Jayden and the gang playing in a leaf pile Jack made for us!  THANKS JACK!

Our Thanksgiving feast was a blast.  The children did a great job creating a balanced diet; of course they had chicken nuggets, mac & cheese and tator tots!  They also included corn, apple pie, cranberry sauce, corn bread and some grapes!  Plenty of deserts to choose from too!  We had apple pie, brownies, M & M cookies, chocolate chip cookies and some Popsicles. 

Our Turkey wobble danced has been uploaded to YOUTUBE.  I will also try to post it on this blog.  I recorded it twice; not sure which version you might like.

Our themes for December will be hibernation and family traditions.  The children will be making  

Ornaments, writing letters to Santa and of course learning a Holiday dance!

Many more fun videos were added to our YOUTUBE website. Type in millisaf

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.

All About Me!

Our first week of school was great! We learned about the things that make us different and special from everyone else and we also compared things that were the same.

We began our life size projects of ourselves. Ms Melissa traced us on butcher paper. We painted our clothes. Next week we will label our body parts and finish our master pieces of ourselves. We worked on spelling and writing our names.(some cob-webs over the summer).

We also made an All about me book with Ms Jordyn. We finger painted and played with blue water in the sensory table. We had fun giving"babies" baths and taking care of them. We took turns making "breakfast" and making coffee for Ms. Melissa. In block area we made schools with the blocks and loaded up the school buses to bring them to school.

We had lots of fun in music time dancing to the "hokey pokey" and"loopty-loo". We used stickers and smiley bracelets to help us remember our right from our left. We began learning the song "hands on my head" to learn all our body parts. We are also learning "where is thumpkin" and "Tommy thumb". To help us learn the names of our fingers. If you would like the lyrics to any of these songs just let Ms. Melissa know.

SAVE THE DATE We will be going Apple picking to Cider Hill Wednesday September 21st from 9:00-11:00. Field trip permission slip will be hanging on the parent board. The cost of the trip will be $5.00.

Still trying to get to the children's museum and really want to make it to Charmingfare farm again for the pumpkin fall fest. Anyone willing to chaperone will get a free day of daycare.

(If your child is 4, dont forget to do the monthly HW calendar daily. A lot of the assignments have to do we activities going on in the classroom so if the HW isnt done they have a hard time participating in the activities.)
