October 12, 2011
Dear Pre-k parents,
This month the children will develop awareness of the colors, sights, sounds, seasonal changes, and events that characterize the month of October. Our main focus throughout the month will be “Exploring Fall”. It is through that focus we will explore: Leaves, Nuts and Trees, Fire Safety, Pumpkins, Spiders & Insects and Halloween.
This week in school we have been discussing fire safety. We are learning some important safety skills, such as stop, drop and roll if clothes catch on fire and how to crawl low to avoid smoke inhalation during a fire. We have also practiced for a fire drill at school. We have been reviewing home addresses. Please work with your daughter on knowing her address. Please also take the time to discuss important safety procedures that apply at home. Knowledge of fire safety can save lives.
We are continuing to focus on our first names. I am very proud of the girls. They can now recognize their name in print as well as the names of her classmates! This month we will be practicing how to properly hold a pencil, the correct order of letters in her name and how to print it.
Enjoy working with your daughter!

Thank You,
Mrs. Maneri
