November/ON THE GO!

 
We have finally finished up our unit on Friends and feelings.  The children really enjoyed this unit and learned many new concepts.  Most have taken on new ideas about friendship and I have seen a positive change in their attitudes towards eachother. 

A favorite song for the month was "Won't you be my friend".  The children took turns picking a friends to hold hands with as they paraded around the room.  By the end of the song, we had all children included!  They had soo much fun "turning into a snake" as our friend Cameron called it.

The nature walks in the woods the children really enjoyed also.  We have had to stop these temporalily do to deer hunting season.

Thanks to all who attended  and donated food for our Halloween bash.  Even though we had to hold it after Halloween because of the storm, the children still really enjoyed it.  We missed the children who were not able to attend due to the date.

Our new unit is ON THE GO.   We will also be working on our Seasons, proper clothing for each season and different types of Families.  Please try to set aside a few minutes a day and ask your child about his/her day.  Reference to comments that we write in the parent communication book is a good start.

We will be sending home progress reports to our pre-k and younger children by the end of the month.  If you would like a parent conference please let me know.

REMINDER:  WE WILL BE OPEN ON VETERANS DAY BUT TAKE THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING INSTEAD.
