TEDDY BEAR CORNER NURSERY/PRESCHOOL

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!  Now we need to get ready for Christmas!  WOW!  Time does fly!

DECEMBER BOOK FLYERS will be in lockers this week.  Any orders should be back to TBC by Tuesday, Dec., 8^th.  These should be back in time for the holidays.

DECEMBER tuition is due this week.

Because I am asking everyone to bring in a gift to exchange and have a Christmas party snack sign-up list, there will be no items needed for our SUPPY LIST for this month.

If South Jeff schools are closed due to bad weather, TBC is also closed.  If South Jeff is delayed two hours, TBC is closed.  If you have any questions regarding the weather, please call me.

SHOW AND TELL will be held this Thursday and Friday.  Items may be brought from home and left in the lockers until we have Show and Tell.  Each child will get their special item from their locker and show and tell their classmates about it.

Christmas programs and parties will be held Monday, December 7^th and Tuesday, December 8^th at 10am.  Each student should bring in a gift to exchange valued at $5.00.

Please label your gift FROM with your child’s name.  We will fill in the TO part.  Boys buy a boy’s gift.   Girls buy a girl’s gift.  Siblings may bring a gift.  Place their name on the TO part and write SIBLING on the tag, too.  The students are practicing songs and skits for their program.  Santa has been invited to attend and should arrive about 10:15.Sign up lists for refreshments are on the front table,

More Secrets for Parents to know by Ruth Bowdoin

Courtesy is more likely to be “caught” than taught.

If my child feels no one cares for him, he may care little for himself.

Eighty percent of my child’s brain has developed by the time he is eight years of age.

The early years are the most important because they are the formative years.

My child learns by trying things and making mistakes.

A child develops fears or anxieties if he is over-protected.

Parents are the most important teacher any child will ever have.

My child learns by seeing, feeling, hearing and doing.

Learning experiences are possible in every home and in every yard.

Thanks so much for all your support.  Our supply cupboards are full.  Our snack cupboards have a wonderful variety of snacks.  Thanks again.  Cindy Reardon 232-2230
