Additional Thanksgiving Feast info: lunchboxes and allergies

Hello, dear Parents!

Our Thanksgiving Feast is this Thursday, 11/20, and we are all so excited!

The children will need their water bottles that day, but not their lunchboxes.

The following foods will be included in the feast: turkey lunch meat, aloha rolls, canned corn, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, strawberries, blueberries, and mini carrots.

The exception to bringing a lunch would be children who have allergies. If your child has an allergy or food restriction and cannot eat the feast food, please bring lunch or additional food for your child. If your child can eat most of the food (there are fruit and veggie options!), you can bring substitutes for the meat/potatoes/mac n’ cheese/rolls/corn.

Thank you so much and please let me know if you have any questions at all.

Happy Veteran’s Day!

Thank you to all of our Veterans! We appreciate everything that you do and have done!

You will see some pictures of the older friends learning about shadows. Where does a light source need to be to create a shadow? The older friends have learned what natural vs. artificial light is and what translucent, transparent, and opaque objects are. Tomorrow, they will continue light studies by studying the great natural light source, the sun. They’ll observe how the shadows change and seem to “move” as the earth spins by making a block tower sundial!

Reminders and notes for this week

Hello, dear Parents,

Just a reminder that our Drum Jam session is this Thursday, 11/13, during morning circle. All children can bring in a homemade drum or instrument and show us how it makes noise! We will all make music with our homemade instruments afterwards.

A very important note and instructions about our Thanksgiving Feast will be in your child’s lunchbox tomorrow. The children will choose which food they will bring for our feast on 11/20. More information and reminders will be sent home as the date approaches.

We will also run a safety drill tomorrow before circle called “Mouse in the House.” We are required by regulation to run Lock Down drills, but we make them fun and a game. 

Thank you so much and please let me know if you have any questions at all,

Rachel

The biggest donation of the day!

The volunteers at SafePlace were so appreciative of all of your donations and support, Parents. They told me that we had the largest donation of the day! They were also very touched that the toys were new and in their packages for gifts for the children.

It was also neat to visit the Warehouse to see the new apartments that are being built for the families. It’s still skeletal-looking at this moment, but you can see the vision!
