Music    Music with
Miss Adell 
In October each class met with me for our first music class of the year!   I like to start our time together with some yoga and stretching to warm up our bodies and make our muscles stronger!  We danced and sang about the Pumpkin Patch, Gray Squirrels and Monsters!  We also learned about rhythm and practiced our listening skills when we played some instruments!  I look forward to making music with your children this year!

News from the Directors
Greetings from Ann-Marie and Julie!

Falling leaves, crisp air, pumpkins and blessings mean it must be November! It's also the month for Parent-Teacher Conferences. The fall conference is designed as a time for you and your child's teacher to exchange information. It's a time for you to hear more about your child's interests and interactions during school; and a time for you to share with us about your child's interests and interactions outside of school. In addition, it's a time for you to ask any questions that you may have about your child's learning, development or the school program in general. Please make sure you sign up for a time to meet with your child's classroom teacher. Communication is the key to a great relationship!

Blessings,
Julie and Ann-Marie
