Cheerful Chipmunks
November 2018
Happy November Everyone!
We hope your are having a wonderful fall and enjoying all of the activities that come with this time of year. We've had lot of fun exploring pumpkins, leaves and doing all kinds of fun fall art projects. We have lots of them up in our classroom. We also have our Halloween pictures up in our classroom. Come check them out.
Weather
We have been so grateful for the mostly nice weather this month. In looking at the extended forecast it looks like it may snow in the next week or so. Please make sure the 1st time it snows your child has the following
1. Snow Boots
2. Snow Pants
3. Warm Coat
4. Hat
5. Gloves or Mittens- please try these on at home and make sure they fit your child.
Please Please Label everything. We encourage as much indepenance as possible in the Chipmunk room and sometimes that means things get put in the wrong cubby or in the wrong spot. We will do our best to make sure things get put back where they belong which is much easier when everything is labeled.
Metallic Sharpies work great for writing on black or masking tape in on the inside of items usually sticks all winter.
Please also remember to check your child's snow clothes daily. If they are wet please take them home, dry them and return them the next day. We will go outside twice a day weather permitting and we are unable to dry them.
Shoes
We are making a new shoe rack for our classroom. Each child will have a section with their name and picture on it. Please check it for your child's shoes if they are not in their cubby or on their feet.
