We had a wonderful time in our classroom in October learning about the changing seasons. We looked at changing fall leaves, cut open pumpkins and were able to explore their insides, and made spider webs with a marble dipped in paint for Halloween! As the children become more competent with our daily routine, we are adding news things. They are now bringing their water bottles into the classroom and storing them independently, sitting for songs and stories on the rug together, cleaning up their snack at the table, and collecting their folders at the end of the day from the teachers. Looking forward we will be working on dressing for outdoor weather and starting to discuss the calendar and the weather.
In November, we will be discussing our families, how to be a good friend, and being thankful. Please feel free to email or print out a picture of your family for your child to show to the class. We are also starting to work on letter recognition as we continue with letters I, T, C, and U. We will be making a friendship snack mix for Thanksgiving! I’ll be posting on the Classdojo for families who would like to contribute. Every child will have something to add to our snack mix. This is a great way to build community in the classroom! Your child will be able to scoop out their share of our mix and take it home for the holiday break.
I am still working on having the ichat forms processed. Thank you for your patience as we work through these. Everything is a bit slower this year as everyone is getting back to their routines.
Reminders:
Please ensure your child’s sign-in forms are completed for each week. I will be sending home dated forms in the coming weeks for you to complete if they are missing. This is a licensing requirement for our program, and we have to have them on file. Thank you for your cooperation.
We are having a great time with your children. Thank you for your involvement and support. As always, contact us with questions or concerns.
