NSMS Children's House
Ms. Dana & Ms. Terry - Bi-Monthly Newsletter - November 13
Hope you had a super weekend; I look forward to connecting with you on Friday the 18th for conferences. For those new to NSMS, please note that free child care is available in the gym during conference time. Our picture day is Wednesday, the 16th and we are first in line! Thanksgiving recess is right around the corner; we will be closed November 23rd through the 25th.
In class we continue to talk about seasonal changes and what different animals do to prepare for Winter. In December I am planning to have a Winter feast where we can sample different berries and nuts; foods that birds and squirrels might find very tasty! Currently we are reading In November by Cynthia Rylant. Two enormous class favorites are Kiss Goodnight Sam, by Amy Hest and Little Owl Lost, by Chris Haughton.
My apologies for the lateness of this newsletter; I've spent the last three days at Westside Montessori in NYC taking exams. Lots of work ahead but I am six months closer to becoming a certified Montessorian; Yay! Here's an interesting fact, when the children who attend Westside go to recess, they head to the roof! Crazy!
Warmly,
Ms. Dana
