Three’s Company

We’ve been busy practicing our Harvest Day songs we plan to sing to our parents on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Hope you can make it! You can stay with your child at drop off and we will sing a few songs beginning at 9:15. The sign up sheet for the Harvest Day party is up on the hallway bulletin board. If you haven’t already done so please sign up to bring one item to help us celebrate. Remember to check labels for any nuts or nut oil.

After our party the firemen will be visiting our school to teach us about fire safety. After pick up at the end of the day you are invited to take your child out to the fire truck parked in the Niagara Falls Blvd. parking lot.  It’s going to be a full day!

We met Orange and Black Crazy Color Creatures this week. I was going to save Black for this coming week but the children kept asking for him so out he came. Our songs go “Orange, orange ate a carrot, Crazy Color Creature” and “Black, Black lives in a shack, Crazy Color Creature.” Now, I know carrot does not rhyme with orange but he was pictured taking a bite of a carrot and since nothing really rhymes with orange we sang it.

We made an orange and black color page for our color books by dipping halved carrots and yams into orange paint and pressing them onto a black piece of paper. It sounded like construction workers were in our room with all the pounding. We also made Laura the Carrot from VeggieTales.

Please remember to take a few minutes this weekend to help your child pick pictures of food that he/she likes, cut them out and bring them to class on Monday/Tuesday. You can use grocery store fliers, magazines or whatever you can find. We will be making “I am thankful for… pumpkins.”

I am thankful that the sickness that has been prevalent around the local schools has not hit us. We have had near or perfect attendance all week. I pray we all continue to stay healthy.
