October 17-21

BOOK FAIR IS THIS WEEK! It is every day until 6pm in the library. There are tons of great books for all ages!! This is a great way to build your home library while helping us build our classroom libraries!!!

We had quite a fun week last week, learning about India, fall and practicing our letters and numbers. We also did a fun science experiment where we learned what 2 colors mix together to make orange. Be sure to check out our artwork hanging on the walls when you drop off or pick up your child.

This week, we will continue to learn more about India, talk about the season changing to fall, and work on more letters and numbers. We will be doing more with books, so watch for these to come home each week.

Here is what we will be doing this week:

We are also working a lot with the children on school skills. These skills include things like walking in a line, raising hands, how to sit in circle, etc. These seem like basic skills to us, but for them, these things can be difficult. In addition to these skills, we are also working on sharing with others, playing with others, and being a good friend. At this age, learning these things is one of our main priorities.

Our Halloween party will be held on Friday, October 28th at 10:30. More details will come this week. If you do not usually attend school on Fridays, but would like to attend the party, please just let me know! You can switch days, add a day, or just bring your child in for the party. We just need to make sure that we are prepared for everyone who wants to attend.
