Celebration!!!

It was GREAT!!!!  Thank you to all who dressed their child in costume and/or brought a dish to share!  With the exception of a pretty poorly planned fire drill...all went so well!

United Nations/ Children's Day Celebration

Blaze is hard at work counting with the Number Rods.

Jayvyn is labeling the parts of the pumpkin.

Kameron is carefully working with the Color Tablets.

Will you be here Wed. the 26th for the parade?  Everyone is invited.  Please start talking about your child's heritage with them, bring an "easy to eat" dish for the children's potluck. (if there is extra-the adults can join in the feast!) and dress your child in traditional costume.  Be on the look-out for communication from our super-fantastic room mom, Celena, to sign up for your dish to share.  Space is tight, so I have arranged for us to use the cafeteria for over-flow.

Here is the flier:

                              United Nations Day Celebration

On Wednesday, October 26th we will be celebrating United Nations Day.  This is a day designed to celebrate our diverse cultural community. Discuss with your child his/her ethnic heritage.  Choose one that is either prevalent in your family or one that you and your child would like to learn about.  With your child, put together a traditional costume or parts of one that they may wear that day for our “Small World Parade.” Then, prepare a food that is also symbolic of the heritage the child represents to bring and share in “A Small World Potluck.”  Festivities begin with a parade at 10:20.  The potlucks will be enjoyed by the children in their respective classrooms.

Celebración Del Día De Las Naciones Unidas

El miércoles 26 de Octobre en Faith North Montesorri estaremos celebrando el Día de las Naciones Unidas.  Este es un día para celebrar la diversidad cultural de nuestra comunidad.  Hable con su hijo/a de su herencia étnica.  Escoja una que sea prevalente o que solo sea divertido para aprender.  Junto con su hijo/a, arregle un traje tradicional o partes de uno que ellos puedan usar ese día para nuestro desfile cultural.  Después, prepare una comida que es también algo simbólica de la cultura que ellos representan para traerlo a la clase y compartirlo en “ Una comida de un mundo pequeño”.  Las festividades comenzaran con un desfile a las 10:20.

Thank you

The Faith North Staff

Outdoor Environment-
We are so lucky to have an outdoor environment for our students to visit!  The teacher is named Miss Kym and is a gardening genius!!!!!  When the children work outside they are gardening, working with tools, painting, preparing food for the animals, feeding the animals and much more.  The outdoor environment is open for some of the morning most days of the week.  Each class is only allowed two students at a time to work outside.  You can imagine that it takes a while to get all of the children a turn out there, plus, some children just aren't comfortable leaving the classroom.  Everyone will get a turn when they are ready, I promise!

Observations-
If you would like to come and observe my beautiful class in action, you may!  Please email me to set up a day/time.  Observations last for 30 minutes.  I do ask that you not talk to the children during your observation time-having an extra adult in the class is a great enough distraction for them! 

Book Orders-
Every on-line order gets the class a free book!  There are some cute titles that would make great stocking stuffers or gifts.  (I am one of those "plan ahead for the holidays" types).  Please place your order by 10/17.
