Hello TK Families,

The Season of Autumn/Fall is here and I can't believe we are now in the month of October. I love this time of year! The air gets cooler and the leaves on the trees change color and fall. However, the season is about much more than the change in the leaves. It actually presents several opportunities for learning. Fall is always exciting in my classroom! Students are excited and interested in all the changes that are occurring outside (not to mention that Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day is just around the corner).

This Week:

Letter G

Review numbers 1-5

Fall words and activities

Our Lady of the Rosary

Name Recognition/Writing Practice & Activities

"Our 5 Senses" Curriculum

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Mini book and Story Sequencing

And much more....

***These last couple weeks our science curriculum has been all about "What Plants and Animals Need to Live". In addition, the kids have been learning about the parts of an apple and its life cycle. Starting this week, we will focus on the life cycle of a pumpkin and its parts.

Not only will this field trip be educational for the class, but they will have tons of fun! Borchard Farms has small $4.00 pumpkins for sale, corn and hay mazes, small slides, and farm birds for the kids to visit. We will also be sitting down at picnic tables with our packed lunches. This field trip will be with the 1st grade class and Mrs. Settles.

Remember if you are interested in chaperoning and driving for field trips please complete your TB testing, Virtus, fingerprinting, and give a copy of your driver's license and insurance to the office.

Wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

God Bless,,

Mrs. Enright
