Week 11

-

Hello Families! 

Another week is in the books! This week we talked more about leaves and also spent quite a bit of time on learning shapes! If you need something to occupy your child sometime this weekend, tell them to go on a shape hunt and look for circles and triangles!

We also started talking about Thanksgiving, and what being thankful means! We will continue talking about that until Thanksgiving break!


Things to Know: 

Father's Night: This week we will be sending out a video with some instructions for a virtual Father's Night! Usually we do Father's Night at school, but due to COVID we are changing it to a virtual one! We really love this event and watching dad's have fun with their students :) Watch out for an email Monday with more information! 

 Extra Clothes: Now that it's getting colder (except for this weekend) please switch out your students summer/fall spare clothes, for some winter ones! I will put any bags of clothes that are in students lockers into their backpacks for you to check and change out.

November 25: Hopefully you all got the newsletter from Holland Christian that told you that November 25 will no longer be a half day off. Now it is a full day off! 

Snacks: 

Here is the our snack schedule! It is the same every week:

Monday: Yogurt and Animal Crackers

Tuesday: Graham Crackers and Raisins

Wednesday: Carrots and Goldfish

Thursday: Cheese Stick and Crackers. 


Enrichment Blurbs:

Here is a little peek into what our enrichment afternoons look like! 

Monday Enrichment: We continued talking about popular places in Holland. This week was Captain Sundae! We painted ice cream cones with a shaving cream mixture. 

Tuesday Enrichment: We are continuing to talk about shapes. This week we will talk about circles and ovals by comparing and contrasting them and going on a shape hunt! 

Wednesday Enrichment: We worked on our counting and rhyming, while using our gross motor skills. We played various gross motor bean bag games while counting with rhyme “Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum in a dish.”

Thursday Enrichment: It was our little explorer day and explored Pigeon creek park and talked about “who lives in a tree.”

 Hello Families!  We made it through our first week of school! We had SO much fun getting to know your students and teaching them some of our routines! In these next couple of weeks I am sure some of our friends will still feel some big emotions as they get used to the routine of coming to school. This is totally normal and we will keep giving lots of hugs and lots of encouragement!  Next week we will keep learning our school routines, and we will take our first field trip! On Wednesday we will get on a bus and head to the High School for our all School convocation. If possible, please drop your child off by 8:20 so we can get to the bus on time.  Things To Know:  Walk-a-thon T-shirt: There is a QR code outside of my room to sign up your student for a walk-a-thon t shirt. Please sign them up on Monday if you haven't already done so!  Upcoming Dates (Details to follow as the dates get closer): Post Family Farms: September 22 *Remember, each student needs an...

 Hello Families!  This week we had fun celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with Maestra Fernandez's class! Throughout the year we will take a few opportunities to learn from our Spanish Immersion friends about some Latino culture and traditions!  We also went to the library for the first time this week! We talked about how we will let the kids borrow a book this week, and then they can bring it back and get a new one! There is a blue bin on the little table outside of my classroom labeled "library books". You may put your library books in there at any time! There is a limit of 6 books out at one time. If you have 6 out at once I will print out a list of the books you have at your house and send it home with your student so you know which books you're looking for.  Next week we will see you at Post Family Farm on Monday! We will also have our preschool Walk-a-thon on Thursday!  Things to Know: Post Family Farms is on MONDAY . Remember, we are meeting at the farm...
