Orange Day!

This week we worked on our numbers, days of the week, months of the year, the letter D and the color orange. We colored pictures of things that are orange and practiced counting with a couple of work sheets and with the counting bears. The kids looked fabulous on Friday all dressed up in their orange shirts. We played color bingo on Friday and practiced all of our colors that way.

Next week we will be on the letter E and the number 5. Our theme this week is Falling into Autumn, so we will be exploring the Fall season and then will have our Halloween party on Friday. So make sure if you have a costume to bring it and we'll put it on for the party!

Have a terrific weekend and I will see you all on Monday.

REMINDER: just a note about the upcoming holidays. Please remember that if you plan on being gone any other day than I am closed, those days are considered vacation days and will be counted out of your total 10 days of the year. Also, if there is a day that I am open and you are not using it as a vacation day but your child will still not be here, you still owe your fees. I will be letting you know specific days that I will be closed within the next couple of weeks. I can for sure tell you I will be closed Thursday November 27 - Sunday November 30 for Thanksgiving. Please give me as much notice as possible for days you will be gone as well. Thanks!

Finger Painting Friday

Once again I think we have had a really great week. We were supposed to do our finger painting last week, but with time constraints it wasn't accomplished. So today we finished our week with our finger painting master pieces! The kids loved it. They took turns, two at a time, making beautifully bright creations. We also spent the morning reviewing our letters and our days of the week. We played Disney Bingo and Candy Land and tired ourselves out playing.

Next week we will be finishing our Safety weeks. Next Friday will be our Orange day, so be sure to send your child in something orange for our group picture that day!

Always remember that suggestions and comments are welcome! Have a great weekend.

Playing Catch Up Again!

Our Red Day! What a bunch!

This is becoming more of a monthly blog rather than a weekly blog, but sometimes it is easier to do my posting all in one block!
We have been busy the last month, finishing up our Back To Basics month in September, where we reviewed our ABC's, Numbers, Shapes, and colors. This month we have been working on safety. We started out on Fire Safety, then have been working on stranger safety and playground safety. The last week of this month we will be having a Fall theme week, where everything is geared toward the Fall season. Then we will be having a Halloween party on the 31st, so make sure the kids wear their costumes if they have one! You don't need to bring all of the accessories to the costumes if there are some, just to be on the safe side, we can stick to the major costume itself.
I will be working on the November newsletter the next couple of weeks, so look for that in the future.
I know we had set up a fire station visit this month, but because Oct. is fire safety month, they had to cancel due to their schedules and they recommended that I reschedule sometime in Nov. So that is what I will try to do!
The letters of the month are ABCDE and the numbers 1-5. We are working on the shape Circle and the color orange! So look for upcoming reminders. I hope you are all enjoying the fall weather and the beautiful fall colors!
