School Pictures will be on Thursday, October 11.

We will have school next week on Monday, October 15 and Tuesday, October 16.  We will be closed the rest of the week for Pumpkin Show.  We will be back in school on Monday, October 22 and the bookmobile will be coming to school that day.

We are looking at starting our swimming program at the YMCA in November.  We are working out the details with the Y and we'll send home a swim schedule as soon as that has been confirmed with them.

We will eat an early breakfast and then leave the school at 9:15-9:30 in the morning and return at 2 in the afternoon.  Please pack a totally disposable lunch that we will eat at Circle S Farms.  If you want to see what Circle S Farms is all about in Grove City you can visit their website at circlesfarm.com or call 614.878.7980.

We would love it if you could join us!

October Theme: Everything Changes

We will finish up our planet mobile during the first week of October.  We will then move onto our new unit of Everything Changes.  This unit will cover seasons and weather, growth and change that we find in plants and ourselves.  and all kinds of plants.  We will plant flowers and vegetables in the raised beds that are in our OLA (Outdoor Learning Area).  As we've changed to the season of fall we'll discuss and experience changes that we see outside and how that reflects change in how we dress and activities that we can do outside.  We'll, of course, talk about Pumpkin Show as we start getting excited about that this time of year!
