Before I write about anything else let me take this opportunity to be Thankful for all of the great children I have the pleasure of working with… They are full of life, motivation and eagerness to discover new learnings! I also would like to say Thank you for continuing to support what is happening in the classroom. Together, we are able to provide a wonderful learning journey for all our children.

I am fully aware that you may be hearing crazy stories for our classroom… Yes, we do laugh and enjoy each others company. It is so very important to create strong relationships with each other to be able to trust and to feel safe when we are struggling with some concepts to learn.

This coming week is all about being Thankful and recognizing all the great people and blessings in our lives. Writing, reading and math activities will make this very evident.

Here are a few pictures of our children working in their causerie groups (talking groups). They are creating a monster family! They are fully enjoying this creation and using their imagination really helps with writing, reading and problem solving.

After Thanksgiving, we will be starting some Halloween work… Spooky fun in the horizon. Therefore, I am looking for 6 real pumpkins (average size) if you have any it would be wonderful if you could donate one to our classroom – you may bring them to our class or drop them off in the office before Oct. 22nd. We will be weighing them, counting all the seeds, learning about their origine of using them for Halloween and of course decorating them. I will buy them if we don’t have any donated. Thank you for your help.

Please ask our children how they enjoyed working with their buddies from the 6X class last Friday – get all the details from them.

Have a great weekend and enjoy each other 🙂
