November Newsletter


Dear Parents:

Happy Fall/Thanksgiving! I have so much to be thankful for including you, wonderful parents, and your sweet little ones! This month is going to cover the following:

1. H= Health. We are going to cover some VERY important basics, including, but not limited to: why it is important to brush your teeth, wash your hands, and eat certain foods! Snack will be Hot Dogs (by popular vote from the children who keep asking me when we get to eat hots dogs at school!)

2. I = Insects and Spiders. This creepy, crawly unit is a favorite. We will talk about and handle some of our most favorite critters (i.e. ladybugs, butterfly, crickets, etc) Snack will be Ice Cream.

3. Thanksgiving Week. We will be learning about the first Thanksgiving as well as having our very own feast on the 18th. For that day we are asking each child to bring a food to share with his or her friends in honor of Thanksgiving Day! Please respond via the comments section with something you can bring - and remember to please cut or make the portions sizes very small, it does not take much to fill these little tummies up! This feast will take place at 11:15 to 11:45 - so your child can count this as their lunch for that day!

Please remember there is no school on the 11th for Veterans Day nor the 23rd or the 25th for our Thanksgiving break! Enjoy this special time with your family and loved ones.
Firefly book orders due on November 2nd!

Call me if you have any questions about this information! Thanks for always blessing me with your smiles and sweet attitudes. Have a great month and know that I love your children!

Love,
Britni

October Newsletter

Dear Parents:

Happy Fall! We're having a great year so far, and zipping right along with our alphabet. Now that we are done with A, B, and C here is what your child can look forward to this month:

1. D= Dinosaurs. This unit is going to be a blast. We are going to read about, recognize, and learn some names of various dinosaurs. Snack will be Donuts.

2. E= Everyone is Different - Don't forget to have your child bring in a family picture on or before October 12th (preferably a 5x7 size!) We are going to discuss how everyone is unique, comes from different families, and has different feelings. Snack will be Eggs.

3. F= Farms. We will be learning about how farmers work with fruit, vegetables, and animals! We are taking our next field trip on the 20th of this month - that coincides with this unit. Snack will be Fruit Snacks.

4. G= Ghosts and Goblins (Our Halloween Unit). On the 28th the children can wear their costumes over their clothes! What they take off will just come home in their buckets. This week will be filled with lots of Halloween stuff including "Trick or Treating" around our neighborhood. Snack will be Grapes (eyeballs).

Firefly book orders due on Thursday, October 12th!

Thanks for your support and trust. I am really enjoying your little ones so much. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns; I am always open to helpful suggestions. Enjoy October!
