Newsletter - September 30th

Star Class News
Week of September 30th

Thank you to everyone who came to our Laps for LAPS friday night! The kids looked like they were having a lot of fun, and Teacher Jo had fun running around upstairs with them. We hope that they all slept well for you after that, most of the kids lasted at least 30 minutes once they got started. You can bring in the money you collected anytime this week.
 
Due Dates!
Book orders are due Monday, September 30th.

T-shirt orders and money are due Tuesday October 1st. They should be ready by our Pumpkin Patch field trip! They are fun to have for field trips and Kindred days!

Carnival
Our Fall Carnival is this Friday, October 4th. We hope you can all come and join us for this fun family event! Weather permitting we will have all our games and booths outside in the parking lot across from the Art School. Carnival game tickets are on pre0slae until Wednesday at the end of school. Bracelets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. We will only be offering individual food items. We are offering hotdogs/chili dogs, bowl of chili, chips, water/juice, cookies and cotton candy.

All-About Me Books
Please take the time to do your “All About Me” books with your kids. We have had a couple returned and they are a great way for the kids to get to know one another. Once they are shared we will keep them in the class so the kids can view them all year.

This week in the Star Class
This week we are going to be exploring colors with some fun art projects and science experiments. We will be playing with water on our light table and creating with shaving cream this week so please send your child in layers, with short sleeve shirts. If we get to go outside, we will make sure they are wearing their jackets and sweaters.

Word Wall
We are starting our word wall this week! The letter of the week will be Ii for Ice and Igloo. 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 on the end of or cubby shelf.

Star Class Song

Shape Song (to the tune of: "The Farmer in the Dell")
You put blue in,
You take blue out.
You put blue in
And you shake it all about.
You do the hokey-pokey and you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about!
Continue with each color

If You're Wearing Red (to the tune of: if your happy and you know it)
If you are wearing red, Shake your head,
If you are wearing red, Shake your head,
If you are wearing red,
Then please shake your head.
If you are wearing red, shake your head.
