Hi, Everyone,
Wow! Where has the time gone? I can't believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner!
The Cardinals have been busy learning all kinds of new things. One of the things we are working hard on is our alphabet books and writing journals. Your children are learning all of their letters (and the sound each one makes) and practicing how to write each one.

The Cardinal room is a bit challanging right now because I have some children getting ready to go off to Kindergarden and some that are going to be staying with us another year. Rest assured those that will be staying with us, your child is NOT being pushed to learn some of the things that the others will be doing. If they choose to do it-great, if not, they work at their own pace.

We also will be making alot of cool art projects. We are in need of empty veggie cans and creamer bottles (please make sure both are rinsed out if you bring some in).

I will try my best to update the blog more often (I'm hoping for a weekly update, but it hasn't been working out that way).

Just a friendly reminder: Breakfast is an important meal of the day and I would like to make sure everyone gets a balanced meal. However, in order to start our day we will be serving breakfast from 7:45 to 8:30. If your child needs/wants breakfast please make sure they are in the room by 8:25. At 8:30, it will be cleaned up and no longer available. Thanks for understanding! :)

Everyday is a new learning experience in the Cardinal Room, if not the kids, it is the teachers! We have been keeping busy learning to build buildings as tall as we are, playing the guitar, and just relaxing in the book area.

November is conference month at Diamond Street. Please call the office if you would like to have a conference. They will be held on Monday 23rd and Tuesday the 24th. If these days do not work for you, please see me and we will make other arrangments. :)

When the weather does not permit us to go outside, we head to the big room for scooter races, hoop toss, and fun active games!

Playing outside is so much fun in the fall. We made a maze path in the leaves, had leave "fights" and raked a huge pile to jump into! We were sad when they bagged them all up.
