October Recap:

We welcomed many changes in October, from warm weather to cooler temperatures to exciting adventures in the classroom. The classroom's monthly theme was Five Senses and Feelings. The children read the month's book, We're Going on a Leaf Hunt, by Steve Metzger. The children were involved in many activities that made them use their five senses, like smelling a pumpkin to feeling the slimy inside. The children were able to learn more about autumn, and they also discussed fire safety.

For our Enrichment program, the children were introduced to the music of Camille Saint- Saens and the fantastic art of Picasso. In cooking, the children could create some fun fall recipes, and for computers, they continued their learning through ABCmouse. Lastly, they reviewed the words they had learned in Spanish and added some Halloween words.

To end the month, we had a blast at our Halloween party! The children had lots of fun and ate delicious treats with their classmates. Thank you to all the families who helped with providing snacks and goodies.

November News:

The theme for November is Harvest and Healthy Bodies. The month's book is Fill a Bucket by Carol McCloud and Katherine Martin. They will discuss and learn about the United States, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving. We have lots of fun-filled activities for the children this month, and we will celebrate our annual Harvest Feast.

We are very thankful for having such amazing families, and we truly do appreciate everything you all do! We will start our See's Candy Fundraiser sometime this month. Keep an eye out for future information.
