Theme- Our theme for the next few weeks is “Fall”. We will be reading several books about the theme Fall. One book we will be reading is ” The Little Old Lady Who was Not Afraid of Anything”. You can find this book at the local library or Barnes and Nobles.

Vocabulary- Some words you can focus on at home with your child are:

fall, leave,s trees, red, orange, brown, windy, jacket

 Book bag checks- Please remember to check your child’s book bag daily and take out all papers sent home.

 Change of clothes Since the weather has changed, we are asking all parents to send in a change of clothes that fit the season. Most of the students have shorts and short sleeve shirts, which can cause them to get ill.

 Snacks- We have snack every afternoon for our full day students. Please send a healthy snack with your child if you would like him/her to eat snack with their peers. (We are a sugar-free school so no candy please.)

 Question of the week: How can I teach my child colors?

There are many things you can do with your children at home to teach them colors. You can have them sort their socks, shirts, hats into same  pile according to color; you can always use the color of an article when they are getting dressed such as “Give me your red shirt “or “You are wearing  a green shirt today”. When you are driving around or walking around you can point out all the blue cars. You can also describe things around you by using color.

Question of the week: How can I get my child to start counting?

Well if you are walking on the stairs at home just start counting as you go up and down the stairs everyday. You can count how many nuggets they are eating for lunch, count how many chips or fruit snacks you give for a snack or count the number of toys they are palying with at home. Even if they are not counting with you at first, they will start eventually. Just keep at it. Be creative and have fun while they learn.
