Week of October14, 2024

 Weekly Recap:

We had a fun and very busy short week of school.  We learned so much from our Roxbury Fire Fighters!  We also had so much fun reviewing our letters and learning Number 2!

A Peek at our Week Ahead:

This week we will be learning Letter Ee, working on our sense of touch as well as working on our other October themes!

Dressing for the weather:  As the weather begins to get colder, 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 when 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.
