  • Columbia Crawlers We would like to welcome to Columbia Crawlers our new teacher, Ms. Vikki. Ms.

    Vikki comes to us with 14 years experience in Early Childhood Education. She

    makes learning fun! During the month of October, we will learn the color black

    by creating spiders and webs. We will be reading the book The Very Busy Spi-

    der by Eric Carle. Looking forward to our Halloween Celebration.

    Brown Bears Brown Bears are FALL-ing in love with learning! This month we are off see and

    learn about the world and environment around us. Brown Bears will begin by ex-

    ploring the community around them, cultures newer and abroad and then discuss

    how we can get to those places. Well even take a closer look at geography and

    explore different physical features using sensory activities. This month is even

    more fun because Brown Bears have several birthdays coming up and of course a

    Brown Bear costume party! Check your daily grams for updates from your teach-

    ers.

    Cornell Cubs

    During the month of October, our classroom will be learning about Community

    Helpers and different professionals. We will also learn about world cultures, trav-

    el, and geography! Some of our art projects will be to color the United States,

    locating our home state, New York! Our cubs will dress up in fun costumes and

    be a community helper for the day. There are firemen outfits, policemen outfits,

    and even a chefs apron. Dont forget the weather changes in October and Au-

    tumn arrives. The leaves begin changing colors and the weather becomes cooler.

    Our classroom will experience all these changes first hand. We will look up close

    at different colored leaves, such as red, orange, and yellow. Our cubs will go ap-

    ple picking inside the classroom to see how many apples they can collect. Pump-

    kins will decorate the classroom as we wait for our favorite holiday, HALLOWEEN!

    have visited with our families. We

    tions in uniform and discuss what

    they would like to be when they

    grow up. For an art project I will

    assign each child a countries flag to

    make and we will discuss some

    facts about the country and different

    foods from that country.

  • Harvard PreK1

    Well the air is getting much cooler, the winds are blowing and the leaves are falling to the ground. It is hard to believe the children have already been in school for nearly a month already. They are making great strides and seem to be settling in very well. It has been terrific working with your children up to this point and we are look-ing forward to what the rest of the year will bring. During the month of October, our theme for the month is The Five Senses. Stu-dents will be working on their letters, shapes and numbers as well as practicing their cutting skills. To introduce sci-ence to our theme this month children will be experiencing leaf rub-bing, the change of col-ors and a pumpkin carving! You can also expect to see many Fall and Halloween art crafts hanging in our classroom. Make sure to check them out!

    Harvard PreK 2 Weve settled into our class, and made lots of friends! Moving forward, were

    continuing the theme My Community and Me. In October, we will be studying The

    Five Senses, How do our senses help us understand and explore the world

    around us? Well look at each of the senses, and which body part it is connected

    to. Well listen to two stories by Aliki, My Hands and My Five Senses. We will

    take a listening walk to listen for different sounds in our environment. Finally,

    with Halloween coming, well open up a pumpkin, and feel around the insides to

    look for pumpkin seeds!

  • Dartmouth

    Dartmouth will surely be

    blooming this May! We

    will be focusing on spring

    time and all the beautiful

    changes that occur. First

    we will learn how trees,

    plants, and flowers grow.

    We have an awesome

    planting experiment pre-

    pared to help us visualize

    plant growth. Next, well

    discuss the water cycle.

    condensation, evapora-

    tion and precipitation. We

    comes to an end, well be

    buzzing through to sum-

    mer as bumble bees!

    Watch out...we sting!
