November 2009
News from Preschool
Wow! The school year is zooming by, and November is sure to be another busy  month. After a few days of squirrels and owls, we will begin a unit on self-concept. The children will explore similarities, celebrate uniqueness, and learn about basic needs of humankind. The concept of ‘family’ will be introduced, and will expand a bit to community. This all sets the stage for learning about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. This is an opportune time to focus on what we need, and have, versus what we want. We are so fortunate for all the simple gifts we receive each day!
A study of Native Americans will also occur later in the month. Thematic play will provide many opportunities for children to begin learning what life was like in a native village long ago. Children will internalize many concepts as they engage in play with peers in this popular center.
I am looking forward to the upcoming parent-teacher conferences. I will discuss your child’s first months of the school year, as well as set some future goals. Make sure to sign-up on the sheets posted outside the office.
In this season of Thanksgiving, we extend our sincere gratitude for all you do to support your child and our program. We are truly thankful for the children’s sprit and humor and feel blessed to share a part of their day. Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday to all in our extended Taylor School community.
Warm regards,
Karen and Lisa
