Download and print out this week’s Family Connection letter to send home with children.

As children get ready to leave, stick a yellow dot sticker on their clothing. Have them use the dots to help them remember to look for yellow things at home or on the way home to share with the group.

If children ask to bring an object in, encourage them to do so. Then sing “Our Good-bye Song” together before children leave for the day.

Our Good-bye Song
(sung to the tune of “Mary Had a Little Lamb”)
Now it's time to say good-bye, 
Say good-bye,
Say good-bye.
Now it's time to say good-by,
Now it's time to go.

We played and learned a lot,
Learned a lot,
Learned a lot.
We played and learned a lot.
But now it’s time to go.

So until we meet again,
Meet again,
Meet again,
So until we meet again,
We say good-bye to you.
