We are the Perez Tomasco family! We moved here from DFW last year. Olivia is an Internal Medicine doctor and Mauricio is a sales manager for a software company. Oliver has been at Primrose since last year and he will be 2 in December! In our spare time, we love to go on walks, visit local businesses, play soccer in the backyard, and explore the Temple-Belton area! Oliver in particular enjoys dancing to music, books, chatting with anyone who will listen, and kicking the soccer ball around with mom and dad. He has grown and developed so much since being at Primrose and it has been a great joy to see how much fun he has with his friends and teachers.

Friday was our Parade of Costumes. Due to the weather drizzling all morning, we scheduled it for indoors. Our children were so adorable in their outfits! Thank you to all our families for being flexible

With a bit of magic and a sprinkle of seeds, pumpkins grew even quicker than weeds! 🎃 ​

At Primrose schools around the country, children turned the Primrose Patch garden into a Magical Pumpkin Patch. They planted magic seeds that grew into big pumpkins overnight just like the characters in the Primrose Harmony & Heart book "Superheroes Save the Day" they read in class. See for yourself!

Our Preschool class, for small group literacy practiced writing some letters. Then we read “ The Itsy Bitsy Spider” then they counted out the syllables of some of the words using spiders in a puddle.

Primrose School of Temple is honored to support and sponsor the Temple Chamber of Commerce 39th Annual Military and First Responder Salute to Service. There are not enough words to express our gratitude and love for these heroes.

We thank you for your service and bravery. Check out all the fun Primrose little ones had!

Thank you so much to Andi Daniliuc from Focus ABA Therapy! She spoke with our Primrose teachers about behavior prevention and behavior management. Our teachers can’t wait to use it in the classroom!

Each child will get the chance to use their creativity to decorate their pumpkin in many different ways!

WONDERFUL, WINDY WORDS

Today, our Preschool class read the poem Gusty Wind by Maria Shaheen and reviewed the letters G and H. They identified the letters in the poem!

Today, we are celebrating Katie the cat's birthday!

Katie the cat is interested in people's lives and social skills. She is very polite and fun to be around, helping Primrose children learn to share and care about each other!

Happy Birthday, Katie and all other October birthdays!

Today in our Pre-K class, they read "It Looked Like Spilt Milk" by Charles G. Shaw.
They discussed how different clouds can be and students made a cloud by placing droplets of white paint in the middle of a blue piece of construction paper and folding it in the middle.

Students, were asked what does your cloud look like?

Decorations are showing up and pumpkin spice is in the air! While this time of year can be exciting for a child, it can also be a little scary, especially for little ones under age 5. Check out these tips that may help your child (and you) make the most out of the season.

🎃 Let Your Child Pick Their Costume: When a child gets to choose their Halloween costume, they're likely to be more comfortable and excited. Let them try their costume on a few days in advance to get comfortable so day-of can be focused on having fun!

👻 Establish Real vs. Make-Believe: Embrace their imagination while teaching them the difference between make-believe and reality. Help your little one understand that even dressed up in a costume, people are still the same as before. You can use the costume to build a story with your child: What would your character do? What would they say? Where would they go?

🔮 Answer Questions Honestly: There's a lot to be curious about this time of year. It’s common for children to see things that might be hard to understand at their age, such as haunted house decorations or a mummy costume. Answer their questions truthfully while reassuring them it's only pretend and sometimes people think it’s fun to be a little scared.

🪄 Keep Things Safe & Have Fun: There’s no reason why parties or events can’t take place during the day when they’ll be less scary and safer in terms of visibility and traffic. Let your child take the lead, whether that's visiting every house in the neighborhood or just walking down the street. The key is that they enjoy the fun and fantasy, without the fright.

Save these for later and share them with a friend!

This month we are celebrating the Ramirez Family!

Last night’s staff meeting trained our teachers in fire safety. We learned about different types of fires, fire extinguishers and determining factors that will result in a fight or flee response. After, all of our teachers put out a fire using the P.A.S.S. method. Pull the pin, Aim low, Squeeze and Sweep. Thank you Temple Fire & Rescue for make sure all our staff is educated so we can keep all our babies safe.

Today in Toddlers for their morning circle time, noggin joggin and wonder time 1, our teachers talked about how to calm down and respect others feelings. Then they read “Craddle Me“ by Debby Slier about feelings and expressions. We then encouraged the children to imitate the expressions.

For Project Time, our Pre-Kindergarten A Class discussed textures. We used stamp pads to put our fingerprints on our "All About Me" worksheet. Next we used magnifying glasses to look at the details of our fingerprints. We learned that everyone has a unique set of fingerprints made of different patterns! We also discussed the similarities and differences we saw in our fingerprints. We learned that having unique traits like fingerprints are part of what makes us special.

Yesterday, our after school Explorers class did their start of the school year bus drills! They did a fantastic job! We went over bus safety, bus rules and all the bus exits.

Bringing lessons in belongingness, Spanish and STEAM to life for her students, María M. never doubted the impact she had.
