Classroom Highlights
November 19, 2024
Hello Primrose Families!
Thank you for all taking the time to come and talk about your child with me during conferences. I always find sharing the joys and tribulations of toddlerhood to be cathartic and overall amusing. Thanks again and always remember to email anytime when you feel the need for some extra support.
A huge thanks to all that bought books at Horizon Books last weekend. I put out several new books this week and the children sat with me for as long as it took to read each and every new book.
A big welcome to Matthew who joined our classroom last week. The children have been so sweet welcoming him. Our sweet YCC community has been very helpful in showing him the ropes. Liam is soon moving to Chelsea’s Primary class just next door. He loves telling his friends about Sheldon the turtle and how he feeds him pellets.
I look forward to our Harvest Feast next week on Tuesday. It’s such a fun meal to share with your littles. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Primrose families!
Well, it's officially fall this week! Our time on the playground was quite colder today. It's a good thing Annie finished a winter gear document to aid in finding some great toddler winter accessories! Yay!!
It's been a busy few weeks since our last Classroom Highlights. Brody has moved into Chelsea's primary class and is flourishing! He is so proud to walk in with his big brother
from carline. We love waving to him in the hall. Robbie is now beginning his journey to Kristi's room; he will begin visiting in the next weeks. He is very excited to be in Primary like Brody and his big sister Millie.
Emmie from Nido has joined our primrose community and is adored by all. We have sent home an updated Roster with our sweet Emmie included.
The conference link will be released soon so keep your eyes peeled. I look forward to catching up and sharing with you all your child has been working on during this school year so far.
Warmly,
Betsy

Happy 2024/2025 School year! We made it through the first two weeks!!
It’s been lovely seeing how our community is coming together as we bring in new friends and say goodby to old ones. Annie and Sage have moved to Primary and it has been wonderful to see them in the hall or on the playground. We also welcomed Hallie, Annie’s sister last week and she is adjusting one day at a time, she did so well today after a long weekend. So proud of her.
Big news for Hudson and family, they welcomed a baby boy last week, Henry Adam. There is a meal train posted if you would like to prepare a meal as they adjust to life as a family of four. Congratulations Scott Family!!
Thank you for coming out to Jacobs Farm last week to play and socialize. It's always fun to see the kids outside of school even though it takes some time for them to warm up to the idea.
Wow! It’s been a busy two weeks, here‘s to a great school year ahead.
Warmly,
Betsy
