From the Principal’s Office:
Get ready to “fall” into lots of learning and fun this month as we get ready for the sights, sounds, and yummy smells of Autumn at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool!
We encourage you to take a few minutes each month and scroll down to read the reminders, upcoming events, and the articles. We host a variety of events for families to enjoy (Trick or Trunk) and we encourage parent participation at our preschool (Halloween Parade). This newsletter, our weekly highlights, and the flyers at the front desk will help you to be better informed about all the fun filled, family events we are hosting this school year. Also Dr. Lauren Starnes from our education department writes a new article each month to help you support your child’s development with quick suggestions and information.
My favorite books about apples & leaves:
1. Red leaf, yellow leaf by Lois Ehlert
2. Up, Up, Up It’s Apple Picking Time by Jody Fickes Shapiro
3. Why do leaves change color? by Betsy Maestro & Loretta Krupinski
4. Apples by Gail Gibbons
5. Leaf man by Lois Ehlert
Fall Leaves
Down, Down
Yellow and Brown
Fall the leaves
All over the ground.
Rake them up
In a pile so high,
They almost reach
Up to the sky.
Apple Tree
Way up high in the apple tree
Two little apples smiles at me.
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples.
Mmmm- they were good.
Falling Leaves
Little leaves falling down,
Red and yellow, orange and brown
Whirling, twirling round and round,
Falling softly to the ground
Here is to a “Fabulous Fall” at Chesterbrook Academy!

Heavy traffic times are from 8:30am to 8:45am and 3:35pm to 3:55pm; to avoid these heavy traffic times please arrive to the campus either before or after these arrival and dismissal times.
