IMPORTANT DAYS FOR

September has flown

by, and things are

running smoothly

here in Pre-K. The

students are getting

used to the daily rou-

tines, besides the fact

that it cuts into some

of their usual nap

times! :)

September was a very

busy month, as it al-

ways is. October will

be a bit calmer now

that things have set-

tled in. The school is

having an A.R read-

ing night on Thurs-

day the 18th at 7 p.m.,

and the Pre-k’s are

more than welcome

to come. If you ever

have a question, con-

cern, or are just won-

dering how your

child is doing, don't

hesitate to speak with

me, or drop me an

email.

Have a nice

Thanksgiving ,

Ms. Hofer

A Quick Introduction...

The Theme of the Month: Fall and Thanksgiving

The theme of this month will be based around Fall and Thanksgiving. This is an exciting unit because it allows us to explore the changes that are happen-ing outside. We will be going for fall walks with our buddies, talking about

what these weather changes mean for the ani-mals, and doing other fall related activities. Thanks-giving will also be a fo-cus for the month, as we discuss the things that we are thankful for. A few outcomes for this theme

Where: Pumpkin Hollow

(Lumsden)

I hope to see you there!

The plan for our October family day is to go to Pump-kin Hollow in Lumsden. This will be free of charge, howev-er, you will need to find a way there. A note will be coming out next week in re-

gards to transportation.

Set out a piece of yarn for each color of paint you intend to use. Have your child dip the yarn in

one color of paint, and run it across the pa-

per. Use a new piece of yarn for a different

color. You can also talk about symmetrical

art, where something is the same on both

sides. Do it on one side of the paper, then try

folding it in half. The picture to the right was

done by a Pre-K from last year.
