The students are learning about Jan Brett in the Media Center this month.  Be sure to visit  janbrett.com for fun activities to do with your child at home.

The children really enjoyed the Kaydee Puppet Show today.  Ask your child about The Frog Prince and Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Please join us tonight Tuesday, January 14^th 6:30pm-8:30pm in the upstairs fellowship hall for "You Can't Make Me! Parenting the Defiant Child".  Defiance can be one of the most frustrating parental challenges. In this class, learn more about defiance as a developmental stage and how to know when it’s more than “just a phase.” If you are running out of ideas to manage your child’s defiance, this is the class for you.  The class will be led by Michelle Johnston from Commonwealth Parenting and is free for Promises Preschool families and members of TCPC.

All the Promises students had special science experiments on Monday.  The Red and Yellow classes learned about the blending of colors.  And, a big "thank you" to Kim Baldwin for teaching the pre-kindergarten classes about volcanoes.

Registration for the 2014-2015 preschool year begins on Monday, January 13th for current students and siblings.  Registration packets were sent home in the student school bags today.  Additional registration packets are available on the sign-out table.  Please contact Kerri Palmer or your child's teacher if you have any questions about the registration process.

You Can’t Make Me! Parenting the Defiant Child 2-6 yrs

Is “no” your child’s favorite word? Do you sometimes feel that everyone else’s child is so much more compliant than your child? Defiance can be one of the most frustrating parental challenges. In this class, learn more about defiance as a developmental stage and how to know when it’s more than “just a phase.” If you are running out of ideas to manage your child’s defiance, this is the class for you.

Please join us on Tuesday, January 14^th 6:30pm-8:30pm in the upstairs fellowship hall.  The class will be led by Michelle Johnston from Commonwealth Parenting and is free for Promises Preschool families and members of TCPC.
