Leaves & Fall

This week our theme was “Fall & Leaves”.  We learned about the letter Ll, made a leaf book, used watercolor paints to make a leaf and painted an acorn.  The children also made fall trees, a pumpkin booklet and created a page for our first classroom book about Having Fun In Fall.  Your child has brought a fall memory game home, which they can cut out and play with you over the weekend! 

Next week our theme will be “Fire Safety”.  During the week we will complete a fire safety book, paint a “fire dog” (Dalmatian), create a fire scene and make firemen hats.  On Wednesday & Thursday the fire chief will visit us from the Stetsonville fire department.  The children will learn about the tools a firemen uses and what an emergency is.  They will learn how to stop, drop & roll and how to stay low in a smoke filled room.  Our letter for the week will be Ff.

Reminders & Updates:                                 

     *No Pre-K Class: Wed., Oct. 14th due to Child Development Days

*P/T Conferences: Thurs., Oct 15^th -please return your confirmation slip!  Each conference is only 10 minutes long as I have a lot of families to meet with; please remember to be on time.  You child need not attend the conference with you. 

*There will be a “Giving Tree” set up for our classroom at conferences. Please feel free to choose an apple from the tree and send the item to school with your child if you can.  This is a way to help provide the children with some of those “extra” materials needed for projects and activities at school.

*Remember to wash and return your child’s pillow and blanket for naptime if you have not already done so.

*Take some time to help your child learn to zip his or her own coat this weekend.
