Last week was national "Take Me Outside" Week. We decided to have some outside fun. On Monday and Tuesday we enjoyed taking nature walks around the school yard. We found some really cool things right in our own school yard! Wednesday and Thursday we worked on some of our fine and gross motor skills by spending some time outside drawing with sidewalk chalk.
Halloween Fine Motor Tasks
This week we worked on strengthening that all important pincer grasp by gluing Halloween candies onto the first letter of our name. On Thursday the children also enjoyed a friendly vocabulary developing game of Halloween Bingo.
Picture Palooza!
I finally have the green light to post pictures from our classroom. I have went back through my blog and posted pictures throughout. I hope you enjoy seeing first hand some of the fun we have in this room!
Please note - if you have not signed your child's FOIP form, or if you did not give consent on your child's FOIP form, then I am unable to post pictures of your child on my blog. Feel free to contact myself or Cheryl and Maureen in the office if you are unsure or require further clarification.
Christmas Card Fundraiser
Robina Baker School does a really cool fundraiser. Each child makes a unique piece of art work that you can order to be printed on Christmas cards. I will be sending the fundraiser information home next week. We are almost done making our cards - they are so cute! I will email pictures of the art work, as well as post pictures on my blog as soon as we are done so that you can have a preview of what your child's cards will look like.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require further clarification about this fundraiser. You have no obligation to order cards if you are not interested.
Halloween Party
We will be having our Halloween Parties on Tuesday, October 31st. Our Monday/Wednesday students are welcome to join us for the parties (during their regular scheduled time slot).
The children are welcome to dress up for the day. I have asked certain parents to send snacks for the party, so you do not need to send snacks with your child for this day unless you think your child will not eat our party food.
Our morning class will participate in the Halloween Parade at 9:00 am. Our afternoon class will be having their own Halloween Parade at 12:45 pm. All parents and families are welcome to come watch the parades!
Pajama Day
We will kick off our Bears unit on Thursday, November 2nd as well as Monday, November 6th by having a bring a bear and wear your pajamas to school day.
Your child is welcome to wear their pajamas and bring their favorite bear to school on these days!
