We had a great field trip to the Theatricum Botanicum on Friday and I would like to thank all of the parent volunteers who helped chaperone and keep the children safe and engaged during the day.  We had so much fun watching the performance and the children all learned a lot of theater skills during the day as they rotated through different learning stations.  It was fun watching the performances at the end of the day as the children showed their newly learned skills.

I hope you all enjoyed the Halloween Carnival and I was happy to see many of you there! A big thank you to Camilo's family for the amazing booth celebrating Día de los Muertos.  It was lovely and especially meaningful to me this year.  Thank you to those of you who helped work in the booth as well.  I uploaded a few pictures to our Shutterfly site.

We are incorporating Halloween art, stories and learning Halloween songs to add fun to our day and to celebrate a time of year so many of the children love and look forward to.

This week we will meet Mr. H and his Happy Hair!  During language arts time we will practice writing the letters, think of words that begin with the sound, practice handwriting in our Handwriting Without Tears book, work in our rhyming books and Alphabet Journal..

During math we will complete our #8 book and our October Math Journal..

We are continuing to work on social skills with our Second Step lessons, reading and practicing our Conscious Discipline family classroom strategies.  The children are practicing teamwork and working together and supporting each other.  We are learning to regulate our voices using a voice level chart provided by Ms. Youmna...
