Miss Amy’s October Newsletter

                                      

             

Wow! It is turning out to be a great year!!! I have had a great time teaching your children. The mornings are filled with learning and lots of fun.

We continue to develop our classroom and school week routines together.  In October we focus on the theme of “Fall” and have fun with Halloween activities. We enjoy the vibrant colors of the changing leaves, the harvest, and observe the seasonal changes in nature.

In math we are practicing calendar and weather routines and learning more about number formation, number sequences and patterns.  Students have many practical and fun opportunities to practice counting, number recognition throughout the day.

Kindergartners are learning to refer to classroom models and resources as they listen to letter sounds, practice letter and number formation. Handwriting Without Tears has been an amazing tool this year. The children are learning their letters and having a lot of fun as they do it.

Dress…

We go outside every day, weather permitting.  Please make sure your child wears clothing appropriate for cooler or wet days, so he/she will be comfortable, especially as the fall days grow chillier.  Clothing labeled with your child’s name will help us to locate any lost items.  Practice with snaps, buttons, zippers, and laces at home can help your child feel more confident dressing for outside when he/she is at school.

Field Trip…

We are joining preschool on a field trip. It is at Colonial Gardens and it will be $5.00. We are leaving BY 8:45 and will be back in time for lunch. If you would like to attend please contact me. Remember to have sneakers on you child and pack a fall jacket.

    The Classroom…
Please try to come down with your child and look at what they have been doing on their classroom. I hang a few things up a week and I know they are excited to share what they are learning with you.

Thank you to all the parents that brought in supplies in September. If you still have things to bring in they are more than welcome.
