Nov./Dec. Newsletter

What We're Learning

November comes to us with many fun activities! Our Halloween Candy days are long gone as our theme of the month is Healthy Kids! We will be learning about nutrition, exploring many ways to exercise, and focus on being all-around healthy kids. And of course we will also be gearing up for Thanksgiving as time gets closer.

December’s themes will be Winter in Duluth & Holidays/Family Traditions. We will be diving into winter and what it means for the animals and people who live in our city. We will talk about weather changes, learn how to dress for winter, and identify seasonal characteristics of animals and environmental changes.

We will be focusing on the letters E-K, and we will also be learning about numbers: 3-6, shapes: triangle & oval, positional words: “on”, “off”, “over”, and “under", and colors: brown, gray, and blue. For reinforcement, look for ways to incorporate these areas in your everyday lives!

You will see we have a Parent’s Night Out scheduled in December. This is a fun night for the kids where they get to have a PJ party at school; eat fun treats, play cool games, do fun crafts, etc.! Not to mention the perfect opportunity for moms and dads to have a date night…or catch up on a little holiday shopping!! Be on the look-out for sign-ups at school.
