We will be swimming tomorrow, Wednesday,November 3 and Wednesday, November 17th this month. We'll try to see how that works for our children swimming twice this month. We want it to be fun for them and not tire them out too much. During Thanksgiving week we'll set up the swimming schedule for December. Then, it's hard to believe but it'll be 2011 before we know it!
If your schedule allows you to join us for swimming please do! We plan to board the bus at 10:00 at Brooks-Yates and then drive to the Y. If you want to meet us there at 10:15 that would be great. Then we'll swim from 10:30-11:30 and change and go back to school in time for lunch at 12:00. Please know that you're always welcome in the Red Room or on any field trips that we take.

So you can plan ahead, our Thanksgiving break will start on Wednesday, November 24 and we will resume school on Monday, November 29.

Great Fall Party
We had a wonderful time at our fall party and the children's costumes were marvelous! They had fun bowling, playing corn hole, painting pumpkins, digging for treasures in the balls, getting their face painted and jumping in the bounce house. After the party we went trick or treating in the school and they were all very pleased with their candies and their treasures!
This week we opened up our pumpkins and scraped out the pulp and the seeds. We washed and dried our seeds and we added them to our collection of sunflower seeds and corn seeds. We planted all of our seeds and so far the corn has taken off and we're transplanting them already as they're up to 5 inches tall!
We worked on comparing the seeds with our magnifying glasses, making groups of seeds and comparing their size to determine which pile had more and which had less. We saved our sunflower seeds and we'll make bird feeders next and hang them outside our windows to observe all the birds coming to eat this fall and winter.
We're moving on to learning about Indians, Pilgrims, Thanksgiving and healthy eating as we learn about the food pyramid. We'll start off our new month with a new song. Every month we have a new song that learn as we're learning the months of the year. We also have seasonal songs and we've learned the summer song and now we now the Autumn song.
Swimming will start next week and we are determining which class will be going to the YMCA to swim each week as we're working out the amount of room on the bus. We will send home a letter on Monday with the schedule for our class so you'll know exactly when we're swimming.
