Hello Yellow Duck Families,
What a busy week we’ve had! Each center is filled with Ducks taking turns building, creating, and thinking. Geometric rubber band boards made some interesting shapes. Scissors worked hands and fingers in our sensory bin filled with natural materials. Peg art boards had to be twisted and squeezed to make a duck, butterfly, or flower. Crayon rocks that encourage proper hand grip are in our writing center, and tempera paint sticks have made some beautiful art.
On Wednesday, Chapel started and we can now connect our brief bible readings in our classroom with our time with Pastor Lee! On Thursday, we enjoyed Music and Movement with Ms. Vicki. We moved and grooved for thirty minutes using our voices, bodies, and some instruments. There is never a dull moment at CCP!
LUNCH BUNCH - Next Monday, September 23rd, will be our first Lunch Bunch day. If your child will be staying with us on Mondays and Wednesdays for lunch, please remember to send in both a nut/sesame-free snack and a lunch. We have found that keeping the snack labeled as such, helps your child and us to know which is which. We will have lunch during this time much the same as we do our snack. Pick-up time will be an hour later at 1:00. If your child isn’t ready for lunch bunch (some may not be ready to stay longer and that’s ok), maybe try later in the year to start.
ART - Next week, we will come together to create a large collaborative art project. We’d love for you to collect a few leaves with your child and send them in to help with this creation. It will also involve paint. So, be sure to as always, send your Duck in clothing that can get messy!
CONFERENCES take place on October 9th & 10th. Each sign-up slot will be 30 minutes. Ms. Carina and Ms. Melissa will be in the classroom with the children, and and I will be meeting with you. We will let you know more details as we get closer to our conference days. I look forward to chatting with you about your children! Here is the link to the sign-up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080B4CAEAA2DA5F94-51503242-fall I will send you an email with the link as well.
LOOKING AHEAD…. We will have individual photos taken on October 15 & 16. The photos will be outdoors under the bell tower. We handle it all at school - you don’t have to be present. You will be sent a link to view the photos and to purchase them (optional.) The photographer, David Gellately, will also offer family photos on Saturday, Oct. 19. Debbie sent an email with more details & a link for you to sign up for family photos, but you can also see the sign up here.
Friends at school are the BEST!
Enjoy some drier days this weekend!
Peace,
Ms. Shelly & Ms. Carina
