A few notes:
-Conference slips have gone home and you should have received an email from me as well.  Many of you have signed up.  Please let me know if you'd like a conference.

-Scholastic book club flyers have been sent home.  It's a great way to get Christmas gifts for all the children in your family.  There is a link in this blog to order.  The Pete the Cat books are always a favorite of preschoolers.

-Ms. Janie is coming back on the 19th! We are so excited.

-Ms. Sandy is doing her lead teaching project this week meaning she has done the lesson planning and will run our group times and transitions throughout the day.  She has set the classroom up for learning all about pizza.  Pizza is a fun theme as we can incorporate so many different things such as learning about shapes, parts to a whole, the letter "P", and so on.  We will taste test toppings and graph the results.  One of my favorite parts about preschool is that we are learning all day long but the learning is so much fun and natural.

-October was a busy  month.  Check out our pictures below.

The fire department visited our Wed/Friday class in October. 

We acted out the spooky walk with our Tues/Thursday class.  Here is Collin crawling through the "grass."

Feeling the "cold and slimy" in the cave.

"Rattling bones and ghostly moans."

Couldn't get enough of the cold and slimy.

Happy 5th Birthday, Kyle!

Happy 4th Birthday, James!

We carved a pumpkin on the morning of our Halloween party!  Ryan enjoyed it!

This is Noah and our Tap-it.  The Tap-it is an interactive device similar to a smart board but designed specifically for various levels of competence.  We really enjoy the website starfall.com.
