We first want to thank everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to meet with us and discuss your child. We loved getting the chance to get to know you and your families better and talk about your amazing kiddos! Thank you for trusting us with them.

Our October studies have started by studying mammals. We learned that a mammal has fur or hair, is born alive, drinks their mother’s milk, and is warm blooded. Ms. Sadie taught us all about horses; their different sizes, what they are used for, and how they are taken care of. We also explored different kinds of marine mammals such as dolphins, manatees and even the platypus (the only mammal that lays eggs!).

Next we have started to study the esqueleto or skeleton. Our bones protect our internal organs and we have bones of every size! BIG bones like our FEMUR, and little bones like our stapes in our middle ear. Ms. Julie brought out Mr. Esqueleto and we got to see all of the bones in our bodies! We learned that bones are made of different kinds of marrow. The cranium is made up of eight different bones and serves a very important function: protecting our brain! We have learned about the rest of our skeleton as well as all of our organs. Our bodies are pretty amazing.

Fall is in full swing! We are all enjoying the cooler weather. In the mornings our friends have the opportunity to spend time in the outdoor classroom. This classroom is in the shade all morning, and is veeerrry cool. Your child will need to wear a jacket or sweatshirt/sweater in order to use this classroom in the morning. If your child does not have appropriate clothing, he or she will not be able to go visit the outdoor classroom. Please make sure that this jacket/sweatshirt/sweater is labeled!
