October Monthly Party 2010

One of our our moms with her child.

On October 5th, we had our monthly party. Monthly parties are a great opportunity to share news, make announcements, and enjoy some time together. During the monthly party the Infant/Toddler Class and the Pre-Schoolers joined their moms and the other teachers and TFP staff in our large classroom. We also usually sing the songs learned during the past month and reward with certificates those students, mothers and children, who achieved perfect or excellent attendance.
