Join us for the  Jumpstart’s Read for the Record®, a global campaign that generates public support for high-quality early learning and highlights the importance of building children’s vocabulary and love for reading. On Thursday, October 29th, children and adults worldwide will take action by participating in the world’s largest shared reading experience.

This years’ book is Evelyn Del Rey is Moving Away.  From Newbery Medalist Meg Medina comes the bittersweet story of two girls who will always be each other’s número uno, even though one is moving away.

A big truck with its mouth wide open is parked at the curb, ready to gobble up Evelyn’s mirror with the stickers around the edge . . . and the sofa that we bounce on to get to the moon.

Evelyn Del Rey is Daniela’s best friend. They do everything together and even live in twin apartments across the street from each other: Daniela with her mami and hamster, and Evelyn with her mami, papi, and cat. But not after today—not after Evelyn moves away. Until then, the girls play amid the moving boxes until it’s time to say goodbye, making promises to keep in touch, because they know that their friendship will always be special. The tenderness of Meg Medina’s beautifully written story about friendship and change is balanced by Sonia Sánchez’s colorful and vibrant depictions of the girls’ urban neighborhood.

There will be no VPK on Monday, October 19th.  All other classes will run as normally scheduled on these days.  All full time children are permitted to attend as usual.

We will be having class Halloween parties on Friday, October 30th.  We will be wearing our Halloween themed pajamas and having parties in each classroom.   There will be sign ups for treats that will go out through email, closer to the time of the parties.  We would love to be able to invite families but we are still unable to at this time.  We will take extra pictures to send through Tadpoles so you can see the fun times!!!
