Letter T week was totally tea-riffic! We began our week with an elegant tea party, complete with finest of accessories and most dapper of attire. On Tuesday, Dr. Andrea Owens came to visit and talk with us about how to take care of our teeth. She reminded us that treats full of sugar are to be eaten in small amounts and we should brush two times a day, when we wake up and just before going to bed. She also brought a sweet treat to send home along with a new toothbrush, floss and toothpaste. Thank you for coming to visit and bringing goodie bags and treats, Dr. Owens!
Friends worked together to build train tracks that curved and spiraled around and around. Others listened to Toy Story in our listening invitation. Several invitations allowed for exploring ways to build towers then use a tape measure to see how tall they were. The tallest measured this week was 44 inches! Tinker Toys were used to engineer windmills, a treehouse, a generator, and much more! Teachers taught students about the calendar, alphabet and weather in their classroom. Some even visited the Principal’s office.
Flower pots were cleaned out and tulip bulbs were planted so they can emerge this spring. We used turmeric to mix with hand sanitizer and witness a reaction to make an invisible handprint appear! In the Outside Classroom we used a teeter totter as a tool to learn about balancing and weight. Transparencies and leaf patterns are transforming to become window decorations with the appearance of stained glass for fall!
Thank you to those who have sent in snacks thus far! There will be a hard copy of the Snack Calendar going home with your child this week. You can send snack in early if you wish, and remember if you are unable to send it on your designated day please reach out and let us know.
If you would like to send in a special treat, goodie bag or snack for Halloween please send it in on Wednesday or Thursday. If your child attends Monday/Wednesday, they may wear their costume on Wednesday. If they attend on Tuesday/Thursday, they may wear their costume on Thursday. If they attend Monday-Thursday, they may wear a costume on Wednesday and Thursday if they would like. We ask that toys remain safely at home, and should remain safely at home moving forward. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Ms. Leah, Ms. Jacquita and the Smart Start team
