Theme
~ Woodland Animals
Throughout
this month we will be learning all about “Woodland Animals”. Some topics of discussion will include,
learning about different animal characteristics such as size (small or large),
color (brown fur, blue feathers, stripes, etc.) and type of body cover (fur or
feathers). Different animal habitats
(i.e. where an animal lives – in a tree, on the ground, under the ground, etc.)
as well as what animals like to eat and what happens during the cold winter
months.
The
children will have numerous opportunities to participate in many theme related
activities such as, Woodland Animal Memory, “Animal Sounds” listening BINGO
game, drawing woodland animal scenes, creating a woodland mural, making animal
puppets, building animal homes and much, much more!!
School Reminders
Please REMEMBER to send your child into
school everyday dressed to play outside!! Coats, snow pants (when there is snow on the ground), hats, mittens,
boots, etc. We try to go outside every
day, weather permitting. Make sure to LABEL all your
child’s belongings!!
If you send your child into school wearing
boots, PLEASE don’t forget to pack a pair of shoes/sneakers in his/her backpack
to change into. For Safety Reasons, we
ask that you NOT send in slippers.
Franklin Food Pantry Donations

for donations of non-perishable food items for the Franklin Food Pantry. Food items can be dropped off in the main
