Halloween Festivities!

Tomorrow is our big Halloween bash! We can't wait to see you all dressed up in your costumes!

Here are some reminders for tomorrow's party and activities:

• Please bring in all of your contributing food items to our kitchen upstairs. Both lunch and snack will not be needed tomorrow since we will be having what we signed up. Here is the link to the food party list for your reference.
• Please come already dressed in your costumes by the time you drop off. You may bring in a change of clothes if your child desires a wardrobe change at some point during the day :)
• Parents contributing to the Trunk or Treat: Please meet with the office for official scheduling and additional questions regarding set up and parking.
• The Parade and Trunk or Treat will begin at 10:00 AM and will run until 11:00 AM.
• The Class Lunch Party will begin immediately after, and will run from 11:00 AM until 12:30 PM.

Show and Tell Letter Dd for Homework Tomorrow! We know its a lot, but feel free to keep your Show and Tell's simple -- there is a lot going on tomorrow morning but the students have been requesting to do their Show and Tell letter Dd since Monday's make-up day for letter Cc.

It's Tuesday!

Hello Parents! Sorry for the delay in updates yesterday -- we had a very busy day of moving learning centers and expanding our classroom! We are working with the office to create a more spacious environment during our scheduled creative art, circle time, and small focus group sessions, and will be giving parents a detailed report if there are any major changes that happen within our room.

For now, we just have a few quick notes and schedule change reminders:

• Morning drop offs and breakfast will be taking place in Ms. Jessica's new room, the former Raptors class. This room is on the first floor, second door on your left. Please continue to drop off lunches and bookbags/jackets upstairs in our classroom before dropping your child off in Ms. Jessica's room downstairs. Thank You!!!
• Our lunch schedule is now officially 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM Monday-Friday with a wind-down period to rest time after. 
• We will wake up/end rest period at 1:30 PM instead of 2:00 PM (giving children who are alseep time to naturally wake up from this point until snack).
• Snack will now take place from 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM

Please see Ms. Frenzel if you have any questions!

Happy Monday!

Welcome to another school week! We apologize for the mess in our room -- we are expanding our learning space into the former Pre-k 3 class! We are excited to share new learning activities with you all and can't wait to show you guys our finished products.

NO HOMEWORK TONIGHT

Just a reminder: morning drop offs from 8-8:30 will be in the Raptors room (second door on the left first floor)

It's Friday!

Have an awesome weekend! When we start a new week on Monday, our literacy focus will be on the letter Dd!

NO HOMEWORK THIS WEEKEND! Enjoy!

Show and Tell & Pizza Day Tomorrow!

We had an awesome time pumpkin picking at Secor Farms! We hope that you all enjoy decorating your pumpkins this weekend!

Class Reminders for Tomorrow:

• Tomorrow will be Show and Tell letter Cc. Some great examples of the letter Cc we discussed today were: cars, cat, crayons, chair, corn, cranberry, craisins, coloring book, chocolate milk, et... Please bring in something that starts with the letter Cc!
• Pizza day tomorrow for students who attended the field trip! No lunch needed tomorrow! 

Field Trip Tomorrow

Tomorrow is our pumpkin picking field trip to Secor Farms in Mahwah. Since our field trip will interfere with our weekly Show and Tell, we will be having Show and Tell this Friday instead. If your child is not scheduled to attend school on Fridays, please bring your Show and Tells on Monday or the next day you are scheduled to come in. Thank you!

Important Field Trip Reminders:

• We are leaving promptly at 9:00 A.M. and are asking families to drop their children off by no later than 8:30 A.M. to ensure a smooth and stress free morning. As with any field trip, we will be taking attendance and using the bathroom before boarding the bus, as well as assigning partners and doing brown bag lunch checks. Brown bag lunch reminders can be found below.
• We will return by 2:00 PM and will have snack upon our arrival.
• If you are picking up your child at this time, we kindly ask all parents to please allow students to enter the building for attendance accountability and safety purposes -- before releasing them. This is also to give us time to retrieve your child's pumpkin that they picked today :)

"Brown Bag Lunch" Reminders:

• Yesterday I sent home a notice reminder in Teacher Folders regarding brown bag lunches. Please make sure all lunches are fully disposable and that you do not pack any containers or thermoses for your children tomorrow.
• We ask that you pack the following: 1 sandwich, 1 drink, (and if you feel your child needs it) 1 small snack.
• We have a vending machine in the teacher's lounge for bottled water and drinks if you need them in case of a last minute emergency. 
• Please label your child's lunch with their name and refrain from using overly large brown bags. Ziplocks are also acceptable since it does not take up too much space in our portable coolers.

*PLEASE EMAIL ME  TONIGHT AT prekfrenzel@gmail.com IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING OUR TRIP TOMORROW. I promise  to respond :)

Pizza Day Tomorrow will be rescheduled for Friday October 23rd so no lunch will be needed this Friday if your child attended the field trip.

Thank You Parents! 

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

No Homework Tonight 

Class Reminders:

• Please check all student folders tonight and keep any notices of communication home. We will be having Show and Tell on Friday instead of Monday, in lieu of our Pumpkin Picking Field trip this Thursday. All students who are not scheduled on a Friday may present Show and Tell the following Monday and will continue to get credit on their sticker charts.
• Pumpkin Picking trip this Thursday! I will provide a full update tomorrow. Please sign up if you have not already done so!

As a reminder, these are the recent changes in our Halloween week -- we thank you in advance for all your participation!
