What a GREAT Fire Prevention Week we had! I think the Polar Bears really thought it was funny when I had to dress like a firefighter! I don't think I should quit my day job anytime soon! haha!
I want to tell all the moms and dads how perfect your children were during the fireman's talk about how to keep safe from fire accidents as well as teaching the children about fire safety. Your children were wonderful! A huge thanks goes out to Lt. Darby Rehbeck, the Newark firefighter who came into our classroom as our community helper as well as led the fire station tour for the Polar Bears. Thanks Darby!
DEVINE PUMPKIN PATCH:
Monday October 15th, the Penguin and Polar Bear classes will have their pumpkin picking day!We go rain or shine. Looking at the forecast, it looks like cool and clear...but then again it is Ohio...bring the umbrellas just in case! Please dress your little person for the weather. Also, please have your child bring a snack and drink as well will have a place to break for a snack.
Penguin class- Please have your child to the pumpkin patch between 8:45 and 9 am. We will end our time at 11:00.
Polar Bear class- Please have your child to the pumpkin patch between 12:15 and 12:30. We will end our time at 2:30. Elementary parents are more than welcome to leave as appropriate in order to be able to pick your school age child.
BOTH classes will drop off and pick up at DEVINE ()not the school) on Monday.
PICTURES for Penguins and Polar Bears- This Friday:
The Penguins and Polar Bears will have their picture day this Friday. We will have pictures done during each class session. The Seals will have their pictures done in November. (Due to a scheduling conflict with the picture company, we had to schedule the Seals a bit later.) If you are in need of a new picture brochure, please let me know.Pick Up Procedure:
On Friday, I was made aware of an assult that happened close to our school campus a couple days prior. I have made a decision to slight tweak our pick up procedure a bit for safety reasons. We will keep the children inside the school (upper hallway) and escort the children one by one to their vehicles. It may take a bit more time but safety is our utmost priority.Concluding Thoughts:
I am very happy with the progress I am seeing the students make with their fine motor work. We will continue to work with the children on various fine motor activities but we will start expanding into more phonic and literacy work as well as math number sense.
May your week be a very blessed one. God bless.
