The 54th opening of a new school year went very well.  A few tears and adjustments to a new class are all behind us. During the two weeks we were closed the school was painted, the floors were stripped and waxed and the biggest accomplishment was remolding the bathroom in the toddler room, the three year old room and the kindergarten room.
 

Miss Chris is our kindergarten teacher.  This is her second year and the children are on the road to reading, writing and math.  There are lots of smiles in that room.  Miss Chris has a wonderful way of making learning fun.

The four year old class is under the loving guidance of Miss Kathy and Miss Susie.

Welcome Miss Angie to our three year old class.  Miss Angie comes to us with 22 years of experience in early childhood education.  Miss Angie plays the guitar and has wonderful activities in store for our threes.  We are very fortunate to have her join our Tiny Tot Family.  Miss Ramsey has moved into the three year old room and will be working with Miss Angie in the morning and Miss Joanne in the afternoon.

Miss Stacy and Miss Lori are with our littlest angels.

In the late afternoon Miss Mica will be with the kindergarten children.  Miss Edith and Miss Meghan are also at school in the afternoon.

Miss Lidia is in the kitchen.

Please feel free to call anytime with questions, concerns and good news.
The children have lunch at 11:30 followed by their nap.  Naptime is a very good opportunity to talk with your child's teacher.

A very big thank you to all of our families who participated in our fall fundraiser. Our fund raisers are part of the budget and help offset the "wish list" items that make Tiny Tot a special place for your children.

Congratulations to our top winners:

$50.00 "LET US ENTERTAIN YOU" gift certificate goes to the Mrowiec Family.  A.G. is in the four year old room.

 This and That

Picture Day went well.  The pictures will arrive by November 1, 2001

On Friday, October 12th the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes will be going to Green Meadows Farm in Elmhurst.  This is one of our favorite field trips.  The children have an opportunity to milk cows, go on a hayride, ride a pony and eat lunch on a bale of hay.  Each child receives their own pumpkin.  We will need parents to accompany us.
Check your calendar and come and have fun with us.

Halloween is Coming!

This is a time of grief and sorrow, but also of strength and recovery.   As devastated as we are by the loss and destruction that we have witnessed, I believe we are equally moved by the heroism and compassion we see and hear from survivors and fellow citizens who are doing their best to help our country recover.

The flag in the front entrance bears the handprint of every child and teacher at Tiny Tot.  The older children are aware of what has happened.  The teachers  in the four and five year old classes have discussed the events and will continue to do so as the topic arises.  It is not unusual for children to ask questions several days, weeks or even months after something has occurred. 

Our Spirit remains strong.

GOD BLESS AMERICA
