Is it really just October?!? Our little PreK-3 pumpkins have settled into our school and classroom routines with such amazing ease! I am so proud of them!
We had a fabulous week learning about fire safety, letter Dd, dinosaurs, dogs and even dragons! We explored our sense of smell too! Some smells we unanimously disliked aka GARLIC! And others we unanimously loved aka SYRUP! We may also have come home with some colorful smudges on our sniffers... smelly markers were so much fun to create masterpieces with!! Fun, fun, fun!
We are learning some special seasonal songs that we absolutely love to sing and dramatize. Ask your little musician to give you a little sneak peek at "Five Little Pumpkins!" We can't wait to sing it for you after our Halloween Parade!
On October 7th we will have a visit from the Roxbury Fire Department and we will be spending some time learning about fire safety all morning in preparation for their visit. All morning children are invited to stay. If you have not let me know of your intention to have your child stay, please do so as soon as possible. Please see the notice that went home through your child's backpack earlier this week regarding lunch and pick-up procedures for morning children on that day.
Fall Fun Day is right around the corner! It is scheduled for Wednesday, October 16th. We are collecting $7 per student to help cover the expenses for that fun filled day. Please return your payment with your child's name by October 9th. We are also looking for parent volunteers to help us run the stations that morning. Please let me know in you would be interested in helping out.
Our Mums for Mulch fundraiser delivery and pick-up is scheduled for Wednesday, October 9th in the main building entrance. A notice with all the details will be sent home through your child's folder. Thank you for supporting this wonderful cause!
Halloween falls on a Thursday this year so we will celebrate it on Wednesday, October 30th in PreK. We will have a parade and sing some of our favorite songs afterwards. I will send home information through your child's folder this week so please take a look through it and let me know if you have any questions.
