A MESSAGE
FROM MRS. SHANA
Dear Parents!
Every year, I do a very messy pumpkin lesson with the kindergartners. It's a fun lesson where students continue to develop their fine motor skills, counting skills, organizational exploration skills. In order for this to happen, I need your help.
I'm looking for WHOLE UNCUT pumpkins; baby bear size (a little bigger than a soft ball) all the way up to giant ones! I'd need 5-6 per class, so I'm looking for a total of 30-40 pumpkins. Color and shape does not matter.
If you would like to donate up until November 9th, please bring your pumpkins to the outdoor classroom where we hold class and leave them by the whiteboard, or drop them off to your child's regular classroom and I'll pick them up.
Thanks ahead of time for your contribution!

OCTOBER CHALLENGE
is being Cooperative
Each month we will send home a "challenge" which is for you to practice at home. You do not have to participate but for those that do find it helpful the calendar that is attached if for you to keep track on- we do not put any of the stickers on at school- they are to be earned at home. You will return the calendar at the end of the month to whichever teacher you are with that week. Please let us know if you have any questions!
