Pajama Day is going to be on Friday, November 12th. The kids are very excited about it. Please send them to school in warm pajamas and sneakers. For the children’s safety please don’t allow them to wear slippers because they tend to trip and fall in them. On Pajama day we will be counting sheep and telling bedtime stories and having milk and cookies. The class will also discuss how important it is to go to bed early and to get enough sleep for school. We will also talk about fears they may have about the dark or bad dreams. It is very comforting to them when they realize a lot of other kids are afraid of bedtime too! We will then discuss ways that can help make us feel better.
Thanks to all the parents that attended parent night and to all the parents who brought in treats for Halloween.

Regards,

We will be spending much time this month on what it means to be thankful, and what we are thankful for. Our Thanksgiving Feast will take place on Wednesday November 24. The children will enjoy the traditional Thanksgiving foods, such as turkey and stuffing. If this is not your child’s regularly scheduled school day, they are welcome to attend. If you would like to volunteer to bring something in, there will be a sign up sheet.

There will be no school Thursday November 11 for Veteran’s Day. We will also be closed for Thanksgiving Recess Thursday November 25-Friday November 26.

Thank you to all who volunteered and brought in items for our Halloween Party. We had a great time!

Happy Thanksgiving!

The children have wonderful memories and demonstrate what they have learned in past week at the beginning of each class. I am so proud of each of them. At the end of each class the children are read a story from the Froggy series by Jonathan London.

This month we will learn the color brown, number 3, shape rectangle, letters G, H, & I.
As the weather gets colder we will still be going outside, so please be sure to send your child with a jacket. All items of clothing (jackets, hats, etc.) should be labeled so they do not get lost or taken home to the wrong house.

We will be having a Thanksgiving feast on Wednesday Nov. 24, so the children can taste the different foods of Thanksgiving- We will learn how to make butter, as well. I will have a sign up sheet if you would like to send something in. Have a great month!!

This month we will be learning the letters H, I, J and K. The color of the month is brown and our shape is a triangle. The projects will center on the Fall and Thanksgiving.

Our Thanksgiving celebration will be on Wednesday the 24th. All Tot Timers are invited that day. A sign-up sheet will be posted in the classroom.

School will be closed on November 25th and 26th.

Have a wonderful holiday. See you on Monday the 29th.

Sincerely Miss Rosie and Miss Carol

The first two months of cooking class have gotten off to a most wonderful and enthusiastic start. The students really enjoy the cooking and I really enjoy seeing them try foods that they have never tried before.

Enjoy the holiday season… here is a great Thanksgiving recipe for all to enjoy.
