Happy Thanksgiving

We have finished our Thanksgiving unit!  I hope everyone has a wonderful time with family and friends while we are off next week.  Please take the time to discuss with our little ones being thankful for everything.  I am thankful for trees, leaves, food, and fun with my family, my sisters and brothers, etc.  This is just an idea to keep the thankful thoughts moving forward.  Our next unit is on Gingerbread, yummy!

In our math unit we are still working on the differences between big and small.  Please try to encourage the use of saying “big and small” in your everyday talks with your little ones.  This will only reinforce what we are learning at school.  See if your child can follow your directions and understand the differences of size.  Remember that our Ready Rosie is a great way to access information regarding our curriculum and that you can focus on these same skills at home!  Big and Small.

ECS Multi-Cultural Night is December 6, please mark your calendar!  This is a fun way to get to learn about other cultures!  Some people come dressed in decorative clothing and others share their culture and food.  What a yummy time to get together, we will enjoy lots of treats I am sure!

In motorlab we are learning to use our gross motor skills to hit a ball with a foam paddle; and we are working on running and putting together a big gingerbread house.  We are learning to stomp and jump with two feet together and we are learning how to use a scooter board and scoot with our legs forwards and backwards. 

In music we learned a song about a Turkey and got to listen to how a turkey sounds by playing a funny instrument that Ms. Erin brought to class.  It was very loud, but we all enjoyed playing with the instrument!

Please remember with the weather getting colder we go outside nearly every day.  According to FISD we will be outside, weather permitting when it is 32 degrees.  Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately and in layers they can take off and put on themselves with minimal assistance.  Also, please keep all belongings labeled so they do not get lost at school.

Hope everyone has a very restful Thanksgiving and wonderful time with their families and friends.
