A Note from Our Principal
From apple and pumpkin-themed activities to leaf hunts and more, we’ve enjoyed all sorts of autumn fun and learning throughout October. The children also learned the importance of fire safety while meeting firefighters and seeing the fire engine. This month, we will embark on a journey of fostering connections and celebrating family traditions as we nurture the spirit of Thanksgiving and togetherness. Our students will engage in activities that inspire gratitude and kindness by sharing personal experiences and learning about the importance of giving back to our community.
Thank you for entrusting us with the care and education of your children. We look forward to another month of joy and learning!
Sincerely,
Karina Medina
Tom Turkey
It’s time for a family project…Tom the Turkey needs to go undercover. Parents will receive a Turkey to disguise so he won’t get eaten up for Thanksgiving. When he is all dressed up send him back to school so that he can continue to hide in our classroom.
Diwali
November 1st is the beginning of Diwali where it is a 5 day celebration also know as festival of lights in India. Children will learn about Diwali through books and activities. Children will make Rangolis, floor patterns with shapes and colors. We will also talk about the importance of sharing meals with families and friends. All the children made lanterns to decorate our hallway, so you can enjoy the “Sanskrit”, row of lamps.
Thanksgiving
Our students will celebrate Thanksgiving with fun classroom activities on November 22nd. The children will have a fancy friendship feast, where they can come in their best attire. Children will enjoy a candle lit lunch with turkey and sides. They will talk about the importance of family and friendships while also learning about table manners. We look forward to making our placemats and center pieces for the special lunch.
Native American Heritage Month
November is Native American Heritage Month. It is a time to honor their culture, accomplishments, and contributions. When children acknowledge and appreciate diverse cultures, they are helping to build a community of belonging and inclusion. We will be celebrating in our classrooms by reading books about Native Americans, making a traditional meal, and exploring nature which is an important part of the Native American culture!
