| ITEMS WE NEED TO GET US THROUGH THE DAY... Boxes of Kleenex 100% Fruit Juice (Apple, Grape, White Grape, Pineapple, etc) Napkins Crackers (Wheat Thins, Graham, Saltines, Ritz, Cheezits, Fish, etc.) Pretzels (packaged in a peanut free facility) Fresh Fruit Fresh Vegetables Cheese Yogurt Tortillas Bread Grape or Strawberry Jam or Jelly “D” Batteries for our flashlights. Disposable cameras. We take lots of pictures of your child at play. Soft pine wood for our hammering table. Construction sites have the perfect size block. Art. . . Throughout our year together, your child will be bringing home a variety of artwork. The experience of “Doing” and “Experimenting” is the “Learning” of young children. What your child feels and enjoys about his/her involvement in the creative process is much more important than the finished product. When your child brings art work home, ask “How did you do that?” or “What did you use?”. “Tell me about it” is always better than “What is it?”. |

When asked what did you do today at school, most children will say... “Nothing” or “Played”. Try asking them “What did you
learn at school today?”
There are many types of celebrations in a child’s life, but probably none that have a greater significance for the child than
that of their own birthday. Celebrating birthdays can provide meaningful context for:
• Logical-mathematical concepts of counting, measurement, patterning & time.
• Socialization through activities and discussion of similarities & differences among children,
their names, their birth dates & cross-cultural celebration.
• Language development through discussion of common elements that most have
experienced, as well as, celebrations through literature, music & rhyme.
• Eye-hand coordination/fine motor development through manipulative activities with objects
that holds significance for the child.
• Connecting activities between home & school reassures a child of their importance to each
other.
Birthday’s celebrated at school give a child a sense of pride, feelings of success, and power!
HAPPY SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAYS TO YOU...
“What young children need most of all is a good start in learning how to get along with others. Making Friends and
cooperating with others is not only a significant part of each child’s self image, it is essential for the future of our culture.”
