Sunday November 12th-good morning-brrrrr! I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend-I know I did. So, the turkey activities will begin this week! The morning class will be practicing colors and some independent work with a color turkey project and will also be doing some color matching with silly colorful turkeys. Tomorrow is "H Day" for the afternoon class. And we will also begin practicing making the number 4. All of the letters and numbers we've been working on so far all have started on the left with a "big line" straight down. Now we'll explore letters and numbers that have lines down in the mmiddle. Wednesday is "I Day". I is for indian corn! That will be a fun project. I hope you've all read the information about the evacuation drills scheduled for Thursday. In the morning we're going at 8:30 and it's apt to be quite cold. Please, please be sure your child is dressed appropriately to be outside. I will be grabbing coats as quickly as possible but will not be able to do hats or mittens. Make sure footwear is appropriate for a long walk. Thanks. We will also practice with the afternoon class at 12:00, with afternoon Kindergarten. When I talk to the children about an evacuation drill, I usually talk about something smelly or spilled in the school that we need to get away from. I DO NOT talk about intruders or anything scary like that. The kids usually see it as an adventure. Reminder: as the weather gets colder and we need to start wearing boots and/or snowsuits, the MORNING class will only go outside on THURSDAY and the AFTERNOON class will only go outside on TUESDAY!!! For now, we'll continue to try to squeeze in outside time whenever we can. Remnder: there is no AFTERNOON preschool on Wednesday Nov. 22nd, as it is an early release day for the whole school. There WILL BE morning preschool that day and there is NO SCHOOL for anyone on Friday the 24th. Mrs. Dana and I will be gone to a conference tomorrow and Tuesday- hopefully learning something!:)))) Mrs. Kearns will be there with Miss Lisa and Miss Katie,so everything should go on without a hitch! I can't wait to see everyone on Wednesday! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and have a great week! Robin
