Hello CCP Families,
We had our picture days this week and the sweetest smiles are on David Gellatly’s website. Most everyone enjoyed having their picture taken. We had a few who were just not ready to say cheese, but it’s okay because they will get another whack at it again in the spring when we’ll do it again! I have sent you all the link (and password) to David’s site to view and purchase your photos. Please let me know if you did not receive it.
And don’t forget, you are also invited to have a family photo taken on Saturday, Oct. 25. The photos will be outside in the church yard. Click here to sign up for a convenient time slot.

The following week has so many great opportunities for you! Hope you can join us for:
TRUNK OR TREAT - Sunday, Oct. 26 at 4:00 (correction from the 25th in last week’s blog, silly me! 😊) in the church office parking lot. Come in costume for games, candy, and fun!
HALLOWEEN - Just for fun, our Duck and Whale classes will parade in costume on the Market St sidewalks on Oct. 30. Parents are invited to walk with us if you’re able. Teachers will give you details.
Our Ladybugs and Frogs will parade in costume indoors around Ascension Hall on Oct. 29 and Oct 30. Parents are invited to stay a few minutes after drop-off to watch if you’re able. Teachers will give you details.
FIRE TRUCK - The Chapel Hill Fire Dept. will bring their truck for a visit on Monday, November 3rd! (If you are in a T/Th class, please feel free to join us at 9:30 in Ascension Hall.) Usually the fire fighters show us how they look & sound when wearing all their gear. Then they take us, class by class, to look at the truck!
MomCo gathers on the 27th of October. Come, be seen and heard!
Please remember we currently have room for another 2year old (M/W) at CCP! Please send your friends our way.
CONSCIOUS DISCIPLINE MOMENT: “Missing or emerging executive skills are at the root of what we call ‘discipline problems.’ Historically, children have been punished for not having these skills at certain ages. When there is conflict, we can choose to see a misbehaving child OR we can choose to see a child who needs help to learn a skill.”
At CCP, we try to see a child who needs to learn a skill. For example, if a child grabs the red crayon from another child. We use the phrase, “YOU WANTED____” Here’s how it may sound….You wanted the red crayon. You may not grab. Hold out your hand and say, “May I use the red crayon when you’re finished?” Or for a younger child….You wanted the red crayon. You may not grab. Hold out your hand and say, “Red crayon, please.”
Cheers to all the skills we are ALL still learning!
Peace,
Shelly
