Last week children from Harada enjoyed learning the origin and

traditions of Halloween, they had a lot of fun making experiment and

different activities. This week they will learn about the five Senses, teachers will research all

about the five senses and will give all information to the children. It will be very interesting for the children to learn scientifically the diagram of each sense and their operations, their ability to

respond to any specific reaction following the brain signals. Children will play telephone games for hearing, playing musical instruments game, making play dough, making a paper Mache human body, and on Friday we will make vegetable soup.

Saturday night? Last week our classes talked about trees. They did a variety of activities involving trees and tree parts. Ms. Marisa’s and Ms. Marias class

getting practice to help you wrap those holiday gifts. Ms. Bousha’s class made a variety of trees

with different materials. On Friday, we had a Harvest Celebration. Look for pictures in our next issue. In the month of November, our unit of study will be Buildings. The children will be looking

paintings and mask making. We will study the holiday and discuss how it came about to be a calendar

holiday. We will be focusing on language and literacy with writings on the day of the dead, and making

our own short stories/poems. We will also be including sounds of the season, and studying different

sounds and senses that the fall may bring.

Part time Preschool - Our classes concluded our construction theme with phenomenal work from our

parents and children at home. Our children got the opportunity to present their construction projects

with their peers; giving our children the opportunity to build their speaking skills and to lose their stage

houses, castles, parking lots, buildings and so much more! We are looking forward to an amazing

November this upcoming week! Our theme for the month will be “Fall” our children be introduced to

Merrill This week at Merrill we started a new creative curriculum: Beginning

the Year. All of our classes took a deeper look at the question, what names do we need to know at school? We read the book A Pocket for

Corduroy which our students fell in love with this silly little bear. We talked about recognizing our names and the names of who works at

Merrill such as teacher, teacher aides, and site supervisor. We also carved pumpkins, talked

about harvest, and dressed like minions.

This next week we will be investigating the question: what should we do if we get sad or scared at school? We will be exploring what makes us sad, happy, or scared in our daily lives. We will read The Kissing Hand to talk about how missing someone can be tough for anyone.

Merrill is going to be shifting into the new month of November as well as the daylight saving time.

Preschool 1 - This we will continue our study of balls with a focus on what materials can make

up balls. We will read “The Doorbell Rang”, “A Birthday Basket for Tia”, and “Have a Ball”. For art, we will be working on ball creations using newspaper, towels, glue, water and balloons. To

practice our fine motor skills, we will be cutting out circles, counting and sorting grapes, decorate the letter I, and practicing lacing shapes. For nutrition, we will make grape Jell-O cups.

Preschool 2 – Fall will be our focus this week. We will discuss the change in the weather. Also

we will discuss how the season changes and the leaves fall. Preschool 3 - This week we will be talking about our family tree and gather what most like

about our families. Also we will discuss how are families spend time together
