Weekly Recap:
We had a short but very busy week learning about firefighters and fire safety! Ask your little one all about it!
A Peek at our Week Ahead:
We will be learning Letter Dd and working on Number 2 this week as well as continuing to explore the season of Fall.
Dressing for the Weather: As the weather begins to get colder (maybe not this week but soon), please dress your child for outdoor play. I recommend sending your child in a well fitting, warm hat as opposed to wearing a hood as their vision is obstructed with their hood as they run and play on the playground. Layers are always a good idea as well as we will continue to keep our classroom windows open (even with the heat on) throughout the upcoming months to better ventilate the classroom. Having a sweater or sweatshirt over their outfits in addition to outerwear is always a good idea so they can peel them on and off if they get warm or chilly. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE label everything with your child's name!! If you can't find a good spot, use a sharpie and write their name or initials on the washing instructions tag on the inside of the garment.
Emergency Clothing Bags: If your child has had to dip into their supply, please send in additional items. Now is also a good time to send in long sleeves and long pants (if you supplied us with warmer weather outfits) for us to have in your child's bag in the event of an emergency change of clothes.
Donation Request: Thank you to all the families who donated classroom supplies. We have been using lots and lots of baby wipes as we clean our hands frequently with them throughout the school day. If anyone is able and willing to donate more baby wipes in the next few weeks we would be so appreciative. We are well stocked with disinfecting wipes and tissues right now. Thank you so much for your generosity.
This Week's Focus will be on:
Letter of the Week: Letter Dd
Number of the Month: 2

Shape of the Month: Triangle
Monthly Themes: The Five Senses, Season of Fall, Counting 0-2, Sorting, Halloween, Fire Safety & Community Helpers, Pumpkin Science

Show and Tell: Friday, 10/13 - Please bring in one item that starts with the "D" sound (dog, dragon, dinosaur, dots, a picture of Daddy or someone else whose name starts with the letter D, etc.) or fire fighter related to show and tell our preschool friends about. (The children have been so excited to share their items as well as listen to their friends sharing their own. It's never to early to practice public speaking as well as being a good audience!!)
