Have a happy Thanksgiving!!!

Being Thankful

I just couldn't send the students off for the Thanksgiving Holiday without expressing how thankful I am for such a kind and sweet group of children!

I am also thankful to each family who sent in napkins and Kleenex for the children.  Also to Jasper's mom who hand-made new snack aprons for us, to Ryan's mom who came to talk to us about the Omaha Tribe, to Veena's mom for coming to speak to us about India, and to Lauren's family for the donation of the singing bowl and the Zen Garden.

I will see you again On Monday 12/2!

November!!

Where did October go?

Most Important!
If your telephone number has changed, please email myself and the office!  If your child's emergency contact person's telephone number has changed, please email myself and the office.  This also applies if your address has changed.  Up to date information is critical for us to have in emergencies.  Thank you!


Observations

It is that time! Starting in November,  you are welcome to come and observe the classroom.  I ask that you make an appointment with at least 24 hrs notice.  Each observations is 30 minutes in length.  This is a time to be "a fly on the wall" and watch how the classroom works as a community.


Children's Day!

Thank you to everyone who joined the festivities!  We had a wonderful time!  The children did a great job walking in the parade and sitting for the elementary performance.  I am so proud of them!  The food and the company were awesome!  Thank you again for helping make our day such a success!

 Here We Go!

 
Up Next !
 
November bring studies of trees and leaves, North America, North American animals, Native Americans, nuts, and lots of new songs and poems!  If your family has a Native American heritage, I would love to make the time for you to share it with the class!  I offer the children information on the Powhatan, Navajo, and the Hopi people.  I love it when parents come to share.
 
The Holidays are right around the corner!  If you have a cultural holiday tradition you would like to share, you are welcome to come!  Please let me know!
