Please keep all toys at home. There are plenty of toys in class and I wouldn't want them to get mixed up or lost.
We will be going out most days, so please make sure your child has the appropriate outerwear, hats, mittens and sneakers.
Also, if you haven't sent in a family picture, please do so I can add it to the display.
Wishing that you all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. This week we will discuss different styles of music and who works with music for their job. The children made many musical instruments, such as shaky eggs, maracas, rain sticks, pan flutes and drums. If you have any empty tissue boxes, coffee cans with lids, cereal boxes, Pringle cans with lid, toilet paper tubes and paper towel tubes, I am collecting them to make more instruments. Mark your calendar. I will be taking the class to the Holiday Shop (in school) on 11/28/22.
Check out the videos below to see musicians making music with spoons and a comb and paper.

What your child will need:
- Regular size backpack big enough to fit a folder
- Small blanket, roll up sleeping mat or fitted sheet (they would need to be able to get it on their mat independently)
- A small stuffed animal (only one please)
- Healthy snack and drink
- Lunch and drink (if they are not buying lunch)
- Change of clothing to leave at school (please put clothes in a ziploc bag with their name on it)
- Diapers and wipes if needed
- School ID
Please label all items with your child's name or initials as many children have the same items and they easily get mixed up as they are learning where to put their belongings.
