Week of 10/12/09 - 10/16/09

THEME: FIRE SAFETY

Hello, all! This is one of my favorite themes as the kids really love it. This week we will be painting fire trucks in Art, playing in a pretend fire station in Dramatic Play (equipped with a "real" fire truck courtesy of Mr. Newton - he changed the bear cave into a fire truck), playing with Rescue Heroes and rescue vehicles, adding spots to a dalmation and counting them. We will also learn about "Stop, Drop, and Roll" and how to crawl under smoke. We will learn about our first vowel, the letter E. In Religion we will hear the story of "The Perfect Beach" and learn that we are called to care for all of God's creation.

Wed. Oct 14 - Picture Retakes
Thurs. Oct 15 - I will be attending an early childhood conference and Mrs. Lisa Bierig will be filling in for me.
Fri. Oct 16 - Speech Screenings

FUN DAY ALERT! Fun Day is just around the corner - Sunday Oct 25 from 2:00 - 5:00. This is our annual all-school Halloween celebration. Please sign up to work in our class booth. The sign-in sheet will be in our classroom and/or you can contact Becky Ripp (Holden's mom) with any questions. Hope everyone can make it - it's really a lot of fun.
