Happy November! We have enjoyed celebrating fall and watching the changes around us. We have taken time to notice the changes in the mountains and trees over the last several weeks.
Our classroom library is a great resource for children to explore our monthly themes and topics as well as develop emergent reading skills such as turning pages, holding books correctly, and making up stories based on pictures in the book. We share in a read aloud each day as we continue to build these skills. We especially love listening to audio of books read by the author or another reader. This is a great time for the children to relax on the rug, listen to a story and either look at the pictures of the book or make up their own pictures in their head.
We will spend the month learning about Thanksgiving, what it means to be thankful, family, and continuing to decorate our classroom with the beautiful artwork of the students. These projects not only help us to learn about our monthly themes in a meaningful way but also promote readiness skills such as gluing, cutting, and motor planning.
This month, we will be bringing in some flavors of fall and Thanksgiving into our classroom as we try some recipes! This is a wonderful way to practice skills such as measuring and pouring as well as trying new flavors and textures. We will also get to share some of these recipes when we have our āFriendsgivingā lunch at school before Thanksgiving break.
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Wednesday, November 6th. This is a great opportunity to discuss your childās progress and address any concerns or questions that you may have. Both in person and virtual conferences are available. Please sign up for a conference on the sheet posted to the bulletin board near our classroom entrance door. Please note that our classroom is not in session on this day.
We hope that you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are so thankful for the time spent with your child each day.
All our best,
Michelle, Brandi & Helen
