Junior Kindergarten
October 2026
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
We will begin Chapel visits with Ms.Tracy this month. She will present lessons, read Bible stories, sing songs, and close our Chapel time with prayer. We generally meet with Ms. Tracy 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 Tuesday, October 6th. 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. 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.
Fall parties will be held in the classrooms on Thursday, October 22nd 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 Thursday, 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!
Here are the words to a fun preschool song:
Telephone Number song
Tune: London Bridge
636-561-5203, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring,
636-561-5203, is Adam's telephone number!
(Substitute your child's name and telephone number into this song.)

First Year Preschool
October 2026
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 God Created Me and Others - Community Helpers. Other topics this month will include 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. Tracy 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. Tracy. The children truly enjoy learning about God's love.

God loves me. God loves me. In my Bible book it says that God loves me.
Leaves, Leaves Falling Down
Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Red, yellow, orange and brown the leaves are falling down.

October 2026
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 focus on the color orange and the shape square in math. For science, we will focus on nature and the season of fall. Besides Fun and Fitness this month we get to have our first story time led by Ms. Laurie and have chapel with Ms. Tracy.
The week of October 26th we will have orange week. Keep a look out for what days your child's class will wear orange to celebrate the learning of the color orange.
We will focus on the following Bible Stories: He's Got the Whole World in His Hands, Noah's Ark, and Baby Moses.
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.
