TECH CHECK…
We are introducing fall and Thanksgiving by Discovery Education Video Clips
and Brain Pop, Jr. from internet. We watched Chica, Chica Boom, Boom 123
in Library last week and will be watching this week Charlie Brown’s
Thanksgiving.
What to expect…
* Friday, November. 20th, the Lyon pre-k students will be celebrating
Thanksgiving Fall Fest this year by participating in a Round Robin Holiday
event. The pre-k students will go around to all the other pre-k classrooms
to participate in a holiday activity. Please let your teacher know if you
can volunteer to help on Friday morning for the
Pre-K Thanksgiving Round Robin.
*Later in the day, we will participate in a Thanksgiving Celebration. At
this time we will be having a special snack. The Celebration will begin at
2:45 and all parents are invited.
*Also, we will be bringing in fall and Thanksgiving literacy. If you have
any books relating to this subject, we would love to borrow them to read to
the class.
**The cold weather is approaching and it is truly important that you label
ALL jackets and sweaters. This way we can keep track of YOUR child’s
clothing.

URGENT MESSEGE!
We are having an attendance issue. The St. Tammany Parish School Board is
going to cut the funding for this Pre-K program if there are too many
absents within the program. This is threatening for ALL of the wonderful
Pre-K teachers parish wide. Also starting in November, if your child has
excessive absences your child WILL be removed from the program. This is not
what we want because it truly hurts the child and their education. In order
to get an absence excused and not counted against your child, the school
will need…
If the child is sick- Send copies of doctor’s excuses if the child has seen
a doctor or if another family member’s illness was the reason for the
absence.
If there is a death in family- Send a copy of a funeral notice or obituary
if the absence has been due to a death in the family.
