Newsletter - Sept. 22nd

Star Class News
Week of September 22nd

Last week we had fun talking about our friends and families.  Our first trips to Kindred were a success.   The kids remembered to bring their smiles and some of them even sang!

Carnival
Our Carnival is coming up quickly.  Mark your calenders for October 3rd, for a night full of family fun.  Pre-Sale Game Tickets will be $10, the day of the Carnival the price goes up to $15.  Games will include Minion Bowling, Angry Birds, Bouncy Houses, and more.  Our class will be in charge of the Minion Bowling this year, we will need two volunteers per shift.  We will have a sign up out soon.

Pumpkin Patch
Our first field trip this year will be our annual Pumpkin Patch Field Trip.  This year we will be going to the Vancouver Pumpkin Patch at Velvet Acres on Thursday 10/16 at 9:30 and Friday 10/17 at 9:30.  The cost is $5 per child and will include a pumpkin for your child (they must be able to carry it), petting zoo, hay ride, and hay tunnel.  Our sign up will be out this week.  Please let us know which day you can come so we know how many to expect!

Picture Day
Our class pictures will be on Tuesday 10/7.  If you do not normally come that day we hope you can come in from 9 – 9:30 so that we can have all of our the Star Class in the class picture.

All-About Me Books and Class Needs
We had fun sharing our all about me books last week, if you haven't had a chance to send them in it's not to late!  We still need a few friends to bring in their Cubby pictures, family pictures and 2” binders.

Sick Kids
Please call and let us know if your child will not be attending school.  You can text me at 360-771-1833 or call the school office at (360) 693-5614.

This week in the Star Class
This week in the Star Class we will be exploring Apples, painting with apples, making patterns, and creating our own apples.  We will also be doing some apple testing to learn which apples are our class favorites.

Word Wall
This week we will be starting with the letter Bb for Balloon or Baby.  Your child can bring in an item that starts with the letter of the week and we will write the word out and put on our word wall.  They can put their item in our pelican that is by the word wall.

This weeks songs in the Star Class

Apples are Falling (sung to Are you sleeping)
Apples are falling, apples are falling
From the tree, from the tree
Pick up all the apples, pick up all the apples
One, two, three, one, two, three

Ten Red Apples
Here I have five apples.  (hold up five fingers)
And here are five again.  (hold up the other hand)
How many apples altogether? (shrug)
Why, five and five make ten! (Clap)
