Winter has arrived

Friendly Reminder

Winter has ARRIVED!!  Please REMEMBER to send your child with items to play outside!!  Coats, snow pants (when there is snow on the ground), hats, mittens, boots, etc.  We try to go outside every day, weather permitting.

Make sure to LABEL all your child’s belongings!!

Everyone has black snow pants & boots

Don’t forget to pack a pair of shoes/sneakers in your child’s backpack to change into after.  For Safety Reasons, we ask that you NOT send in slippers. 

If your child’s backpack is too small or to heavy feel free to send in 2 bags.

A back pack for everyday items and a second reusable bag for winter belongings.

Thank You!

Community Helpers

Dear Families,

Our class has begun a new theme on “Our Community.” We will be exploring ideas about places in the community, people in the community, transportation, and taking care of the environment!

The goal of this theme is to have children develop responsibility in their daily lives while learning good citizenship.  Here are some ways you can show community involvement and teach responsibility at home.

• Take your child to community places and events, such as story hour at the public library or a high school sporting event.

• Talk about community workers, such as crossing guards and store clerks, and how to be respectful of them.

• Point out community resources that are part of your daily life, such as trash collection, mail delivery, bus service, and so on.

• Teach your child how to “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!”

• Give your child the responsibility of a daily job. This theme strives to make children responsible for their actions, now and in the future.

The concepts and life skills they learn will be invaluable. Make “going green” a family activity!

Our Community Literacy Tip

Reading signs in and around the community is an important part of developing literacy. Help your child read community and street signs, store signs, signs outside and inside buildings, and signs posted in store windows.

School/Home Connection

Connecting School to Home In science, we will learn that objects can be made from paper, metal, and glass. Help your child identify the materials to help you sort items for recycling.
