October News
The month of October has zoomed by! You all have such great kids! I have enjoyed being a part of their learning process. It is exciting to see their enthusiasm when we play a new game or watch them as they soak in new information. However my greatest enjoyment has been from watching how they interact with eachother. If you will allow me to be a little bit sappy I just wanted to thank you for intrusting me with your children. Twice this week I noticed every child's eyes on me as I tried to handle certain situations. They were very interested in how I would react and what I would do. Seeing 8 sets of little eyes staring at me humbles me a great deal. I know that teaching is more than just learning the ABC's. I know that at your child's age they are building a foundation of values that they will continue to build upon for many years. I pray that I will be the type of person your child deserves to learn from!
OK enough sappy stuff!! This week has brought us up to letter H. We have also been working on Primary colors this month. We have been learning how to make different colors by mixing paint. I have discovered that your children love Nursery rhymes! I think their favorite has been Hey Diddle Diddle. However they were very fascinated with Baa Baa Black Sheep. (We discussed what the wool from the sheep is used for.)
Thank you for coming to our Halloween Party! It was a little bit chaotic towards the end but I think the kids had a great time. They all looked great in their costumes.
We are working on using the proper grip when writing and coloring. Try to reinforce that at home as well. Also continue to let your kids try and cut paper (with blunt scissors). They really enjoy using scissors.
