Dear
Families,
Welcome to October! We are so excited that all of the children
seem to be adjusting to the classroom and our school day. It has been nice to see happy faces not only
during the day but when coming to school too!
Ms. Dunbar and Ms. Salame have been
working with Mrs. Stone and Ms. Rodegher to plan and implement lessons in the
classroom. We have noticed an interest
in ideas surrounding light. This is seen
in shadows, how light moves, and even in the sun and stars. We would really like to continue exploring
and expanding on these ideas with the children.
To help with these investigations, we would love any donations of
flashlights, rope lights, disco balls, or Christmas lights.
We are also inviting parents to
check out our communication board and idea web at the front of the
classroom. We are collecting ideas here
of what the children are interested in and what we want to pursue with
them. We would love if you had ideas to
contribute or things you notice at home that might be related to what we are
exploring in the classroom. We will be
updating our learning group information also which is located at the front of
the classroom. We will keep
documentation of what the children are saying and doing related to specific
ideas we are pursuing with the children.
At the end of the month, we will
have a Halloween Walk. More details will
follow as to specific times but we will be asking for donations of candy and
other trick-or-treat items (pencils, playdough, goldfish crackers) which will
be collected near the front desk.
As always, if you have any questions
or comments, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Have a great month!
Catie Stone and Charlene Rodegher
