October Newsletter


 
 
 
The first month of school was a great success!  We are now finishing up with our “All About Apples” theme and will move onto our “Fall” theme.  We have been incorporating the themes into our every day academic and language groups.  Ms. Sharon has also followed our theme in her OT sessions! The learning concepts that we have been focusing on are following directions, descriptions, classification and sequencing as well as the core concepts of colors, numbers, counting, letters, phonics and sight words.

We are gearing up for our field trip to the corn  maze (be sure to get your permission slip in!) and are excited about our “Orange Lunch” that will take place at the end of the month (details to follow).

Our October themes are Fall, Leaves, Pumpkins and Halloween!

Things To Do At Home:

*      We have been exploring with different sensory items and textures: shaving cream, beans, rice and nuts. You can continue to do this as well at home!

*      Use the communication sheets to talk to students about how well they are doing or things that they can work on for the next day.

 
Friendly Reminders -
 
ü  If you are running late or your child will be out of school for the day, it would be helpful to our staff if you could notify us as soon as possible at 704-443-2990

 ü  It is starting to get cooler, so you may want to send in alternative extra clothes.  Please be sure to label clothing and jackets J

 
Notables:
* Remember you may communicate with the     staff by using our email address
We encourage parents to share other  professional’s reports (i.e. neurologist, therapists-speech, OT, PT, ABA, or specialists) as it is very helpful to us to better understand your child.  All reports will be kept confidential.
Thank you,
Linda, Laura, Jacqueline, Robin,
and Sharon
