Have fun watching the squirrels with your child this week! If you find any fall items, acorns. etc-please send them in for our science center!
Please be mindful when sending your child to school with a cold. If they have had a fever, you should wait 24 hrs before sending them back to school. Also, if they are coughing excessively, or if their nose is really running- yellow or green mucus-please keep them home for the day.
When sending in water bottles, please make sure they are child sized ones. The large ones are too difficult for their little hands. Also, please make sure your child's snack is in the front pocket of their back pack so they can easily get them for snack.
We are working on name recognition and writing your child's name . You can continue this at home by writing your child's name with them in fun ways- shaving cream, sand, play dough etc.
Number practice-count all kinds of objects and point out numbers in the environment.
Friday is the letter C day. Practice this sound during the week. Bring in a show and tell item also on Friday. (Thursday for the T/TH group).

A Squirrel Song(Take me out to the ballgame)
There's a squirrel up in my tree,
Looking right down at me.
Sometimes he hides in the flowerpot
Digging up all the bulbs he an spot
So I threw the squirrel some peanuts and he took them all away,
But I know that he will be back for more nuts someday!
