🧼✨ Clean Hands, Healthy Kids! ✨🧼
Remind your kids to wash their hands properly:
✅ Wet with water & lather soap
✅ Scrub for 20 seconds (sing a favorite song!)
✅ Rinse & dry
Good hygiene = fewer germs & healthier days! 🌟 #HandWashing #HealthyHabits bit.ly/PTPHandWashing


🎯 Why Kids Should Learn to Tie Their Shoes 🎯
Teaching kids to tie their shoes isn’t just about laces—it’s about building independence! 👟✨
Plus, they’ll feel so proud doing it all by themselves! 💪 Let’s empower our little ones, one loop at a time. 🐰 bit.ly/PTPShoes


Covering cough
🗣️ Teach the "Chicken Wing" Trick! 🐔💨
Remind your kids to cough or sneeze into their elbow (aka their "chicken wing") to keep germs from spreading. 🦠💪
It’s easy, fun, and helps everyone stay healthy! 🐓✨ #HealthyHabits #StopTheSpread bit.ly/PTPChickenWing


🌟 Avoid lost-and-found chaos this season—label your kids’ jackets, backpacks, lunchboxes & water bottles with their name. 🧥📚 Use markers, iron-ons, or stick-on tags (Even Duct Tape!!!) for easy returns. A quick label saves time & stress! 🙌 bit.ly/PTPLabelMe


🧥✨ Foster Independence with Jacket Time! ✨🧥
Help kids learn to put on their jackets:
✅ Teach the "flip trick" (lay jacket down, flip over their head)
✅ Practice zipping together
✅ Celebrate small wins!
Building independence is a big step! 🌟 bit.ly/PTPJacketFlip


📚✨ Keep Kids Reading Over Break! ✨📚
Daily reading boosts imagination, sharpens skills, & builds a love for books. Try a family challenge or library trip for extra fun! Let’s keep those pages turning! 💕 #ReadEveryDay s https://youtube.com/shorts/g6QN7dVnhv8

Huge Shout Out to our Primary Students!
Today we went to the Gregg County Historical Museum and Longview Museum of Fine Arts. We will post pictures on Facebook tonight or tomorrow morning. Our Primary Pirates did an amazing job of listening and following directions. They were careful around all the breakable items. We got so many compliments from the Volunteers who were helping with our field trips.
Students will be sent home a free ticket to the Art Museum so that you can go see what they got to see today! This Saturday, the history museum is having a special free event so you can go see the trains again with your child! Check out the pictures attached for more information.
Thank you Teachers and Parents for helping us make sure our Primary Pirates show Pirate Pride everywhere they go!
Tomorrow is Pajama Day!

It looks like the weather is clearing in time for use to have an outdoor Halloween Parade at 2:00. Please bring a car tag to be able to check out your child early. After the parade, one parent or guardian will be allowed to enter the building to pick up your child from the classroom door. You will show the car tag to the teacher and to the adults at the exit.
Due to the wetness and some scheduling conflicts, the Fall Nature Walk is being postponed for Friday, November 1. We will send more information soon about a new date. We will have lunch dates tomorrow!
