Month in Review


Wow!  We have completed one month of school already!  We have learned sooo much about each other and our class.
  •     Names of friends
  •     Routine of the day
  •     How to say goodbye to families for class time and hello to our classmates
  •     Songs
  •     Clean up after ourselves
This week we talked about friendships. We made a quilt for our classroom that shows  ways to be a good friend. We used the watercolor paints for the first time to paint the world for our project on Tuesday. On Wednesday we learned the sign language for please and thank you. Be sure to have your child show you if they haven't already. We have a few photos posted on the Photo Gallery page too, you can get to it by clicking the link in the left navigation bar.

We are looking forward to having a lot more fun in the month of October. We will be learning about fall, pumpkins & apples. The fire crew will be bringing a fire truck to school for us to look at and even sit in on Thursday October, 13th as we wrap up our fire safety unit. We will take our first class trip on a bus to Hermanson's Pumpkin Patch on Thursday, October 20th. And, of course, we will enjoy our costume party on October 31st. More details on all these fun-filled events will be in future newsletters & blog posts so stay tuned!

We have added a theme for our October Show & Tell...collections. When it is your child’s turn for Show & Tell, please help him/her bring in items from a collection he/she has. Such as cars, dolls, shells, rocks, Beanie Babies, Bakugans, Squinkies, coins, stamps, Star Wars figures, etc. Or if he/she has a precious/fragile collection (figurines, etc) please send a photograph of the collection instead.

Don't forget about our Open House 
next Thursday from 5:00-6:30! 
All family members are welcome to come visit.
