10/19/2009 Dear ECE Parents, I have provided you with a copy of what we will be learning this year in literacy. The “Year at a Glance Units of Study” paper will give you an idea of what we will be covering in the classroom. I have also provided you with some activities you can do with your child that will enhance their language and literacy skills. We braved the cold and ended up having a great time at Anderson Farms (The Pumpkin Patch). Thank You to all the parent volunteers we had on the trip! The Children’s Museum came to our school and did a presentation on “Stories from Around the World”. The kids really seemed to enjoy it! Please take a look at the photos hanging outside the classroom! I have subscribed to a Wildlife Magazine called “Our Big Backyard” put out monthly by the National Wildlife Federation. We have been looking at the magazine in class and learning about animals. Just a reminder that The Parade of Masks will be held on Tuesday October 27th at 2:30pm. We will be parading around Montclair Park wearing homemade masks. We would love to see you there! We will be having a party after the Parade in the classroom. I am asking that you all sign up to bring a healthy snack for the party. The sign up sheet is located next to your mailboxes. Have a Great Week! Molly McFall
