Hi families!

 

What a great pancake supper... thank you all for all your hard work!

 

We had a great week last week talking about food and nutrition (thanks to Julie and Christy for helping out!), playing in our grocery store, and of course our field trip! Parent/teacher conferences went well, too. If you missed yours last week, talk to me this week about scheduling a make-up time.

 

This week we will be talking about families, homes, fall, and of course Thanksgiving! We will keep our grocery store open as well so that the kiddos have the opportunity to play out what we saw on Friday. Monday and Tuesday (weather permitting) we will be exploring our backyard with a scavenger hunt and will talk about the changes that have occurred in our trees since school began. I encourage you to do the same in your own backyards or at your local park. Consider making a collage or some other display of your collected items to share with us for show and tell! We will have show and tell both Thursday and Friday this week. I would also like for everyone to bring in a family photo to be posted in the classroom. Bring this in any day this week.

 

Thank you for all your help and support!

Hello parents!

 

We had a great time last week meeting the firefighters and seeing the fire truck, and learning about fire safety in class. I'm sure you had little fire safety experts showing you "stop, drop, and roll" or asking about a family fire plan. They all had a great time with this topic! I apologize to the T/Th kiddos as we ran out of time Thursday and did not get to share our show and tell items. (We had a fire drill and a special visitor!) I promised them we would still do it, however, so plan for a make up show and tell this Tuesday. This will be a free choice show and tell, so the children can bring a fire safety related item if they want, or any other item that has special meaning for them. M/W/F kids will have their next show and tell the following week on Friday, when we will be discussing health and nutrition.

 

This week we will be exploring pumpkins, harvest, and of course, Halloween! Our dramatic play center will change into a costume shop for the week, so if you have any old Halloween or dress up costumes you wouldn't mind us using, it would be great to have some new garments to explore. I would also like to have a pumpkin for each class to examine, inside and out! So if two parents - one from T/Th and one from M/W/F - could bring in a pumpkin on Tuesday and Wednesday I would really appreciate it. If you can help with this, please reply to this loop and let me know. Thank you!!

 

I look forward to a fun week and am excited to see all the children in their costumes! We have been talking about our costumes for some time now, so I know they are excited too.

 

Thanks so much for all you do!
