Halloween Parade

Our Halloween parade/potluck was a huge success again this year!  The Children really enjoy themselves, or should I say "being someone else".  A big thank you to all the food donations and for taking the time out of your busy day to join us. 

I posted my photos on the Over the Rainbow Dayschool page.  Anyone else who took pictures, please tag us so parents can view them.  I didnt get many photos because it is hard to take pictures and socialize.  I also posted our parade on utube.  I will try to upload it here but it usually fails... not sure why. 

November Newsletter will go home on Monday.  Our themes for this month include; native americans, families, and friends.

Please remember to send in warmer clothes next week.
  • two pairs of mittens
  • hat
  • boots
  • extra socks

Happy Fall



Fall has gotten off to a great start.  We have begun are weekly nature walks which the children have been really enjoying.  During our first week, we collected fall items and made a collage.(optional)  This week was our second walk and the children really seemed to notice all the changes happening around them.  We used duck tape to make bracelets and the children had fun sticking the fall items to their bracelets.

We have also been learning about Fire safety.  We practiced stop drop and roll and how to respond in the event they here a fire alarm at home.  Please review this information with your child and if you do not have an outside meeting place now is the time to make one.  Favorite songs this week were the busy fireman song and the wheels on the fire truck.  I have placed a call with the fire chief so we can visit the fire station but I still haven't heard back on the date or time.

Our Halloween party/parade will be Oct.26th this year at 4:00 sharp. The rain date will be the 27th.  Sign up for our pot luck dinner will be posted inside on the parent wall.  Please have your child's Halloween costume here the day before and label ALL pieces. ( Don't forget a candy bag. )  I will be sending home a newsletter next week with all this information and more.
