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

      Review work that comes home and talk to your child about what they did each day.

      Practice drawing shapes. You can use crayons, sand or even shaving cream!

      Help your child identify colors, even in their community or the grocery store J

      Label different sizes in every day activities or occurrences, i.e. “Look at the Big dog next to the Little dog!”

      Anytime you can incorporate our theme into your conversations with your child, it is more exposure to the vocabulary we are using at school.

                                Thank you,

Linda, Laura, Jacqueline, Robin,

Back to School!

Welcome back to ABC School!  We hope everyone had a fun summer.

The teachers are so happy to see the students, and from the looks on these

students' faces, it seems they are excited to be back to school.



 

These friends brought green and red apples for show and tell.

This boy brought pictures of apple picking - so fun!

This sweet girl brought a bright red apple to share.

All the teachers at ABC School want to wish everyone a happy summer break.

Thank you for a fun-filled school year.  We will miss those students who are leaving us, but we are so proud of how much they accomplished this year.  We can't wait to see the students who will be attending summer camp in a couple weeks, and we'll see the rest of you all this fall. 

Community Helpers.

The students at ABC School loved learning about Community Helpers. 

Future firemen.

Little doctor.

Cute policeman.

Community helpers keeps us safe!

Even Fun Friday was extra special with a graham cracker firetruck!

Berry Fun!

This spring the ABC students went on a field trip to the strawberry patch.

They had a hayride, picked tons of delicious strawberries, made strawberry hats,

played in a huge sand pit, saw chickens, had rubber duckie races,

ate a picnic lunch and drank strawberry smoothies - whew! 

It was a lot to do and a lot of fun!
