Autumn/TRICK OR TRICK TIME

We have had a very busy and productive September.  Autumn came upon us fast!  The children have kept us busy with no  time to write on our blog.lol

We finished our unit on Feelings and emotions.  The children have learned about sad,angry,tired, surprised and scared.  They learned that all these emotions are okay to feel.  It is the actions that we use that get us into trouble.

Our toddler's are working hard on learning their body parts and colors.

All pre-k's have been working on writing their name.  As parents you are your child's first teacher.  Please take the time each day to help your child practice writing their name.  Only the first letter in their name should be uppercase, the remaining letters are lowercase.  All our preschoolers have conquered their colors and shapes!!

Our kindergartners have been busy learning sight words. Reminder that all children learn at a different pace.  I have your child work to the best of their ability.  By kindergarten I have different lessons based on where your child's zone of development is.

Kindergarten and younger will also be having a Halloween party on the 31st.  No costumes are needed but they may bring them if they want.

Our new unit is making friends.  We will learn about what it takes to make and keep friends.  How to be a good friend.(sharing, cooperating,empathy and including everyone.)  We will also discuss the don'ts on friendship.(teasing,hurting,laughing, name calling and bullying)

 

Welcome old and new friends.  We have another great bunch of children this year!! 

The children have been busy learning about Friends and emotions.  We are again using the mothergoose preschool program. http://www.mothergoosetime.com/curriculum/curriculum.php
Please visit this site for an understanding of what your child will be learning throughout the year.  I do however take about two months to go through a one month curriculum.  We will be learning about Friends and emotions through October.  I prefer to go" a mile wide and a mile long" instead of going "two straight miles" in teaching the children concepts and ideas.

I also supplement the children's basic skills lessons and add themed activities for each month.

Our fall field trips have been planned so please view the field trip tab on the right to access the information that will be needed.  Permission slip is hanging on the Parent Board.

Our book bag mouse began his adventures with his new friends this week.  The children voted on a name for our little stuffed mouse.  His full name is: CHESTNUT WHISKERS MOUSEY.

If you happen to take a digital picture of your child and Chestnut and would like me to post it, please send it to me via email and I will add to our facebook and blog page.

Our scholastic book orders are due today.  The class code to order online is GMMFL.  October book orders will go home on Monday.https://clubs2.scholastic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/LogonForm

The tentative Halloween parade/pot luck will be October 30th.  I believe this is also Treat or treat night for the little guys.  In years past, it has always worked out great.  The teachers dress the children and apply make-up if needed.  We do our walk, they eat dinner and go on their magical treat or treat adventure.  I will post a pot luck dinner sign up on the parent board in a couple weeks.

Also in the process of planning our curious creature party from the fundraiser/circus party this summer.

Back to School

Scholastic book orders went home today. The class code is GMMFL.

Welcome old and new friends. The first week of school has gotten off to a great start.  I finally have been able to upload some summer fun photos.  Our circus show has also been added to our YouTube website.

Kindergarten and younger will again be using Mothergoose curriculum this year.  Our them for September and October will be friends and feelings.  Newsletter was placed in your child's folder.

 Show n tell for this week is to bring in a food that is shaped like a circle.
