NOVEMBER Newsletter:

        
This past month we focused on lessons surrounding opposites, rhyming, ordinal numbers, associations, sequencing and size concepts, just to name a few. We filled the days with academics, sensory and art lessons!  The kids really seemed to enjoy the themes as they were incorporated into the curriculum. 

 The Field Trip to Country Days Corn Maze was a huge success! Everyone had a great time. The “orange lunch” was wonderful, thank you to all those who participated and sent in items.

This month we will have a Feast to celebrate Thanksgiving.  More details to follow, soon!

Our November themes are the Farm/ Harvest, Turkeys and Thanksgiving!

Things To Do At Home

      Incorporate your child into family traditions. For example, if you bake a pie for Thanksgiving, have your child help roll out the dough.  Its great sensory input and you could help them learn the sequence for how to bake a pie.

      Even if your child is not reading yet, reading to them, talking about the characters, setting and action of the story will help them formulate concepts about stories. Don’t forget to ask questions! So be RED: read every day!

      If you get homework, please be sure to send it in so we can monitor progress.

Thank you,

Linda, Laura, Jacqueline, Robin, & Sharon

 

Maize Maze.

The ABC School students, teachers, and families once again took a field trip to the Corn Maze.  This is definitely a highlight of the year.  The kids were able to do many activities, such as walking through a corn maze, riding a cow train, playing in a giant shed filled with corn kernels, riding oversized trikes, pumping water for duckie races, and many more.

Fall-ing in love with learning.

Scarecrow Fun Friday.

I don't think this tasty scarecrow will keep the birds away...

...it sure didn't keep these students from munching theirs.

We "be-leaf" fall is the best!

Raking leaves helps with gross motor skills - and teamwork skills.

This is harder than it looks!

Raking leaves is fun!

Sharing a favorite apple book.

Look, we can spell "apple"!

This boy brought in a bunch of apples to share.

This boy is reading his own apple story.

Why bring an apple, when you can bring apple pie!

There's a new teacher in town.

The kids love music time.

Singing is fun!
