center-58514000October 2019 NewsletterOctober’s themeThis month our theme is Down on the Farm. In the Farm Unit, we will be learning about animals on the farm, and we will talk about things that grow on farms. We will also be concentrating on COLORS seen on the farm. We will be painting with corn, counting kernels of corn and having delicious farm inspired snacks. We’re going to have some good old country time fun! Medical Forms NeededPLEASE make sure to turn in all medical forms as soon as possible. We are required by state licensing laws to have these forms on file. Fire and Tornado DrillsWe had our first fire drill and tornado drill. We are required to practice a fire drill each month and a tornado drill for the first three months. One of the teachers sets off the smoke alarm and the children line up and go to the entrance of our school. We did a great job getting to the lobby quickly and safely. Tornado drills have the children go to the basement with their teachers. All went smoothly. Winter ClothesPlease help us identify your child’s coat, hat, boots and mittens by putting your child’s name or initials on the inside label. With the change in seasons and outerwear, some children cannot recognize their new coat and some children own the same style coat, which makes it more confusing for the children and the teachers. Thank you. Change of ClothesPlease bring a change of clothing, appropriate for the weather to leave at school. Many students have shorts and short sleeved tee shirts as their extra clothing. Parent Teacher ConferencesLook for the sign-up sheet outside your child’s classroom for dates and times your child’s teacher will be available. Conferences will be during the week of October 21st-23rd. Corn, Sunflowers, Gourds, and PumpkinsWe are in need of some dry corn on the cob, sunflowers, gourds, and pumpkins for our fall celebration in our classrooms. Please see your child’s teacher if you have any questions. Brown paper bagsWe are in need of brown grocery bags for our upcoming projects. If you have any, please bring them in as soon as possible. We would so appreciate them.Scholastic Book Orders due October 11thThere is no tax and no shipping charges on these orders Also, our school gets one bonus point for every dollar spent on the orders. We use these bonus points to get free materials for our classrooms, such as puzzles, big books, puppets, hardcover books, cassettes, ect. You and your child can enjoy the items you order at home and your child will have fun with the materials we order using the bonus points here at school. Please write our checks directly to Scholastic.Substitute teachersWe are in need of some new substitute teachers! Please see any of the teachers for more information if you are interested, we would love to have you! A Word from our Teachers “Howdy Folks! October is here and that brings Mrs. Pum’s class down on the farm. This month we will be working on our colors, letters and numbers while having fun around the farm. Some special fun will be milking a cow, playing with pumpkins, and singing to some favorite country tunes! It is bound to be a great time!” –Mrs. Pum“My class will be sponge painting leaves, making pink paper plate pigs, marble painting acorns and feather painting owls. Please feel free to come in the room when dropping off and look at all the art projects decorating the room. We have started working on the alphabet with both writing it and learning the sounds that each letter makes. Red, orange, yellow, green and brown are some of our favorite fall colors!” –Mrs. DornOctober Special SnacksThey will be mixing red and yellow frosting on a leaf cookie on October 3, enjoying ice cream on October 10, and tasting different types of cheese on October 17. Farm Breakfast is Thursday, October 31st. Just a few notes:When bringing snack, we need enough for 40 children, but the portions should be child sized. For example, ? a string cheese is perfect, and half the serving size on the side of whatever box is good. Also, check the snack calendar on the parent board for ideas on snacks and to see what has already been brought in. Snow is coming and Winter Clothes will be needed soon! School starts at 8:25am, watch for the Noah’s Ark Flag in the window! If your child is sick, make sure to call the office at 262-767-9095 to let their teacher know! Also, call and let us know if there is a change in pick up plan so we can accommodate everyone’s different needs.Happy Fall!The Teachers of Noah’s Arkcenter23036400 ................
