It was a joy to welcome Reese and James to The Mustard Seed this week. We spent the week learning about our senses, our favorites and how to stay healthy. Next week we will start to practice our letters. Our activities, crafts and snacks will begin with the letter A. Other Mustard Seed News: I am still looking for someone to fix the playground equipment. This week I went to Beachwood to pick up the water testing kit. A new state mandate requires we test the water in the classroom and half of the sinks in the bathroom. We received our official license in the mail. Many thanks to Dave Cavenaugh and Bob Burdick for installing our sign on the back of the building. Barbara Carey painted the logo and did the lettering on the sign. Patrick Predham built the sign. So many people have helped to make our preschool happen. Thank you! Donna Ferguson 732-664-4214
