Staci's Notes:

As we enter our third week of colors, we are talking about the color Blue. The Teddy Bears and Care Bears are making Blue’s Clue’s cupcakes. The Pooh Bears have decided to make “Blue” chocolate covered cookies. Yummy! Thursday please help your child remember to bring a blue toy. Friday, we will all wear blue. These special things really reinforce color recognition and make them feel a part of the unit.

Staci's Notes:

We are beginning our eight week long unit about colors. This week we will be talking about red. Please encourage your child to find things that are red in their everyday life at home, shopping, in the car, etc. They love it when we all get involved in their weekly units. Each classroom is working on their own "Book of Colors" once we finish the following eight weeks be sure to check the bookshelf in your child's classroom.

Staci's Notes:

This week we will be finishing up our two week unit about "Circus". The Pooh Bears had a great time last week making Carousels for snack. The Care Bears made a "Circus Train" and the Teddy Bears made "Clown faces". It sure was yummy! Please try to send a stuffed animal that you might find at the circus on Thursday for Toy day and a Circus book for Book day!

Staci's Notes:

It is time gear up for school! Just a few reminders for our van riders:
The vans will be loading and leaving for Westbrook, Angie Grant, Howard Perrin, Caldwell and Ringgold by 7:20! Due to the distances driven or the combination of schools, we cannot wait to on anyone to arrive.
After school van riders, we need a phone call if your child is absent from school, has been checked out, or is a car rider. This way we won't be looking for them. This is a courtesy to the other children waiting on the van, our staff and parents waiting here while we are trying to locate someone.
