October's Themes

 

Community Helpers

Who are the important people in our community? This month's lesson will help your preschooler explore who aresome of the important people in our community and how they help us.

Plenty of Pumpkins

Big ones, fat ones, round ones! They come in all shapes and sizes but they all start out the same.  Explore how they grow from a little seed into one of ourfavorite Halloween decorations.


Letters: H. O. P                                 Number: 3
Shape: Rectangle                              Colors: Orange and Black

HOW YOU CAN HELP!

Help your toddler/preschooler take notice of Police Officers, Sanitation Workers, Crossing Guards, Construction Workers and Fire Fighters. Have general conversations with them about their importance and relevance in the community.

Allow your tastebuds to discover the power of pumpkin! Discover the many different uses of the pumpkin and share this information with your child.

Help is to bring emphasis to our letters, number, shape and colors of the month! Ex. "Tell Miss Nikki, Miss Cynthia or Miss Chelsea that 'H' says Hospital! Pumpkins are orange and rectangles have two longer sides and two shorter sides"

 

SAY CHEEEEEEEEZE!

Welcome New Scholars!

Little Archie's Clubhouse is getting bigger and better! Our pre-school group has expanded by one; please help me welcome Mr. Elijah Grant! He is focused and set for a brand new learning experience and his fellow students welcomed him with open minds.

Our Infant group has also expanded by one; Elijah's little brother, Jasiah Grant made his grand appearance and has brightened the smiles of his fellow babies. Awesome.

NEWS! Science is fun and innovating at Little Archie's Clubhouse. Theme for Spetember: Living Things Breathe and Grow.  Our scholars planted real seeds! First the little pots, 2 tablespoons of water, then fresh potting soil, then the holes, then the seeds then the final water and now the sun will do the rest.

 

 

The plants have been placed in direct sunlight. Each day the scholars will water their plants and wait for them to grow. We'll keep you posted on the progress.

NEWS! Social Studies focuses on the Family! We are exploring the many dynamics of families in all shapes and sizes. We are connecting our family members by generation and the children are learning more and more each day.
