#74....3rd Email to the Preschool Families

Yellow, Purple, and Red Classes sing this Sunday at Immanuel at 10am. Families sit together and then around half way through the service, the children are asked to come forward to the front to sing. They sound absolutely wonderful! We hope you can make it

If your child is from another class and you happen to be in church on Sunday, they are certainly welcome to come up front to sing. It probably will be hard to keep them in the pew.

We ask no flash photography be taken during the service. This is a worship service and it also is so distracting for the children.

Please get your Pumpkin Farm checks and permission slips in as soon as you can! If the weather is bad, we will have regular school hours that day. If you do not get a call…we are going!!

Check your handout with all the information concerning the Pumpkin Farm Filedtrip!

Today I had another talk with the children about the “germ catcher.” If you listen to the news, you can see the flu is getting to be a real problem for young children in some areas of our country. I believe it is important we all do this. We encouraged them with a heart stamp on their arm today next to their “germ catcher” to remind them they are doing this because they love others around them and want to protect them from germs.

I went to Target the other day and found jack-o-lantern socks in the $1.00 section. I cut each sock into 4 sections and shared them. Please encourage your child to wear any kind of “germ catcher” if they are not already doing it. I think we have about 75-80 percent participation. I am still hoping for 100 percent!

When we go to the Pumpkin Farm we all wear red bandanas with Immanuel Lutheran Preschool printed on the back. This is a safety measure also for our school. We can easily identify one of Immanuel’s children instantly. This is a good thing! We will talk about it in the classroom so all the new students know about it and we will explain why it is necessary.

Thanks for your help in volunteering at Immanuel. It certainly is a big help to us and you also get an enjoyment from it. Especially for the 3’s classes, it is quite crucial to have extra help from parents.

While I am speaking of extra help from parents…there is one more thing you can do. RED, GREEN, ORANGE CLASSES - Before you and your child enter the classroom, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take them to the bathroom and have them “try” to go one more time….even if they used the bathroom before they left home, take the time to help us out and do this. It will save so much classroom time if you take the time! Thanks so much!

Please respond you received this in some way…Thank you!

As we say at the end of a story sometimes – THE END!
