4K Newsletter - November 2025

Our October Family Night at Bryant Elementary was a BLAST! We had a pizza dinner before jumping into STEM activities! We played with Bee Bots (bee shaped robots that we could program to move around the boards) and we had fun building! We even made playdough creatures using pipecleaners and googly eyes. Here are some photos from that event!

We hope to see you at Great Lakes in November for the next family night!

The weather is definitely taking a turn and the cold air is making an appearance. Soon it'll be time to send snow pants, boots, winter jackets, hats and mittens. Remember we bring kids outside every day in 4K and if your child stays for wrap, they go outside multiple times throughout the day. Also... please write your child's name or initials on everything.

It's been really fun to get to know all of your kiddos & see their personalities emerge. It's so fun to see their progress and growth so far. We will continue to focus a lot on Independence, Play and Social Emotional Skills within our 4K programs in the Fall.

We have had a great first 2 months of school. We have spent a lot of time getting to know each other, learning the rules and routines of our classroom and exploring ways to be good friends and work together. We have implemented some sign language into our classroom curriculum and the kids are doing so well with it.

We have been exploring colors and learning what happens when you mix different colors together, we used our 5 senses to learn about the world around us and we are having fun with different sensory experiences. We are currently studying all the Fall changes that are happening outside and bringing some nature into the classroom to enhance our art projects.

Attendance in preschool matters. 4K is the year for teaching young children what school is and what the expectations are. Even though attendance is not mandatory in 4K, it is in Kindergarten, so it's never too early to begin teaching kids and creating healthy habits for school. Please send them to school EVERY day that 4K is in session.

If your child is sick, please keep them home, however, PLEASE notify your child's teacher.

Join us the first Saturday of each month between 9 am – 12 pm for free in-person Kids Workshops. While supplies last.
