Calendars

It is extremely important to hand your monthly calendars in on time.  We need to be able to schedule staff and lunches according to the number of children we have.  If your calendar is late, we cannot guarantee that a space will be available for your child to attend.  Thanks for your help

We are open on Remembrance Day – November 11.   We will hold a minute of silence with our older classes at 11:00.

NOVEMBER FOCUS: MY BODY

TODDLER TIDBITS

 

The month of November will be busy as the Toddlers learn all about their bodies.

 

We would like to welcome Carson, Kaelin, Jenna and Hailie to our room and say good-bye to Cole and Quinn as they become preschoolers.

PRESCHOOL POINTS

 

This month our focus will be our body, feelings, senses, and healthy eating. Don’t forget to check your calendar, goal sheets, and program plans to see what the preschoolers are doing.

 

Happy Birthday Clara on November 5.

 

We’ll be going to the manor on November 24 to sing.

 

We will walk to the grocery store to buy fruit to make a fruit salad. Sherry & Connie

 

SCHOOL AGE SCOOP - S.C.C.C.

 

For November the High Five kids will be exploring the different bones in our bodies and learning fun body measurement facts.  We will look at the Guinness World Record book for longest toes, nails, and fun facts.  Last but not least we will do some body tracings.

SCHOOL AGE SCOOP – ST. JAMES

   

For the month of November we will be working on

activities related to our bodies.  We will be learning

some basic anatomy, making a body band and doing

some face pencil sketching.  As a reminder, we have a

P.A. Day coming up Friday, November 7.  We are going

to be having a Mission Impossible Day so please make

sure your child wears dark or black clothing and if they

have a flashlight please send it along.  Thanks,

BEST START BUSINESS - SCCC

 

What a wonderful time of year.  So much to explore inside and outside. (Please bring a change of clothes even for the JK/SK’s)  We will continue Second Step Anti-Violence Program.  The children are enjoying Jolly Phonics.  This month we will focus on the letters Hh, Rr, Mm, and Dd.  Our classroom is in need of some toys cars, felt (square) and pom poms.  If anyone can help out it would be greatly appreciated.  Ask your child what number our caterpillar is at – come take a look!    Paula

BEST START BUSINESS –ST. JAMES

 

The Best Start program was successfully re-licensed last month.  They will continue to work on Jolly Phonics – now with letters Hh, Rr, Mm, and Dd.  The math goal for the month is working on measuring quantities.   The Best Start class has been invited down to the Kindergarten classroom on several occasions to cook with Mrs. Kramers and the other Kindergarten children.  This has been a real treat!

Please remember to hand your calendars in on time so that we can arrange for your child’s care.

 

We were successfully re-licensed and are looking into other opportunities to sustain the program.
