Welcome Back! I hope all of you had a fantastic summer!! Our Summer Camp was amazing! The children enjoyed summer camp and all of the fun activities we provided for them.
This month we will talk about Fall Fruits and Vegetables, Family/Friends, Nutrition
and All About Me.
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 our friends and family and what they mean to us and how important they are. **Please send in a Family Photo for your child, we will be making a family wall so your child can see their family while you are apart.**
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 Nursery and Preschool Classes will be working on poems, monthly themed artwork, new songs and writing skills. They will be learning how to write and spell their name, letters, numbers and shapes. We will be working on the letters Aa, Bb, Cc, numbers 0, 1, 2 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!
Everyday at circle time the Toddler Class will be reviewing numbers, letters, colors, shapes and our daily songs. The children also enjoy doing music, movement and exercise everyday and they are really doing well and they love to do their projects too!

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.
