Wow-Another gorgeous week of fall weather!

We have been fortunate to enjoy the outdoors this week. From looking for leaves changing colours to exploring our outdoor spaces at school, we have really enjoyed the warm temperatures.

Giving Thanks/Gratitude

This week many of the lessons focused on “being grateful” for the people, things, places, and nature in our lives.

We brainstormed, wrote about, and created with these ideas.

After learning Raffi’s song “Thanks A Lot”, we created this beautiful bulletin board display. The song can be found at

THANKS A LOT

Noisy play and quiet play

The children have opportunities to choose where they want to play. There are places dedicated to more peaceful, calming activities like sensory trays (as seen in the photos) and places dedicated to more active, noisy play like big blocks and marbleworks.

Songs and Poems

Your child has brought home a yellow sheet with the lyrics for 2 songs that they have learned titled “Hello Mr. Turkey” and “Thanks a lot”. I hope they are able to sing these for you.

Birthdays

I try to remember to write students’ birthdays on the calendar that I send home but this month, I forgot to add Michaela’s birthday on Oct. 12! Please add Michaela’s name to the calendar so we can all wish her a special day next week.

That being said, we celebrate birthdays in the classroom by singing Happy Birthday and the the student receives a prize. Please do not send treats and goodie bags for the birthday child to hand out at school. Thank you!

Reminder:

School is closed on Monday Oct. 10 for Thanksgiving.

I wish you a lovely long weekend full of family time and gratitude.

Happy Thanksgiving!
