Happy Friday Four Star Families!!


We hope everyone has had a great week! This week we got to practice cutting in our sensory area as well as bake some fabulous pizzas in our Four Star Pizzeria. We also got to paint some special fish with a unique tool, celery!  We got to go to the library for the first time today as well.  After your child has read their book, they can bring it back to school and place it in the blue bin in the cubby area.  Then they can get a new book the next time we go to the library!


Our first Non-School Day is coming up on Thursday, October 20th. A non-school day is a day when school is not in session but Four Star is still open for care. This year on non-school days, we will be providing care at Oak View Elementary which is right behind Cedar Island! You can use Door 4 for drop off and pick up at Oak View. Please click HERE to fill out a survey and let us know if your child will be attending that day. We will be decorating our own pair of binoculars and then using them on a nature walk! Our hours of operation will be 7:00-5:30 and your child will need a cold lunch from home as lunch will not be offered on the non-school days. Please fill out the survey by October 5th.


As a reminder, picture day in Tuesday, October 4th. You may order your pictures BEFORE picture day, by clicking HERE and and entering our school Picture Day ID: EVTZ6B9M4.  Paper order forms will come home with each student on Wednesday, September 28. Online orders are preferred. If you are paying with cash, exact change is required.

 

Last but not least, meet our classroom take home friend Lola the Llama!  Every weekend Lola gets to spend time with a new student in our Four Star class. When it’s your turn, make sure to take pictures with Lola and write a short paragraph about all the fun you had. This year, since we do not want to spread germs from house to house, you will get a “Flat Lola” to spend the weekend with!! The best part is that you get to keep your Flat Lola and have as many adventures with her as you want. When your child gets chosen, a white envelope will come home in their green take home folder. Inside will be your Flat Lola and an example Flat Lola page.  You can either create your own page and send it back to school, or you can email Ms. G your pictures and paragraph and she will put your page together. You can choose whatever is easiest for your family!! Then your child will get to share their page with the class. Click HERE to see Ms. G's weekend with Lola the Llama page.


We hope you have a great weekend!!
