Dearest Families,
The sun is shining, the sky is blue, I’m having a great time and the kids are too!! I can’t believe we are already well into our third week. We started the year with an apple theme and we are now beginning to transition to an autumn/ harvest theme in our circle and story times. The kids have settled into our rhythm with ease and have bonded with each other. What a special group of kids we have here!
There are a few events happening this month:
This coming Tuesday, Oct. 6 th will be our first handwork evening. This is open to the community and is a chance for adults to gather, sip tea, work on whatever project suits your fancy and engage in some adult conversation. Handwork evenings will run from 6pm until around 7:30 and will be held every first and third Tuesday of the month. Come anytime, no advance notice is necessary – I’ll be here regardless! I am hoping that crafters of many varieties pop in so that we can all learn from each other.
Thursday, October 15 th , (contrary to what our school calendar says) will be our pumpkin patch field trip! We are scheduled to meet at J&K farms at 10am for a hay ride, a corn maize adventure, a chance to pick out a pumpkin from the field and a picnic lunch together. I’ll need chaperones to help with driving etc.Please add your info to the sign-up sheet if you can help on this day. I will provide more details when we are closer to the date.
Sunday, October 18 th is our first school festival! We will be having a harvest festival and I am in need of some parent volunteers to help with the planning and execution. Our first festival planning meeting will be Tuesday October 6 th at 5pm at the school. Please add your name to the list if you can attend or let me know if you want to help in some capacity but cannot attend the meeting at that time.
As we are transitioning into autumn, temperatures can vary greatly on any given day. Please keep in mind that the children spend about an hour outside each day and it is best if they have layers to choose from as the weather changes. I am attaching an excellent article about the importance of warmth for young ones.
Your children are a joy to work with! Thank you for the opportunity. As always, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to ask.
Warmly, Miss Lista
