Pre-K and K/1 News!

What have we been up to?

September was an exciting month filled with introductions, activities and getting to know the classroom. Pre-K has begun Letter of the Week! We have been finding words that begin with the Letter of the Week and write them on our big letter in the classroom.  We also have a Letter on the outside of the door and would like to encourage you and your child to think of words together to write on the letter.  We are focusing on the letter sounds and practicing how to write it.  Please feel free to encourage your child to find an item at home with the "letter of the week"

Pre-K has also been assigned daily jobs during our Afternoon Meeting.  Each day a child has a chance to do the Calendar, schedule, weather, and message.  It is a good way to review the days of the week and months.   

What to look forward to:

October is a Spooktakular month! While continuing our letter of the week, we have also been doing activities relating to fall, pumpkins, spiders, ghosts and candy!  We have also spending extra time outdoors observing nature and the season of Fall.

We have all been talking about our costumes and getting excited about trick-or–treating. Pre-K and K/1 will have a Halloween party on  Thursday October 29th, 2009.  Please have your child bring in a costume for the party!  Please feel free to send in some healthy goodies to make our party more enjoyable.  Here are some great suggestions; Fruit Salad, Veggie Kabobs, Pizza, Chicken Nuggets, Cheese Sticks, Milk for shakes,  Chips, Popcorn and anything else your child enjoys.  PLEASE NOTE THAT WE CAN NOT ACCEPT ITEMS THAT HAVE NUTS OR PEANUTS.  All food can be placed in the HEDP fridge on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning (before 10am).

Important News and Notes:

If your child will be absent or will not attend HEDP please call or email as soon as possible.  We can be reached at 617-277-5381 or email at hedp@brookline.k12.ma.us

Please also remember to Sign out your child daily in the sign out book.
