Cheerful Chipmunks
November 2017
Happy November!
We have had so much fun in October learning about fall and Halloween. We did so many fun things with pumpkins and leaves. We also read lots of fun Halloween stories. Our favorites are The Spooky Wheels on the Bus, Big Pumpkin, and If You're Spooky and You Know It. We carved a pumpkin, played with the seeds, played with cut up pumpkins in our water table, touch all the different textures that a gourd has. We also had a wonderful Halloween party on Halloween. We loved all of the costumes.
In November we are going to spend some time talking about the Fall Harvest and Thanksgiving. We also have lots of fun process art project planned with lots of different materials.
Toys from Home
We have noticed a lot of toys from home coming with children in the morning. Please read our policy on this from the Milestones parent handbook. Please leave children's personal toys at home or in your car.
From the Milestones Parent Handbook:
Personal Belongings- As part of the learning experience, the children in the program share all toys and educational materials. The center has an ample supply of equipment and materials. We cannot assume responsibility for loss or damage to any personal possessions children bring to the center. It is distressing to children to misplace or lose personal toys and sometimes difficult for the teacher to identify the owner. Therefore, toys and items of value need to remain at home. Please help your child understand why it is not wise to bring items that they may not wish to share with the group.
