Just a note
I hope everyone had a nice weekend and was able to enjoy this fall weather! We will be doing assessing this week and next preparing for Parent Conferences which are November 6^th.

I will have a sign-up sheet out this week for times, I will need to schedule some before class and some after class to fit everyone in.  I will be sending home a Conference Questionnaire, please turn these in before conferences so I can give any concerns or questions my full attention.  

Halloween Parties
Our Halloween Parties will be next Thursday & Friday.  We will have a sign up for items to bring this week.  The children are invited to dress up, we will parade through the classrooms and visit the grandma’s & grandpa’s across at Kindred.  We have a few games that we will play but always welcome more if you have any that you would like to bring and help out with.
 
This week in the Dragonfly Class
This week in the Dragonfly Class we are exploring pumpkins! We will be hammering golf tees into one pumpkin (a great fine motor skill), we will create pumpkins for our pumpkin patch, and we will investigate the inside of a pumpkin!  We are working on assessments this week as well but I want to assure you that this is low pressure, we frame it as a game and the kids are usually very excited about their turn.

Word Wall
The letter of the week is the letter Dd.  We encourage you to help your child find something that begins with the letter of the week.  This is a great way to get them thinking about beginning sounds and letter recognition.  The items your child brings in will be placed in a container until the last group time of the day where we will talk about the letter and sound. We will take turns sharing our items and then they will go home with them at the end of the day.
