October Recap:

October was such an exciting month. We started by learning about our Five Senses and Feelings. This theme was a perfect way to help our students understand why we all have different feelings and how to deal with each emotion. The Five Senses they learned included Sight, Sound, Smell, Touch, and Taste. They were all so excited about our literature focus for the month. We're Going on a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger. The teachers read this book during circle, and some classes even went on their leaf hunt! 

We had so much fun during enrichment classes. The students learned about composer Camille Saint-Saens and his famous work, The Carnival of Animals. For art, they learned about Picasso and created some inspired pumpkins. For cooking, the children made a fun spider snack, trail mix, and pumpkin fluff. We had a fantastic book fair from October 25th to October 29th and finished the month with a super fun Halloween Costume Parade! 

November News:

As we move towards November, our month's theme is Harvest and Healthy Bodies. Our literature focus for November is Fill a Bucket by Carol McCloud and Katherine Martin, which teaches our students how to bring daily happiness to one another. There will be fun art and activities, including Thanksgiving crafts.
