This Week in the Oak Room

What a nice week! The children are all so busy in the classroom and are really enjoying the lovely weather.  We are continuing with our apple theme and enjoying the “fruits” of our labors! We had an apple tasting and charted the results.  Granny Smith was the class favorite.  11 children out of 24 chose this tart variety.  This upcoming week we will be making applesauce and apple pies!

Your children may have mentioned that we have started yoga.  These exercises are ideal for young children and they really seem to enjoy it.  We asked several what their favorite part was, and most said they liked the quiet resting time at the end.  Yoga will be offered to the children every Thursday morning for the remainder of the school year.

Please Note:

Picture day is Wednesday, Sept. 18th.  The photographer will be taking posed and casual shots.  We will not be playing outside before class on that day to make sure that our picture day outfits stay nice and clean!

Please be mindful of the changing weather.  With cool mornings and warmer afternoons you may need to dress your children in “layers” for a while.  Also, please make sure to update your child’s change of clothes to seasonally appropriate wear.

Child quote of the week:

Madison: “My Lucies at home are getting worn out.”

Holly: “Why, are they old?”

Madison: “No, they just say Madison, Madison all the time. It’s a lot of work.”

(Note: Madison’s dolls are named “Lucy”)
