November
in the JLC Class
School Routine
Our class has officially transitioned from our "Family" unit into our second unit of the year: Restaurants! The children have been busy creating props, menus, and seating charts for each of the 6 "restaurant" themed eateries in our class. Upon visiting our class during our Make Believe Play Block, you may find yourself invited into a coffee shop, hibachi restaurant, cafeteria, pizzeria, formal restaurant, or ice cream truck. During their play explorations, the children are taking on various roles--- delivery person, host, greeter, server, chef, manage, custodian, customer, and more!
The children have also been introduced and participated in many new school activities including:
"Mystery Shapes", Science Eyes Experiments/Five Senses, New Story Labs, Higher difficulty level Graphics Practice, Making Collections, Freeze on the Number, and more!
Consistency and routine are key in your child's development. Thank you for your continued support in striving for perfect attendance and having your child arrive to school by 8:50 (or 8:40 if they eat breakfast with us).

Late Arrivals/New Parking Lot Safety Policy.
Late Arrivals: Please note, that our class goes outside promptly at 9 am (weather permitting). As per a new state guideline, our parking lot will be closed to vehicles while the children are walking from the building to the playground and from the playground back into the building. Due to this, if you arrive to school late, you may not have access to the parking lot. In the event the lot is closed off, please park on South 9th or South 10th and walk to the building.
For the safety of the children and staff, please do not enter the lot from the parking lot exit or while children are present and visibly walking to/from the playground. Thank you!
