Dear families,

This is the last week of our Families Unit!  We will be finishing up our unit activities and doing some fun Halloween activities.  We planted pumpkin seeds a few weeks ago, and learned about how we take care of things to make them grow, so we'll check on Halloween to see if our pumpkins grew.  This week we will be reading Big Pumpkin, The Little Old Lady who was not afraid of Anything, and Corduroy.  



Monday          OT group, Speech group
Tuesday         Matching numbers to quantity, 5 little pumpkins activity
Wednesday   Decorating pumpkins (if they grow) ; )  matching rhyming 
                        pictures
Thursday        Exploring changing leaves, creating clothes for corduroy
Friday            Speech group, Daily Living Skills group

A few things:

• Please remember to send your child to school in appropriate clothing; including a winter coat every day, and hat, gloves, and boots when applicable.  We go outside first thing in the morning so, even though it may get warmer later on in the day, it's still pretty cold when we are out there.  
• Wednesday is Halloween, and the Burlington Early Childhood Center is having a pajama party, so please send your child to school in their pajamas to celebrate!  
• Sign language is a big part of our classroom.  Please check out our new sign language blog (click on the tab at the top of the page) to learn about how, when, and why we use sign language in the classroom.
