Next week we are celebrating World Kindness Day all week long. World Kindness Day is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world. The purpose of this day, celebrated on November 13 of each year, is to help everyone understand that compassion for others is what binds us all together. This understanding has the power to bridge the gap between nations. Leading up to World Kindness Day, we will be celebrating with our Kindness Spirit Week.
NOVEMBER is NATIONAL GRATITUDE MONTH and so much more.

With great sadness we announce the passing of Mr.Cleveland Woods. , a Lawrence teacher for over twenty years who has bettered the lives of all who knew him. Mr. Woods was a champion among humans every day. Our prayers and support go to his wife and children.
Today we celebrated the season of fall by having a Fall Festival! We went apple picking, pumpkin picking and even went through obstacle courses! Ask your child to tell you about their day!
This week in Pre-K we explored the inside of a pumpkin. Children made predictions on how many seeds they thought would be inside and explained how the inside of a pumpkin felt.
The past month we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month at the Early Childhood Center. We learned a new Spanish word each day and together as a class created the flag of El Salvador, Colombia, Chile and Honduras. We also read the book "Silly Billy" by Anthony Browne and created our very own worry doll.

Buenos tardes! Our Spanish word of the day in honor of Hispanic
Heritage month is buenos tardes which means good afternoon. Today we are also learning about the color pink! You can see the many shades of pink incorporated into the children's outfits as they happily play outside.
Each day we focus on a new color. Today we learned about the color green by wearing green clothing to school. The children in room 4 were surprised to mix blue and yellow paint to create green!
Today we celebrated Patriot Day at the Early Childhood Center. We waved our flags high in remembrance of those who lost their lives 20 years ago on September 11th. One way we can honor those American families is to be kind to one another and always lend a helping hand .
