Dear Parents,
Welcome Back! I hope all of you had a fantastic summer!! We had a great time here at Miss Dawn’s summer camp with all of the fun activities! The children enjoyed Happy Feet, Girl Scout Programs, Touch Tank and many more events. They also enjoyed the end of summer Pizza Party!!
This month we will talk about Fall Fruits and Vegetables, Family/Friends, Nutrition and All About me. The children will be discussing which fruits and vegetables grow in the Fall.
The Nursery and Preschool Classes will be working on poems, Holiday 
themed artwork, new songs, writing skills with “Handwriting Without Tears”, learning how to write and spell their name, letters, numbers and shapes. We will be working on the letters Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, numbers 1-5, colors, patterns, months, seasons. The children also enjoy doing music, movement and exercise everyday. They are really doing well and love to do their projects too! Please check their folders for work and please review every night.
Everyday at circle time the Toddler Class will continue name Recognition, Shapes, Numbers, Colors and Alphabet Recognition. The children also enjoy doing music, movement and exercise everyday. They are really doing well and love to do their projects too! **TODDLERS will be picked up at WHITE DOOR (Miss Erika’s class ONLY) This avoids traffic in the hall – Thank you!**
In our Fall Fruits and Vegetables Unit, we will discuss the fall fruits and vegetable that we eat and use as decoration at this time of the year. We will make many fun projects and decorate our classroom with our works of art!
In our Family/Friends Unit, we will discuss who are our friends and family and what they mean to us and how important they are.
In our Nutrition Unit, we will discuss all of the good foods that we eat and how to keep our bodies healthy. We will also discuss proper nutrition and what we should eat at each meal.
In our All About Me Unit, we will discuss all the things that make us different and the same as our friends and classmates and what our likes and dislikes are.

The cooler weather is coming soon!! The children will be going outside twice a day as weather permits. Please dress your child appropriately and label ALL items (with child’s first and last name) that are brought to the school and also bring in an extra change of clothes too. To ensure safety please have your child wear sneakers everyday, no crocs, flip flops or open shoes, as they are not safe for the playground. Please bring in suntan lotion, insect repellent, wipes and a change of weather appropriate clothes; jacket, hat, shorts / pants, shirts, socks and underwear (if needed) for your child. Please remember to return sippy cups, bedding and blankets on Monday’s after bringing them home to be washed. **Please do not send in glass containers for the children’s safety as they break.**
We please ask that all children leave their toys and jewelry home as we encourage sharing of the schools toys. This will ensure their safety and we do not want the children to be upset if an item may get lost or broken.
