MWF Thanksgiving

Over the past couple of weeks the children at Cherry Lane have learned all about the first Thanksgiving and the way the Native Americans taught the Pilgrims how to survive in a new land.
We also talked a lot about what we have to be thankful for in our lives.
On Monday November 24 we enjoyed a great feast together. We did some baking and some butter making. And as you can see in the above slideshow we had a lot of fun together. The food and fellowship was great!

WEATHER RELATED SCHOOL CLOSINGS

In the event Cherry Lane Preschool closes for weather related reasons we will post closings on television stations WZZM 13 and WOODTV 8. These stations also post closings on their web sites.
There have been times when school has been open for the morning session but road conditions worsen and the decision is made to close for the afternoon class. When this occurs a phone call will be made to the afternoon families.
If you have any questions regarding school closings feel free to email: triciaalice@yahoo.com

slide shows

I have found by using slide shows on the blog it makes it possible to offer more pictures. The only problem is that you cannot download any of the pictures to your computer. If you see a picture you would like let me know and I could email it to you.

conference time

School has been in session for two months and our students are learning, growing and progressing nicely. Tasks like walking in line are now just part of our everyday routine.
As you can see in the photo students in the MWF P.M. class are lined up, ready to go...this is an accomplishment! It took a while to get the idea that we had to go single file so as not to run over the other students!
Although many parents are in the classroom once a month to see the progress, we still offer conferences at this time of year to touch base with anyone who might have some concerns or questions. These conferences are optional and informal, teachers will not have formal assessments, but will offer them in the February conferences.
Conferences will be held Wednesday through Friday this week. You must sign up in the coatroom if you would like an appointment.
