Weekly News (Nov. 6-10)

Just wanted to share a few highlights from our week.

What a treat to have author and illustrator Henry Cole visit Dryden. He gave an entertaining presentation that inspired our young readers and writers, and we were thrilled when he drew Celeste the mouse!

All About Me

The afternoon class was excited to learn all about Dominique this week. We learned that Dominique enjoys writing and drawing pictures. She also enjoys playing dress up and playing with her toys, especially her Hatchimal! She loves spending time with her family and her favorite color is purple!

We had a great time acting out Going on a Bear Hunt.
Thank you to Dominique's mom for sharing this favorite!

Thank you to Dominique's dad for sharing another class favorite,
The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

Veterans Day Celebration

What a great way to end our week! Our Veterans Day celebration is always a special day. We had several students who brought guests to celebrate during the breakfast and assembly, and we had Hailey's great grandfather join us for a Q & A after the assembly. Our sincerest thanks to all of our Veterans for their service!

First Snow of the Year

Their excitement was contagious!! Such pure joy as they watched the snowfall!

Snow Gear Tips

Now that the first snow has officially fallen, I thought it would be a good idea to share some snow gear tips! Tip #!: Keep having your child practice zipping up their own coat. It makes a huge difference when we're trying to get packed up at the end of the day or when we're trying to head out to recess if the children are able to get dressed and zip their own coats. Hopefully we won't need our snow gear just yet, but when it is snow gear time, we use the following posters when putting on our gear, so that the students are able to get dressed as independently as possible.

Thanks for reading!

Have a great week!
