Parent Messages
Earlier this
week, we had a confirmed case of type A flu. Please continue to encourage your
child to wash their hands thoroughly and keep their hands out of their mouths.
Please be sure
to send in your attendance confirmation, with your child’s name on it, for our
2nd Family Night. All confirmations should be made no later than Tuesday of
next week. We will be giving away a free book to each student and must have an
accurate count. Family Night will be held on November 19th at Coles
Ferry Elementary at 5:00pm
Next week, we
will begin collecting old paper and aluminum drink cans for recycling. Please
send in any recyclable paper and or aluminum drink cans to add to our
collection.
We’d like to
give a special thank you Ashlynn, Kayleigh, Hunter, and Jahlin for donating box
tops and coke top rewards. Because of the amount of coke top rewards we have
received, we will need 5 parents to volunteer to log in additional points. The
system will only allow us to log in a certain amount a week. Without your help,
we may need to discontinue our collection for a while.

Focus Letter and Concept
This week, our theme was
colors. During our study we read books about the color of the day, sang special
color songs, shared magazine pictures of the color of the day, learned the sign
language for each color, and wore the corresponding color of the day. Next
week, we will continue our Color unit by wearing and discussing a specific color
and cutting out objects that pertain to the color of the day. Please allow
your child to independently cut out the pictures. In addition, we continued
to review the letters A,B, and C.. Next week, we will begin learning about the
letter D. The children had a great time revisiting Apple Annie, Benjamin Bunny,
and Cathy Cook. We also got a chance to sort objects that began with each
letter. Our nursery rhyme this week was, "The Eensy Weensy
Spider". In the nursery rhyme, we discussed cause and effect. During our
nursery rhyme study, we talked about what occurred when the rain came down, and
what the spider did because of it.
Parent and Child
Time
Each day, we
create a morning message and answer a mystery question. Ask your child to share
the morning message and the mystery question of the day.
Play a game of “I
Spy” with colors.
Ask your child
to name the four primary colors.
What is the sign
language for red, blue, yellow, and purple?
As we begin our
study of restaurants, review the type of manners that are expected in a
restaurant.
