Dear
Families,
It’s hard to
believe October is already here! We have
been transitioning to school, exploring the classroom, and really getting to
know what is interesting to the children.
We are going to be exploring the concept of Motion with the children
this semester. We are starting to break
the children into learning groups depending on where we see their interests
lie. Each learning group will be
documented and the documentation will be posted for families to see. We are also constantly adding to our web of
thinking at the front of the classroom which expands on the ideas we are
exploring with the children.
Our
communication board is also at the front of the classroom. Please feel free to share your ideas of what
you are noticing at home with regards to movement and your child. We will try to make sure we are continuing
some of the concepts you are seeing at home.
October 29th
is a Wednesday and will be our Halloween Walk at school. This will take place from 4-5pm that
afternoon. Parents are encouraged to
participate and everyone is welcome, even those children not signed up for the Wednesday
session. If your child attends school
that day and you would like to attend, please bring your child’s costume and
you can sign them out of the room at 4 to go on the walk. If you are unable to attend but your child
comes to school on Wednesdays, you can pack a costume in your child’s backpack.
If your
child does not attend school Wednesdays please bring your child dressed and
ready for the walk. Because of the size
of our classroom, we are asking that if children are not attending school that
day they not come back to the classroom to prevent overcrowding. We will try to make sure we see everyone on
the walk or in the hallway! Donations of
treats to pass out will be welcomed at the front desk in the weeks leading up
to the walk.
As always,
if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask!
