The Kindergarten class went to the Children's Theatre this week.

They saw "The Little Red Hen"!

We would like to encourage everyone to join Ms. Kirsten and I at Veterans Park in Hoover this Saturday for Sebastian's run/walk for a cure!  It starts at 8:30 AM for the 5K run/walk and 10:00 AM for the 1 mile kids' funrun/family walk.  Sebastian was a former student of JBMA who passed away at the age of 7 of cancer.  This event is especially dear to me because he was in my preschool class for 3 years.  He was a loving, funny, energetic little boy who brought a smile to every person he met.  Please help us raise money in his honor to find a cure for childhood cancer.  Sincerely, Ms. Shelley

We can't believe it's almost September!  We have finished up our study of birds and will now focus on leaves, trees, and flowers.  We had messy fun with Jackson Pollock paintings.  We will continue to study North America through the month of September.

We have had a great start to our school year!  Everyone came back ready to work!

Just a few reminders:  

*Please make sure your child has an extra set of clothes here at school in case of accidents.  

*If you send lunch from home and it requires a spoon or fork, please send one.  We had a few extra plastic ones that we were able to provide this week, but we are now out. 

*Four and Five year old children who stay after 11:45 need a rest mat.  Each class takes a short rest break right after lunch and a mat is required.

*Thanks for being so patient in the car pool line.  I promise, as we all learn the routine, it will get faster and better.
