This year has been amazing!  I know I have already told you but I have to say it again.  You kids are sooo wonderful!!  I love both of my classes so much!! 

We have had so much fun with our science this year.  This week we learned more about smell.  We smelled all kinds of things some smelled good some were yucky.  It was so fun to watch their faces.  Last week we also learned a lot about apples.  We learned how they grow and learned that there are different colors.  We tasted red, green, yellow and red/yellow apples (gala) apples and learned that they all have different flavors.   We made a graph on what apples they liked best and talked about the numbers.  We then all made predictions of what would happen if we left them out.  It was fun to hear their predictions.  Next week we are going to learn more about balloons.  What fills them up?  What will happen if I let go? I will also let them guide some of our learning with the balloons?  We will try to have them come up with questions of their own and try to discover answers to their questions.  Most of the science is with my 4yr. old class.  I try to get to it in the 3 yr. class but we don’t always have time for it. L  Some days I may abandon my science plans if they come up with a question of their own and we are able to explore their question.   I want them to become thinkers and want to explore and figure out questions.

Sorry, I have sent it out late the October Calendar late. I forgot to send it out.  I will try to get them out earlier from now on.    We do not have school on Oct. 15th due to fall break.  On Oct. 29th we will have our Halloween Party.  Your child may wear their costume to school.  The party will be during the last hour of class.  If you would like to come help out I always love helpers.  Please let me know if you plan on helping out.  I plan the parties based on how many helpers I have.   The kids are always way excited and full of energy for parties, but we always have a lot of fun.  I will place a sign up paper on my door about a week before the party for prizes and our snack.

If you ever want to observe the class feel free to come in and watch.  Then you will know what they are singing.   Parents are always welcome.  Just remember most children behave different when parents are present. 

For show and tell have your child bring things that begin with the letter we are learning that week.  I have been really good to talk about the sounds of the words.

I have been sending extra worksheets home with my 4yr. old class.  They are extra copies I made and we can not get to all of them in class.  Some weeks you may get an extra one.  Sometimes we will practice our writing on lap boards or lined magna doodles.  Take the time and practice them with your child.  Encourage them to hold their pencil correctly and write the letters from the top down.  If you not sure how they need to hold it come talk to me and I will show you.  Now is the time for them to form the habit properly.  I always tell them to hold the pencil with their alligator fingers near the tip of the pencil.

Thank you for letting me teach your children.
