Dear Parents,

Dear Parents,
Our theme for this month is “Fall Is All Around.” We will be discussing
what happens during fall; the weather changes, and the leaves change colors.
To help the children understand this idea better we will go on a nature walk and
talk about the different changes that have occurred. On our walk we will also
collect leaves and use them for an art project. Finally, we will discuss the things
we like to do during fall.
This month is an exciting one for children because it ends with a favorite
dress up day for them--Halloween. We will celebrate Halloween by having a
costume party on Friday, October 30; each child can bring in individually
wrapped treats for their friends. You will receive more details about the
Halloween Party at a future date.
Since this is the month of Halloween we thought it would only be fitting to
have two colors for this month ORANGE and BLACK. ORANGE and BLACK
DAY this month is on Wednesday, October 7; your child should wear or bring
in something orange on that day. Our shape for this month is CIRCLE; we will
be making circle spiders, sponge paintings, and collages.
We would like to welcome Michelle, Shemseddin, Walter and their
families to our Dolphin room family.
Chris & Wilma
Happy Halloween!

Orange Song (tune:”This Old Man”)
O-r-a-n-g-e.
Orange is the color of things I see…
Like a great big pumpkin,
plump as it can be.
O-r-a-n-g-e.
O-r-a-n-g-e.
This orange shirt looks bright on me.
Orange is not just a color,
but a fruit from a tree!
O-r-a-n-g-e.
Black Song (tune:”Baa, Baa, Black Sheep.”)
Black cats, black sheep, b-l-a-c-k.
Spell the color black today.
Black are the stripes on a zebra at the zoo.
Black is the color of licorice, too.
Black cats, black sheep, b-l-a-c-k.
Spell the color black today!
Circle song (tune:”London Bridge is Falling Down”)
The shape made by a twirling hoop,
bubbles blown by a group,
a plane that flies a loop-de-loop…
that’s a circle!
A yo-yo spinning on a string,
or an old tire swing,
the shape of these fun playground rings…
that’s a circle!
