Hope Your Break Was Great!

I hope that you had a wonderful break.   It was great to have some time off, but I am ready to come back and get back to work.  


The children are doing a great job with their reading. They have been working hard at it.  You can see the pride and joy they feel when they are able to read the books.  


Their writing is also coming along.  I am seeing most children at least attempting to put beginning sounds.  They are many more who are hearing more that beginning sounds.  I looked at they progress they have made from September over break.  They have come a long way.  You should be proud of the work they are doing.  

Work Station

Work Station are up and running.  The children are doing great.  They know the expectations of each station.  The kids get right to work and work well together.  Here are a few shots from work stations.  Work stations will change through out the year. 

Halloween at PES

It is getting close to Halloween and the kids are getting excited.  Here at PES we have decided not to allow costumes due to the distraction in the learning.  Instead we are having a Black and Orange Day.  You can wear  a Halloween Shirt or just stick to clothes that are Black and Orange.  After Halloween, please keep your child's Halloween Candy at home.  Sending it in with your child does not follow our Wellness Policy and it will come back home in the lunch box. 

Firefighters

The Phippsburg Fire Department came to visit today.  They showed us some of their clothing and mask.  We got to hear what it sounds like when they are breathing.  They also talked about what to do in case there is a fire at home.  Your homework from them as a parent is to check the smoke dectector to see if the batteries are still good.  You are also to designate a meeting place at your home, if there is a fire.  This would be a place for the entire family to meet, if they had to get out of the house.  

The Firehouse Open house is Oct. 11 from 6-8.  Hope you are able to stop by.
