What a busy week! The children in the Oak Room have been working hard on jobs, Dia de los Muertos activities and having fun with friends. We spent a lot of our time talking about Mexico and the tradition of the Day of the Dead celebrations. We were pleased to learn that the children were very interested in why this holiday is celebrated and what the children of Mexico do to honor the special people in their lives who are no longer with them.
Next week we will be joining with the Maple Room to celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights celebrated in India. This is a great favorite with the children so we are looking forward to those activities and tasty foods!
We will soon begin our preparations for Thanksgiving and learning about the history of this American holiday. Please look for a coffee can and instructions that will be sent home as a family craft activity. This will be your child’s contribution to our totem poles!
Please Note:
Thank you for your cooperation with the new nap routine. The nap packs are a great success and the children seem to enjoy the responsibility of taking care of their pack and getting ready for nap all by themselves.
It is getting chilly outside. Please remember that we do take the children outside if the temperature is above 32 degrees, so they need to have appropriate outdoor clothing. With the cold mornings and warmer afternoons, we find dressing in layers to work best in keeping the kids comfortable.
Good friends working together!
