Message from Mrs. Kilday
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! This week's newsletter has some great information in it so be sure to read it through. Our CAPT is sending home the cookbook recipe templates this week. PLEASE fill one out and return it. This is important to our program and only takes a minute. CAPT will also be sending order forms for a cookie fundraiser soon so watch those backpacks!
We start a new unit on nursery rhymes and fairytales this week which is always super popular with our friends . I bet you hear all about the three little pigs story! Take some time to retell it with your child. Some friends need a starter like, so what happened first, next and last. Others can be successful filling in words when you tell the story and others will enjoy hearing you tell it. Don't be shy. Be creative and dramatic for effect! It's really lots of fun and your child will love it!
I hope you enjoy our newsletter this week.

Community Peer Lottery
The Canton Public Schools integrated preschool, the Rodman Early Childhood Program, is holding a lottery for community peer slots for the 2022-2023 school year. Applications and the tuition schedule can be found on our website at https://www.cantonma.org/preschool/index.
We will be offering four and five day options and all students will attend 9-1.
For more information please contact Donna Kilday, our Early Childhood Coordinator, at kildayd@cantonma.org.
For all of you with children returning next year who are not on an IEP, please make sure to return your applications to Mrs. Crespi ASAP. Her email is crespis@cantonma.org or you can just return the form to school.
Curriculum Corner
When we choose fairly tales we are very cognizant of representation. That is, we want our students to see themselves represented in the fairy tales. Interestingly, most fairly tales only feature white characters. You will find that our stories feature many diverse characters.
Our books include:
Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas by Natasha Yim
Adelita, A Mexican Cinderella Story by Tomie dePaola
The Princess and The Pea by Rachel Isadora
We have more, but that gives you an idea of what we are using.
CAPT News-Cookbooks and Cookies!
Upcoming Dates
