October 2014 News It is October already!
Wow the year is flying by! October is a busy and fun-filled month. The children have been
learning about community helpers and the different jobs they do. They have also been talking
about what they want to be when they grow up. The students will explore the professionals
that help keep up healthy like doctors, nurses and veterinarians for our pets. And last, but
certainly not least, they will learn about teachers! In Spanish, the children have continued to
study letters and numbers, as well as learning more phrases and theme-related vocabulary in
Spanish. In Gym with Ms. Sam, the children played basketball and did an obstacle course. They
will be practicing throwing and catching, as well as learning to work as a team. We have many
special events planned this month. We will have a Pumpkin Patch and Fall Fest, which will
include a Fall Photo Booth, face painting, tattoos and apple cider and cookies. On Halloween,
we will have Trick or Treating (no candy!) around our school and the Costume Parade. We will
send reminders for all of our upcoming events. Please ensure you have provided a valid email
address and that your Spam filters allow emails from updates@tadpoles.com

Health Corner
Hospitals in Missouri and Illinois are seeing
more children than usual with severe
respiratory illness caused by enterovirus
D68. Several other states are investigating
clusters of children with severe respiratory
illness, possibly due to enterovirus D68.
EV-D68 causes respiratory illness, and the
virus can be found in respiratory
secretions such as saliva, nasal mucus, or
sputum. The virus likely spreads from
person to person when an infected person
coughs, sneezes, or touches contaminated
surfaces. For more info, visit
