Preschool November 2013 Newsletter

October came and went quickly!   It was so nice to hear from your children about what they did and where they went over their vacation. All of the children were very excited this month for Halloween!  We read many Halloween books and made Halloween crafts!  It was nice seeing some of the parents again during our Halloween Carnival. We have been working very hard to master our uppercase letters and I have been impressed by the improvements the students have made.  We have also been working very hard on counting to 20 and speaking in full sentences

I look forward to seeing all of you again this month for parent teacher conferences!  

If you have not yet set a date and time please do so as soon as possible.

Class Updates

Homework will now be going home daily.  Some days there will be one page and some days there will be two pages.  If you ever have any questions on the homework or guided reading books please do not hesitate to contact me.  I am here to support your child’s educational growth so if there are questions or concerns I am more than happy to take the time to speak with you about them. 

Aston and Jules really enjoyed helping to retell some of the stories we had read during Thursday English class when we were reading them in the preschool room.  It was great seeing so many students excited when new song posters came out and asking what the songs were! Ann has such beautiful handwriting when writing her name and can even write other words too!  Aston, Lisa, and Jules have done a great job learning the words to our Christmas song.  Riku has begun looking for new things on the playground to show to everyone that he possibly can and Kai did an outstanding job creating and finishing patterns! Both Nanding and Lucas did an amazing job with show and tell on favourite book day.  They both retold the whole story with no help!

             During November we will start one of two Interest based projects.  The first will be on Maps and the second on Dinosaurs.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

You better watch out

You better not cry

Better not pout

I’m telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

He’s making a list

And checking it twice

Gonna find out Who’s naughty or nice

Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you’re sleeping

He knows when you’re awake

He knows if you’ve been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake!

Oh! You better watch out!

You better not cry

Better not pout

I’m telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town
