Dear Families,

Happy Halloween to everyone!!  We had a great day in the class and had a lot of fun.  Thank you to everyone who signed up to bring in items for our delicious snack!!  Thank you to Colby's Grandmother and Eli's Mom who helped in our class this morning.  Also, thank you to Tyler and Tanner's Grandmother who provided the pumpkins for our pumpkin patch.  We are so lucky to have great family members.   Thank you also to all the families that sent in treats for our treat backs.  We really appreciate your generosity.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 1st our class will attend school Mass in the auditorium at 8:15am.
If your student attends on Tuesday's, please try to have them at school by 8am.  We will use the bathroom and leave for mass shortly after that. Please have them wear their OLM t-shirt.

On Wednesday, We will begin our new theme, The city and the country.  We will have just over two weeks to get ready for our thanksgiving feast.  Our class will be making American Indian costumes and Mrs. Mary and Miss C's class will be pilgrims. 

Thank you,

Mrs. Veronica and Mrs. Romero

Dear Pre-K Families,

Thank you to all that were able to meet with me during parent teacher conferences.  It was very nice to be able to sit down with you.

This week we do not have a new alpha friend.  We are concluding our theme, My family, my Community.  We will use this week for review and we will be reviewing all the alpha friends that we have learned.  We will also be getting ready for Halloween and will be doing some fun Halloween activities in the class. 

This Saturday, OLM will have it's annual Halloween Carnival.  This is a great family event and all are welcome.  If you have not already purchased your wrist band, they are still available for $10.00.  The carnival committee has requested that each family please donate $2.00 and two bags of wrapped candy. 

There are many sign ups in the classroom.  Please see the area around the sign in sheet.
-We need volunteers to work at our cake walk booth
-We need volunteer bakers to donate cakes or baked goods

On Monday, October 31st (Halloween day) we will have a special Halloween treat in our classroom as well as a special pumpkin patch in our play yard so the children will be able to select their own pumpkin.  If you would like to volunteer in the classroom that day, please let me know.  (volunteers must be safe environment trained and fingerprinted)  There is also a sign up sheet on the wall for our special snack.  Thank you to those who have already signed up.  We are still in need of a few things, Salami, Tillamock cheddar cheese slices and marshmallow Halloween ghosts.  We will also be making treat bags in our classroom if you are interested in sending in a small treat for your child's classmates.  We have 29 Students.  Please remember that preschool students do not dress up in costumes on Halloween day at school.

*Classroom request- We will be in need of brown paper grocery bags.  If you have any at home and would like to share, please bring them in.

Thank you,

Mrs. Veronica and Mrs. Romero

Dear Families,
This week, we continued our theme, My Family, My Community.  We have been learning about neighborhoods, and talking about the street we live on.  I was excited to know that many of the children knew what street they live on.  Our Alpha friend this week has been Sammy Seal Ss.  We have been having a lot of fun with spiders this week because 'S is for Spider.'  We have had spiders on our light table, in our sand and water table, at our science table, spider patterns and we have even been making play dough spiders. 

Next week, we will have a very busy week. Our Alpha friend will be Pippa Pig Pp.  On Monday, we will have a visit from the Fire Department,  as we will be talking about fire safety and community helpers.  Tuesday, we will have picture re-takes and we will be making a large size rosary in the back circle of the school with chalk with our 5th grade buddies.  On Wednesday, the entire school will pray the rosary around it.  I will conducting Parent teacher conferences on Wednesday and Thursday.  I am really looking forward to meeting with you. 

As the Halloween carnival approaches, we are looking for many volunteers to help with the cake walk as well as bakers to donate baked goods.  Please see the sign ups posted in the classroom.  Each family is asked to donate 2 bags of wrapped candies and $2.00 Towards the carnival.   We will also be posting a sign up for a special Halloween snack for our class. 

We will have a special 'Pumpkin patch' at the preschool on Monday, October 31st.  Please remember that the preschool children do not dress up in costumes during the school day.

Thank you,
Mrs. Veronica and Mrs. Romero

Dear Families,

We have just finished up our theme about My Five Senses.  We had a lot of fun tasting apples, and feeling different textures on our sensory tray.  We used our nose to smell fun play dough, one week it was blue raspberry and then it was apple pie play dough.  We also had fun in our 'Apple Orchard' play house.  I introduced the class to a light table where they could see different colored stones as the light shined up through them.  Last week we had a lot of fun with a few books by the author Herve Tullet one was called PRESS HERE and the other was called MIX IT UP.  Both were great books and the children had a lot of fun with dots and mixing colors. 

Our new theme is 'My Family, My Community.'  This week we will focus on families, and the Holy Family.  We will also be learning about St. Francis.  There will be a school mass on Friday and blessing of the animals.  All are welcome to join and accompany your pet to be blessed.  Preschool will not be able to attend as a class as it will be going on during our lunch time. 

October is the month of the Rosary.  We are learning about the rosary and later in the month our class will create a large chalk rosary in the back circle with our 5th grade reading buddies.  The entire school will pray the rosary in the back of the school circle. 

October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month and our school store will be selling a lot of pink OLM things to support breast cancer awareness.  You will be seeing a lot of pink around the school.

Our Alpha friend is Iggy Iguana Ii this week.  We will be finishing up our last show and tell on Tuesday.  thank you all so much for doing the Paw Print project.  The children have been doing an amazing job at talking about themselves. 

Parent Teacher conferences will take place on Wednesday, 10/19 and Thursday, 10/20.  A sign up is located in the class room.  I look forward to meeting with each of you.  There is also a sign up for the Halloween Carnival.  The preschool is always in charge of the cake walk.  We will need many volunteers to work our booth, set up/take down and donate baked goodies.  There will be a room parent meeting on Tuesday at 6:30 to discuss.

If you have any question, please contact us.

Thank you,
Mrs. Veronica and Mrs. Romero
