Today, during our play centers, your children were really fun to watch as they embraced the roles and props that accompany our restaurant theme. They were busy cooking spaghetti, baking donuts (I don’t think you actually “bake” donuts, but we do in our pretend roles), washing dishes, planting and picking Indian corn for customers at the Farmer’s Market, scooping ice cream and assembling sandwiches. Here are a few pictures ...

  

                    

                                                                                

   

Going outside is a great part of our morning. It was cold today. We will, of course, observe the school guidelines regarding temperature and wind chill factors, but we will also try to go out every day possible. The running and climbing and jumping and loud voices all need to come out somewhere, and outside is certainly the place for it to happen happily. So, please send warm outdoor clothing for your child. Here’s our song for the order we get dressed in here at school … We have a song for everything, I believe!

Getting Dressed in Winter

First you put your snowpants on,

Then you do your boots.

Then you put your jacket on,

Zip it ‘cause it’s loose.

Then you put your hat on,

Last you do your mittens.

Then we go outside to play,

Cause we are tired of sittin’.

 December 11^th is the Holiday Fair here at Dike Newell School. Please read the recent info sent home about it and fill in that form before then. I understand the kids simply love buying gifts for their families at the fair.  Please consider volunteering and donating items in good condition to help make this event a success. Thank you very much!

Sincerely, Mrs. Bridgman and Mrs. Peavey
