Week 7

This week just flew by! With the cancelled field trip, strange weather and me going on Drake's field trip on Wednesday I can hardly believe it's already the weekend. We did manage to get some pretty good curriculum in this week despite the distractions and changes in schedule. We learned all about the letter sound "v", learned about muscles and joints, talked about Columbus Day, and learned the life cycle of a pumpkin. We also had a special rainy movie day on Thursday and watched The Magic School Bus all about the body. The children loved it! Today we started our morning with some "brain gym" and used our muscles to exercise. The children tire so easily these days... I think they should all play outside more often. Lol. We had fun with songs and movement. In the afternoon we had music class. I am beginning to notice children having a "knack" for certain instruments. It's really neat to see.

A couple reminders:
*Book Orders were due today. I sent the order in already but I can do one additional order on Monday if anyone forgot to send them in today :)

*PICTURE DAY is Tuesday 10/16... The photographer will be there around 8am to set up and begin taking the children's photos. Envelopes have gone out and are due on Monday. Please send your child to school "camera ready" on Tuesday even if you are not purchasing photos because we still will have them participate in our class photo. Combed hair and clean clothes are always a good idea... And shirts without a bunch of logos, etc ;) If your child is wearing something you don't want ruined by outside play please bring in a Labeled change of clothes for them to change into.

*TANAKA FARMS FIELD TRIP (take 2!)
Our field trip has been rescheduled fir this Wednesday 10/17. Same time same place, etc. Please please please let me know if you can't make it or your RSVP has changed due to the change of date. So sorry for the inconvenience.

*Harvest Festival Volunteer Sheets
We need these back ASAP so that we can begin to plan the logistics of the big event. There are so many ways to help. We appreciate anything you could do to help.

*Halloween Snack Party
Did everyone sign up? We still have some open items left on our sheet. We ask that every child participate in bringing something to our parties if possible. Ask me if you would like to bring something special not on the list. ;) thank you!

Busy week coming up! Let's try and stay on top of things so it all goes smoothly :) thank you all for all your help and support! We are having so much fun!
