This month is going to be a busy one and starting next week we will be celebrating Mother's Mary's birthday. We are  working on discussing about our family's, talking about how blessed we are to have our families. We will continue to work on counting 1-10, our 5 senses, color green and the shape square.
     We are starting our Clifford curriculum this week. I really enjoy this curriculum and the children learn so much! These next 2 weeks will be about apples! Red, green, and yellow apples. We will use our 5 senses to hear how crunchy they are, smell the sweetness of the apples, our eyes for the different colors apples have, feel the texture of the apples, and of course taste the sweet or sour of the apples! I would really like every child to please bring 3 apples each!
     In October we will be discussing Saint Francis of Assisi. Saint Francis of Assisi believed in blessings of all animals, I would like to do a class project with photos of our family pets. If you can please send a picture of your pets, it can either be just a photo of your pet or a photo with your child and pet.

    I also wanted to send out a friendly thought, it is very normal for children to have separation when getting dropped off in the morning, the best thing you can do is reassure your child that our families always come back, a nice big hug and let your child know you will see them soon! I do know it's hard to leave when your child is crying but please be assured, I have a quiet area for the children when they are needing that extra time and space and I am also reminding them that their families always come back. It's usually a quick process and the children bounce right back into routine. Please do not hesitate to call if you would like to check in and see how your child is doing afterwards.
     Thank you to all our families for the supplies for the classroom and the snack sign ups. I am truly grateful for everything!

God Bless You All,

Mrs. Irma
