Hibernation & Migration

This week our theme is “Hibernation & Migration”.  The children will make raccoons, turtles and Canadian geese.  We will talk about many different animals and learned what hibernation & migration mean.

During the next 2 weeks our theme will be “Halloween”.  We will make jack-o-lantern windsocks, ghost feet, pumpkins, glitter bats, a painting with cookie cutters, & spider hands.  We will continue to work on name printing, matching, cutting and counting.  Our letters will be Mm & Jj and we will begin to work on number recognition and number printing.  We will celebrate Halloween on Oct. 30^th/31^st so please remember to send a costume to school with your child that day.  You are also welcome to send a wrapped treat for your child to hand out when we go “trick-or-treating” in our classroom.  There are currently 20 children in the Mon/Wed class & 19 in the Tues/Thurs class (with no known allergies).

 Reminders & Updates:                 

       

*Early Education Reading Reward Books: Each month I will provide your child with a book to keep.  This book should be added to your child’s library and will help build their love of reading!  These books will have a white sticker on the back indicating that they are a “Reading Reward” book so you know they are yours to keep.  You should have already received one of these books last week!

*Pumpkins: If you have a pumpkin you would like to donate to our classroom please feel free to drop it off before or after school.  We will carve a pumpkin at our Halloween party later this month!

*Please make sure you are sending your child to school with hats, mittens and warm coats as the weather gets cooler.  Remember that we play outside three times a day.
