner thinks ours is much more eco friendly! “Wash and wear!”
Pumpkin Farm permission slips and information will be sent home soon.
Basic information
We are going Wednesday, September 30
Johansen’s Petting Zoo
Arrive no earlier that 8:10 am
8:30am. Bus leaves Immanuel.
One bus is rented, since so many prefer to take their child in their own car in their car seat. Usually there is room for a number of parents to ride the bus with their child. Wait with your child in hand and see if this will be the case If you rode the bus last year with your child, please let other parents on the bus first who have not been able to do this yet. You can get on if there is room. No siblings should ride on the bus…only preschool children and their adult ride the bus. Thank you!
10:30am – Group meets for lunch
11:30am - Group meets at exit.
Return to School- around 12:00 noon or just after
Two rules you may not know…
1. Please dress children in shoes – no flip flops! Thank you!
2. Please do not leave an umbrella with your child. You can give it to them with you pick them up out front.
Just imagine preschoolers in line leaving, caring them and some opening them, etc. Thanks for this also!
