My husband is back in Milan for ten days and while I originally thought I was going to move onto another country, we instead have a lot of things to get accomplished for our upcoming Thanksgiving Feast. If we get everything done this coming week we might be able to get to another country. I know the kids really enjoy the passports and so do I.
This past week we worked on letters Ww and Xx, numbers 33 and 34, the word "and" and the triangle shape. We also were busy working on decorations for our tables for the feast, working on social/emotional skills, listening to jazz music and reading books about fall and things that happen in the fall...likes squirrels gathering nuts, leaves still changing and falling, etc. Part of our days also included finishing a pattern, counting by tens, counting to 100, finding missing letters and numbers, counting how many days are in a week and how many days in a month. We also graphed which juice we liked best...apple or orange and orange juice came out the winner!
This week we will be busy again with our crafts for the Thanksgiving Feast, working on letters Yy and Zz, numbers 35 and 36, the sight word "big", the rectangle shape and our Bible verse will be "Philippians 4:19 "God will supply all of your needs". We will also have stories about Thanksgiving and Pilgrims, continue working on social/emotional skills and all the fun math activities the kids enjoy!

Reminders:
If you haven't brought in the plain white t-shirt, please bring it in by Tuesday so we can working on them this week. If you need to buy one, please buy one at least one or two sizes larger than the size shirt your child wears. We are going to be cutting and coloring on the t-shirts, so please don't buy anything expensive.
I need the meal count slips of paper (the yellow pieces of paper) brought back to school by Tuesday so we can get an accurate count of how many people in our center will be attending our feast.
Don't forget to sign up for text alerts for our school and if you want to get ahead start on school for next year, sign up for the school your child will be attending. You can go to www.wlos.com and click on the "breaking news text alerts" blue box and it will take you to another web page where you can register your cell phone number and choose the schools you wish to get notices for delay/closures.
Weather this time of year is very unpredictable and can be 65 degrees one day and 45 and windy the next. Please keep your on the forecast so you will know what type of clothing and coats your child should wear to school. We go outside every day unless it is pouring rain, really hot or really cold (below 25 degrees) Please make sure your child has a coat/hoodie/sweater to put on when we go outside. Wal-Mart has their hat/glove sets out and I usually recommend parents pick up one of those $1/$2 hat/glove sets to keep in their tub at school. This way you know they have it for school and don't have to bring one back and forth every day. We don't keep extra hats and gloves for the kids and don't let the kids share hats. An extra pair at school comes in handy!
With the change of the seasons, please change out your child's extra set of clothes and include pants and a long sleeve shirt.
If your child has been sent home sick or has been sick at home, they may not return to school until they have been fever, vomiting and diarrhea free for 24 hours without medication. This is to help prevent the other children and staff from becoming sick as well.
If you would like to pack your child's lunch for them, per our food program guidelines, please make sure they bring a nutritiously balanced lunch including fruit and/or veggies and some protein. If you pack them juice, it has to be labeled 100% juice or we can not give it to the children.
Chapstick and Germ-X are not allowed in the classroom or in the reach of other children. If your child wants to use these things, please make sure they use it before coming to school or you can apply it to them when they arrive at school.
Things for the kids to practice at home:
Blowing noses
Buttoning
Zippering
Putting on a coat
Putting on their shoes and tying them
Have a great week!
