September & October


Wow!  Where has the time gone?  It’s hard to believe that it is already Halloween on Friday!  We have been having a lot of fun over the past month and a half and have been very busy with our learning.  We have been making different arts and crafts, practicing our ABC’s and tracing our names.  We have been learning about numbers and colours and we have spent a lot of time talking about Fall and the different changes that happen during this season.  We also spent some time talking about Thanksgiving and made our own turkeys.  We even became turkeys when we put our homemade turkey hats on and played “All Turkey’s in the Nest” when we went to the gym.  Going to the gym is one of the Pre-K’s favourite parts of the afternoon.  We have learned lots of new games in the gym with two of their favourites being “Red Light, Green Light” and “What Time is it Mr. Wolf?” 

This week our theme is going to be Halloween.  We will be painting mini pumpkins on Wednesday and having our Halloween party on Friday.  NO COSTUMES PLEASE.  However, the Pre-K’s can wear orange and black to our party on Friday.  We are going to have a SPOOKTACULAR time! 

**A few quick reminders:       

·         Please send a healthy snack with your child for snack time.  Thank you to those parents that already do that. 

·         Please try to have your child use the bathroom before our class begins. 

·         Wednesday, November 5th is Picture Day. 

·         Friday, November 7th there is No School. 

We have had an excellent start to our year and I hope the Pre-K’s are having as much fun as I am so far this school year!  If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me at the school or speak with me before or after class.   

Thank you and take care,  

Mrs. Shade
