Announcements: Thanks so much for all who brought shoes this week. We were able to donate two full boxes plus a large bag of shoes to “Shoes for Love.” If you still want to donate shoes it’s not to late, this week you can drop them off as well. A big thank you to the Olsen family who owns the Logan’s Fox’s Pizza Den. The 4-5 year old group had a really fun field trip where we toured the store and even got to make our own pizza. They did this free of charge which was very generous. I would encourage you to give back by visiting them with your family for a fun yummy meal. This would let your child show you where they got to go and make pizza!
Home Challenge: Our theme is Fairy Tales. I encourage you to go to the library this week and find a book with a fairy tale to read together. The more you read with your child the more they will want to read on their own. Having library books and other fun children’s books around the house is a great way to keep their interest in reading. Reading 20 minutes a day is a gift you give your child that keeps on giving.
