This week we will be reviewing letters by playing ABC Bingo. We are also going to do activities focusing on the letter E. Over the Thanksgiving break help your child find things around the house that start with the letter F and E. See how many things you can find together. Practice writing the letters E and F too!

Reminders

No school Wednesday November 24 and Thursday November 25 for the Thanksgiving Break. Wishing everyone a safe and healthy Thanksgiving holiday!

Winter gear reminder! Please be sure your child wears a hat, mittens, and a warm jacket to school. Many children did not have hats and gloves today. It was very cold for them during recess.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mrs. Stawara and Mrs. Asad

What We are Learning this Week

We are learning to add more details to our drawings. We learned how to make Mat Man. Mat Man helps us to learn and practice how to draw a person using shapes.

We are working on our fine motor skills using scissors and cutting playdough.

LAHC will be teaching us how to make a healthy snack on Wednesday.

We will be tasting apple pie and pumpkin pie, and graphing which pie is our favorite.

Reminders

1. Please be sure to bring extra clothes in case your child gets wet or has a bathroom accident. Your child should have an extra pair of pants, a shirt, underwear, and socks in their cubby.
2. Please be sure to send in snow pants, hat, mittens, and boots for your child as winter is quickly coming.
3. No school next Wednesday, November 24 and Thursday, November 25 for Thanksgiving Break. School will resume on Monday, November 29.

Have a great week!

Please note the Thanksgiving holiday break is Wednesday, November 24-26. There is preschool on November 22 and 23.

What We Are Learning

1. This week we are going to be “scientists”. We are going to explore pumpkins. We will use our hands, eyes, ears, and nose while observing the pumpkin using special “scientist glasses.”

2. We are also going to do an experiment to see if pumpkins will sink or float in water. We are going to make a prediction before placing the pumpkin in the water. Then we will draw a picture of what happened after our experiment.

3. We are working on the letter F.

4. LAHC is a nutrition organization in Dearborn that comes into our classrooms to teach us about healthy foods. They will be visiting our class every Wednesday for 6 weeks. They will provide a lesson, movement activity, and snack. The children will get to make their own healthy snacks. Our first lesson is this Wednesday.

Parent Teacher Conferences

We have parent teacher conferences tomorrow evening and Thursday all day. Conferences are for parents to attend. Your child is not required to come. Siblings are not permitted to come. Please remember if you answer yes to any of the Covid questions/not feeling well (please see screening sheet that was given to you earlier in the year), if you have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid in the last 10 days, or have returned from international travel in the last 10 days, you cannot attend in person for your conference.
