Dear Families, We had another fall filled week in Room 411! We continued to investigate and learn about apples, which culminated with a homemade applesauce making experience on Wednesday! The children had a wonderful time using the apple peeler. What ways does your family enjoy eating apples? Here is our applesauce recipe if you want to try with your child at home!
Next week we have a short week but we will begin to really focus on pumpkins. We will investigate their height, width, weight and what is inside! Hopefully we will be learning lots during our trip to the pumpkin patch. Important Field Trip Info! We are excited to go on our very first field trip of the year! We will be departing Ray Tuesday, October 31st at 9:15 am and returning at noon (as close to noon as possible). Please do not send your child in a costume. The field trip is occurring in lieu of a traditional Halloween celebration. Please take the flyer next to the mailboxes if you are looking for more traditional Halloween activities. We have plenty of parent volunteers! Thank You! I want to remind everyone of our preschool field trip procedures. Everyone must bring their child into the classroom and sign your child in as you would normally do. Upon arrival back at the school everyone must come into the classroom and sign their child out. We will not dismiss children to parents who wait outside the building or outside the classroom. I have included the updated parent volunteer expectations: FIELD TRIP VOLUNTEERS Parent participation is essential in ensuring that our preschool children have appropriate field trip experiences. We highly appreciate parents who are able to assist us on our outings! We want to thank all of the parents who will be assisting us on our trips in advance! On field trips we ask that parents supervise their child along with a small group of other children. Please remember that these experiences are meant for children and parents to experience together please refrain from cell phone use unless taking photos for great memories. We ask that you follow all safety rules and abide by the set schedule especially for departure times. We ask that you assist in buckling all students into and out of their seat belts. We ask that you buddy up with another adult to take children to the bathroom (if needed). We also ask that parents do not take part in any extra activities that are not included in the pre-planned field trip (i.e. going to any show/exhibit/performance that is an extra cost, or purchase treats or toys at souvenir shops). We have children with severe food allergies and it could be potentially dangerous to partake in treats/food made with unknown ingredients. November will be a very busy month for us. We will move onto to studying leaves and our social focus will be “Being Thankful”. Please keep a look out in your child’s mailbox for a home “collection” activity in the next couple of weeks. Upcoming events: Tuesday, October 31st- Field Trip to Eden’s Place Friday, November 2nd- No School Wednesday, November 15th- Parent & Teacher Conference- No regular class Tuesday, November 21st- 2nd Parent & Child Activity 9:15-10:15 all students attend with an adult. Have a great weekend! Ms. Weinberg and Ms. Moore
