Fall Fun

Fall fun is just beginning as the school year gets into full swing! September pictures went very smoothly and we can't wait to see the results of all those happy smiling children being photographed! Back by popular demand, our Fall Fund raiser with Midland products will run from the 16th through the 30th. As always the proceeds will go directly back into the classrooms, giving the teachers the opportunity to purchase those extra special learning toys for the children to enjoy. On the 2nd of October the children in the Pre-K and Kindergarten classrooms will be taking a road trip to Battleview Orchards for apple and pumpkin picking. The month will end with all the children having halloween fun on the 31st with the annual parade for the Preschool through Kindergarten classes and indoor parties for all! As always, enjoy the wonderful fall weather!

Charlie and Mason have fun on our walks in the baby buggy. Brayden enjoys getting his snuggles. Spencer loves hanging out in the exersaucer. Brady is having fun throwing the ball around. Andrew loves giving hugs to teddy bears. Nathaniel looks so cute holding his little beanie baby. Camryn brightens everybody's day with her big smiles.

The month of September, the children had fun learning about each other as well as learning a little bit about themselves. Robert, Victoria and Cooper got to make hand prints in clay.

Wonderful Whales

September was a wonderful month full of meeting new friends, welcoming back old ones and learning new things. We spent our days learning about how special we are, talking about our favorite things, how great our families are and the fun we have with them. We especially enjoyed exploring "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". We look forward to an adventurous October where we will learn about safety, eating out shop keepers and Autumn fun. We would like to wish Richard and Miss Kim a happy birthday! For the health and safety of our room please make sure your child always has 2 sets of clothing in their cubbies.

Thank You,

Super Seals

We have so many wonderful new friends in our classroom. The transition process was such a success; it is such a great joy to see everyone join us each day with such enthusiasm. Throughout the month of September we had the opportunity to learn all about our friends and families. The children have learned that they share many similarities with their friends which has allowed them to form relationships with ease. We hope everyone is ready for October because we will not only be busy learning but we will have many visitors for our "Safety Rules" week. As the colors in our room change so will the season allowing us to end the month with our "Autumn Fun Week". We will be exploring many leaves and their beautiful colors and we will also learn to mix colors to create"Orange". Happy Birthday to Sean on 10/21 and James on 10/25.

We will be exploring all the beautiful leaves and their colors as well. We are sad to good-bye to Travis, however we are happy and excited to welcome Miss Phyllis back. Please remember to write down your child's lunch on the lunch sheet which is provided by the baskets. If your child needs a spoon or a fork please be sure to supply it in your child's lunch.

Marvelous Manatee

What a month we've had in room 7! The summer weather is slipping away and it's beginning to look and feel like fall. We started off our school year by getting to know all of our new and old friends here at The Goddard School. During our "I Am Special" week, we learned that each and every marvelous manatee in our room is different in some way, but that we can all be friends. "My Favorite Things" week helped us get to know one another even better. We expressed some of our favorite things through discussions, drawings and even personal photos. During "Family Fun" week, we were able to talk about how important all our families are to us and the fun things we do with them. We brought our month to a close with a week of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". We played games that allowed us to recognize different parts of our bodies and explored our five senses through various activities. As we approach October, we are looking forward to another great month of watching th Marvelous Manatees grow as learners. Our theme for this month is "Community Helpers". We are excited to begin the month with a field trip to go pumpkin picking! Throughout the unit we will explore various ways people work to build and maintain a safe and healthy community.

Thank You

Recognition of names, addresses, phone numbers, colors, shapes and numbers are developed through various games, manipulative and the use of flannel board. Each week they are introduced to a new letter and it's source sound. Our four-year-olds especially enjoy meeting our letter puppet that helps act out our story of the week.
