--MONTHLY NEWS--

Thanks so much for everyone's support of the Book Fair last week! It was a lot of fun and I hope that you and your children love their books!

*Cookie Exchange: To avoid an extra refreshment fee at the library, I thought it'd be fun to have a cookie exchange the day before the program. Please bring 10 of your favorite cookies on Tuesday, the 10^th! I will distribute them all onto individual plates and wrap them up so that you can take them with you after the program is over the next day. Everyone will leave with a variety of a dozen cookies and there will be no mess for the library to clean up. Win-Win! :)

**Christmas Program @ 6pm @ the Southwest Branch Library 1950 W. 4800 S., Roy.

For the Christmas Program, I would like the children to wear best dress please. You and your family can wear whatever you'd like. :) Please feel free to invite grandparents and anyone else you'd like to this. The children will each have a short line that I'd like you to help them memorize. They'll get to practice it lots of times in school, but it'd be great when I hand those out if you could help your child practice. I also am looking for a small Christmas tree as part of the program. (i.e. anywhere from 2-4 feet) If any one has a little one they'd loan me for the program, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much! After the program is over, there will be a small craft that you can stay and do with your family if you'd like to. :)

^Christmas Break: No school December 24th-January 2^nd. I'll see you on January 7^th! Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!


With much love,


Miss SueZan

Also, there will be NO SCHOOL December 12^th and December 17^th. Sorry, we will be on vacation with family in Washington! But I'll be back for our Christmas Party on December 20^th. And since there is only 2 weeks total of preschool for December, tuition will only be $20 this month.

November News~

Hello! *The Tuesday before Thanksgiving will be a fun kitchen day for the kids. They are going to make homemade butter for your Turkey Day rolls and also pumpkin pies. We will be using some of the pumpkins from the patch and from our own preschool garden. If you would like to turn your own pumpkin from the field trip into a pie, here's the recipe I'll be using that Tuesday with the kids!

So Easy Pumpkin Pie

Cut pumpkin in half without stem. Scoop out seeds and strings. Place cut down foil lined baking sheet. Cover with foil. Bake @350 degrees until tender. (About 1 ½ hours) Cool. Scoop out flesh and mash with a hand mixer. Drain if too watery.

Beat together:

1 1/3 cup smooth mashed pumpkin

1 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 egg

2 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp ginger

(or if you don't have those, you can do 3 tsp pumpkin pie spice)

1 cup hot water

Pour into a 9 inch pie shell at Bake @ 375 for 55-65 minutes. (Center will still move slightly.) Cool and enjoy! Mashed pumpkin will hold 5 days in refrigerator.

Following the Weber County School District schedule, there will be no school on November 27^th or 28^th. Enjoy this time with your family and have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

**Usborne Book Fair**

Help earn free books for the preschool while helping yourself get ready for the holidays!

Usborne books are a great addition to any library. There's so many fun and educational books and you can check them out at:

x3023.myubam.com

The Book Fair will be in my living room from 9:30-3:30 on Thursday, November 21^st. After dropping off your child for preschool, go browse through some books and grab a little refreshment.

If there's a specefic book you'd like to see at the Book Fair, please call or text Shilene James, a friend of mine, who's in charge of it. 801.706.5016

______________________

Last, but not least, please save the date for our Christmas Program! It will be held December 11^th at the Weber County Library, Southwest Branch on 4800 South in Roy.

Thank you!
