Dear Parents,

I hope everyone had an awesome weekend. All the children have settled into routine quickly. They did really well and had a fun time on our get to know your Prayer Pal Day. They loved racing their Prayer Pals in the gym, making snack with them, and doing Get to Know Me Activities. Some were a little scared at Church but were all very well behaved, you should be very proud of them.

Thanks for all the generous donations of snacks and a special thanks to Titus Family's donation of Kinetic Sand, the children loved it. Also, thanks for the use of your family pictures, they will be displayed on our Bulletin Board. Later in the year each child will have a turn to display their pictures, so whenever you would like to send in some pictures of your child doing things they enjoy and with their family. I will keep them until it is their turn.

So that you may get it on your calendars I wanted to let you know that we are planning a Field Trip on December 8^th, more details will follow in the future.

Here are some of the things that will keep us busy this week:

Reading: We will sing along with “We are the Alphabet”, “Monster Truck ABCs”, and the “ABC Collection” on the Smart Board. Our main Letter will be Letter A with our themes Apples, Ants, and Airplanes.

Math: We will sort apples, find the star in the middle, and taste and graph. We will be learning the Stella Star Song, finding stars, and drawing stars. Also this week we will be practicing cutting. Whenever you get a chance it is great to let your child practice cutting with a scissors.

S.S./Science: We will do “My Big World, How Does an Apple Grow?”, watch video about life cycle of an apple, learn about ants, enjoy Show-N-Tell, and Letter Bag.

Religion: We will be Reading about the Story of the Creation, learning songs and watching videos about Creation, working on our prayers, and going to Mass.

Craft: Make hand print apples, paint “God made Night” and “God Made Day” pictures, Find animal stickers and pictures for “God Made the Animals”, make tissue paper fish, and airplane pictures.

Story Time: We will be enjoying: “I Can't Said the Ant”, “What Makes Day and Night?”, “A Was Once an Apple Pie?”, “Under the Apple Tree”, “Apples A to Z”, “The Adventures of Abby Alligator”, and “Pickin Apples”.

 

You should find fliers to order Scholastic Books in your child's folder, you may order online or by sending back in with a check. The Due Date is Tuesday September 6^th. If you ever have questions or concerns please don't hesitate to call. Hope to see you all at the picnic.

God Bless!
