The “Swanky” Report 10.25.19

This week has just flown by and we are already entering the last week of October! I hope each of you have a wonderful weekend as there are many Halloween/Fall activities happening around town! I can’t wait to see pictures of our little ones from Halloween!

This Week:

Preschool: 

• Our weekly letter exploration focused on the letter “F”! We learned that “F” is for fire, flamingo, fork, fish, fox and flowers!
• We also learned that we are all unique and special in our own way with “The Legend of Spookley, the Square Pumpkin.”

STREAM: 

• We continued our “Build a Fence” activity this week by showing our understanding of 1:1. We matched the popsicle sticks we created last week with numbers 1-10 on a fence.
• We took a walk around our campus to look at the different colors we saw on the trees as the seasons change. We tried to find as many different color leaves as we could.

Reminders: 

1. Picture Retakes will be on November 11, 2019
2. The colder weather is here, please send your students to school with the proper outdoor clothing so they are warm when they go outside for recess.
3. Our students run around and play a lot throughout the day, please remember to bring a water bottle with them to school each day so they can stay hydrated.
4. Remember that we cannot assist your child when going to the bathroom. Please remember to send them to school with pants they can easily pull on and off themselves so we can avoid any accidents.
5. There will be a substitute in class on October 29th and 31st. I’ve already started talking to the students about this so that they aren’t surprised when they come that week to school. Please remind them of this so that it doesn’t put them off their routine. Mrs. Fickel will still be here to assist those days.
6. Our Harvest Party is on October 31st! If you haven’t done so already, please sign-up for any party donations.
7. If you have signed up to bring anything, please bring them in the morning when you drop off your student.

This Coming Week:

Preschool:

• We will have our Harvest party on October 31st! Thank you to all our families who donated snacks, treats and party items!
• Our Letter Exploration will focus on the Letter “G” with “G” is for Goldfish!
• Please bring an item from home that begins with the letter “G” for Show ‘n Tell.

STREAM:

• Students will create their own Fall leaves by experimenting with water, markers and coffee filters. They’ll be able to test out with different filters how the water blends with the markers and creates different effects based on the amount of water used.
• Students will carve open a pumpkin and count how many seeds the pumpkin has.
