If you ever have a question, concern, or are just wondering how your child is doing, don't hesitate to speak with me, or drop me an email. Have a nice Thanksgiving , Ms. Hofer

The Theme of the Month: Insects and Fall The theme of this month will be based around insects and fall. This is an exciting unit because it allows us to explore the changes that are happening outside. We will be going for fall walks with our buddies, and talking about what these weather changes mean for the insects. Thanksgiving will also be a focus for the month, as we discuss the things that we are thankful for. A few outcomes for this theme include: discovery, exploration, socialization, and literacy skills.

Welcome to The Arts Ed. Corner

Set out a piece of yarn for each color of paint you intend to use. Have your child dip the yarn in one color of paint, and run it across the paper. Use a new piece of yarn for a different color. You can also talk about symmetrical art, where something is the same on both sides. Do it on one side of the paper, then try folding it in half. The picture to the right was done by a Pre-K from last year.
