October 2025
Dear Parents,
It's hard to believe that it is October! I am pleased to report that the children have adjusted very well to the classroom routines and rules. I love seeing the children playing with their friends when I am in the classroom. Parents, thank you for helping to make this transition into a new school year a smooth one for the children. It's going to be a fantastic year! As always, if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child or preschool activities, please call us.
Our theme for October is Helping Hands- Family Responsibilities. Other topics will include shapes, numbers 3-5, dinosaurs, emergency preparedness, sight words a, an, and, as, and at, and the season of fall. We will be working on letters D, E, and F.
D if for dinosaur.
E is for emergency preparedness. Does your child know his/her full name, address, and telephone number? Please help him/her learn this important information.
F is for family and fall.
Our memory Bible verse is I am ... wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14. Our Bible stories will include The Good Samaritan and The Prodigal Son. Be sure to talk to your children about how unique and special God has made them.
Special Days for the month of October:
-Disney Day "D" - wear clothing to school that is Disney themed.
-Eye Spy Day "E" - we will be doing a special eye spy activity in class, nothing needed to be brought to school for this day
-Flashlight Day "F" - bring a flashlight to school for special activities in the class
-Green Day "G" - wear as much green as you can to school
We will begin Chapel visits with Ms. Marie this month. She will present lessons, read Bible stories, sing songs, and close our Chapel time with prayer. We generally meet with Ms. Marie twice a month for about 15 minutes. The children truly enjoy learning about God's love. Chapel will be held in the Sanctuary; this will help the children practice good manners while sitting in church.
KidsSight Vision Screening will be conducted on Wednesday, October 1st. This is a free vision screening offered for your child. Information was sent home last week concerning this service. If you want to opt out of this service, please fill out the form that you received and send it back to school with your child by Tuesday, September 30th.
You received a flyer in the Orientation folder concerning the Backpack Program before school started. This is an important program to help feed hungry children in our area. This is a great way to teach our preschool children that they can make a difference and do mission work too. If you would like to help, you can refer to the letter and send in items that are needed from the letter. We will have the Junior Kindergarten and Prekindergarten kids collecting food during the month of October and then the First Year Preschool children can collect during the month of November. We will alternate every other month. Whatever you want to donate is appreciated. This is strictly voluntary!! Please put your items in the cooler in our entryway marked Operation Backpack. It would also be helpful if you would use a sharpie marker and mark through the bar code.
Fort Zumwalt School District will be coming in to screen children on October 14-15th. If you live in the Fort Zumwalt School District we will be sending a form home with you that will need to be filled out and returned by October 2nd if you want them to screen your child. On the 14th and 15th of October the screeners will come here to school and pull them during class time to be screened. They will then get those results to you. If you have any questions please let me know.
Fall parties will be held in the classrooms on Thursday, October 23rd at 2pm. Each child may have up to two parents or guardians attend the party. Please keep siblings at home or team up with another parent to take turns watching children in Watson Hall and other being in party. This is a special time to celebrate with your Adam Lamb student.
If your child is having difficulty grasping a pencil correctly, you may want to try the following activities to strengthen his/her fine motor skills. Have your child squeeze and roll play dough with his/her hands. Ask him/her to pick up small objects such as pom poms using tongs or pincher fingers. Give him/her sponges to squeeze and play with in the bath tub. You could also play a game of catching beanbags.
Here are a few tips to help your child improve his/her cutting skills. Be sure to give your child the appropriate sized scissors. Have your child sit at a table when he/she is using scissors. Stress to your child that the only thing he/she may cut is paper. have your child begin by cutting index cards, old greeting cards, magazines, newspapers, and scrap paper. Index cards and old greeting cards are great. They are easy for the children to handle and are not as flimsy as paper. Once he/she has mastered the cutting motion, try drawing straight lines on a sheet of paper, and have him/her practice cutting on a line. Next, move to curved lines and circles. the most important thing to do is PRACTICE!!!
Tuition is due on Wednesday, October 1st. Please put your tuition in the tuition box or pay online by October 10th to avoid a late fee.
Lastly, thank you so much for trusting us to care for your children this year. We take this privilege very seriously! Our goal is to provide a safe and loving environment for each child to learn and grow in their faith and love for Jesus!

First Year Preschool
October 2025
Dear Parents,
I want to begin by saying thank you for helping to make the first month of school a good transition for your child. All the children seem to be adjusting to the new school routine well! We haven't had very many tears from the children and if there are tears, they are very short lived. I love seeing the children playing with each other in the classrooms. They may not know their new friends' names yet but give it time and they will be able to tell you the name of the friend they played with at school each day. Seeing friends and playmates at school can help make school a positive and fun experience!
The theme for October is My Wonderful Body - God Created Me. Other topics this month will include health and hygiene, shapes, and the season of fall.
Our memory Bible verse is I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14. Our Bible stories will include The Good Samaritan and God Made All People. Be sure to talk to your children about how unique and special God has made them.
We will begin Chapel visits with Ms. Marie this month. She will present lessons, read Bible stories, sing songs, and close our Chapel time with a prayer. Chapel will be held twice a month for about 15 minutes with Ms. Marie. The children truly enjoy learning about God's love. The children will attend Chapel in the Sanctuary; this will help them practice good manners while sitting in church.
This month we will continue our special color days. October 2nd will be green day. October 9th will be orange day. Then on October 16th it will be purple day.

Dear Parents,
I want to begin by saying thank you for helping to make the first month of school a good transition for your child. All the children seem to be adjusting to the new school routine well! We haven't had very many tears from the children and if there are tears, they are very short lived. I love seeing the children playing with each other in the classrooms. They may not know their new friends' names yet but give it time and they will be able to tell you the name of the friend they played with at school each day. Seeing friends and playmates at school can help make school a positive and fun experience!
In October we will be working on walking on a line forwards and backwards, and holding a crayon with thumb and fingers. We will also get to have fun and fitness class again and story time.
We will focus on the following Bible Stories: He's Got the Whole World in His Hands, Noah's Ark, and Baby Moses.
Monday, October 27th is Picture Re-Take Day. If your two year old comes on Tuesday or Wednesday and you want their picture taken you can bring them in from 11:30-12:30. If your two year old comes on Thursday and they missed getting their picture taken you can bring them in at that time too. Pictures are taken and then we are given proofs for you to look at. After viewing proofs you will return the proofs to school with money if purchasing or just the proofs if you are not ordering. Once, the photographer develops the photos we will give them to you.
Fine motor skills are very important to work on at this age. A fun idea to try at home is to wrap some of their small toys like plastic toy animals or mega blocks in foil. Give the wrapped toys to your child and have them work on getting their toys unwrapped. Start off with wrapping them loosely and then slowly more tighter to work those fingers more.
Happy Birthday!!
