Goddard School, Cherry Hill, NJ - Newsletter

In your mailboxes are copies of this year's holiday fundraiser catalog complete with order forms. The fundraiser runs from Monday the 1st until Friday the 12th. You are encouraged to share the catalog with family, friends, and coworkers. The money raised this fall will go towards the purchase of new toys, games, and books for the classrooms. The items that are ordered will be delivered to the school in early December in time for the winter holidays. Payment is in cash or check form, with checks made payable to "The Goddard School". If you have any questions, please see Ms. Brooke in the office. Thank you for your support!

This month's special lunch week will be held Monday the 15th to Friday the 19th. The menu, as always, is as follows: Monday - Spaghetti, Tuesday - Nuggets and fries, Wednesday - Lo Mein and wontons, Thursday - Macaroni & Cheese, corn and cornbread, and Friday - Pizza. Cost is $3 per day or $14 for the week. Nuggets and fries will be offered every Tuesday and pizza will be offered every Friday. However, on Tuesday the 23rd, instead of nuggets, we will celebrate Thanksgiving with a turkey feast. Cost is $3 and a vegetarian option will be offered as well. Don't forget, payment is in cash only! We hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday with family and friends!

We are in need of extra clothing to keep at school as spare changes of clothing for children who have accidents or get extra messy during art. We have many items of spring and summer clothing, but nothing that would be appropriate for the fall or winter. Items that we need include, but are not limited to: Shirts (long sleeve, short sleeve and sweatshirts), pants, onezies, and socks. Clothes are especially needed for the 2 to 4 age group. Underwear is always needed, but it must be new in the package (the dollar store is a great place to find inexpensive packs). We appreciate anything that you are able to donate to us! Thank you in advance!

The deadline for early payment discount for December's tuition is Wednesday, November 24th. If payment is made by this date, you may deduct $15 from your tuition.

Please do not forget to send in seasonally appropriate changes of clothes to keep in your child's cubby for those extra messy days! The weather is changing and we want our children to be warm! Also, on extra chilly days, don't forget to bundle them up for outside play time!

It's hard to believe November is already here! Autumn is flying by in the infant room. Just another reminder to make sure that your child's cubby has plenty of weather-appropriate clothing in it -- at least 2 complete outfits (including socks). Thanks in advance! We plan on doing lots of fun sensory activities this month including tasting pumpkin pie and vanilla ice cream-yummy! We will be doing lots of fun and messy hands-on art projects including finger painting, painting with sponges and pudding art. Tons of fun!

Ms. Vivienne, Ms. Beth, Ms. Faith & Ms. Gerri

Hi Everyone! These past two months have been so much fun and we have lots more excitement coming up! We will be creating with Jell-O and pudding, making fruit loops and Cheerios necklaces, making chocolate bars and lollipops. We also will be taste testing all different kinds of fruits and ice cream flavors. in addition we will be painting turkeys and making pilgrims. I also want to congratulate Paige and Sarah Kate for their wonderful work in our class and wish them the best of luck in Toddler 1. We will miss you girls!

We wish Leo and Sean good luck as you journey to Toddler 2. We're sure you will make us proud! A very warm welcome to Sarah Kate and Paige! For the month of November we will be sampling all types of food. We will be decorating cookies, scooping ice cream, and making rice krispy treats. We will feel the different textures of broccoli, cauliflower, and pepper. We will also create with Indian Corn and paint. We will make scarecrow hats from yarn and glue - fun! Please change cubby clothes from summer to fall and we will be going outside in the chilly air, so make sure your child has a jacket, hat and gloves. Lastly, please make sure that ALL of your child's possessions have their first and last names on them (including cups, bowls, and clothing).

Thanks!
Ms. Desiree, Ms. Rose, and Ms. Melissa

Get your tummies ready for a month full of treats. We will be exploring restaurants with fun games and new items in our kitchen area and Tummy Treats to satisfy our sweet tooth. We will also talk about how we go food shopping with mommy or daddy and how they pay for our food. In our room we will have a pretend cash register and play money to pretend that we are going food shopping. November is an important month for giving thanks. We will talk about what it means to be thankful and how we celebrate Thanksgiving with our families. Happy Turkey Day!

Do you believe November is already here? Well, we have a lot of fun activities planned for this month! We'll be going "shopping" at the market, planting crops and telling the class what we are most thankful for. We are also going to be learning letters G, H, and I while reading many of our wonderful preschool books. Our musical review will include silly turkey songs. A plentiful feast will be planned for the end of the month. We hope everyone has a great month, getting started on your holiday plans!

Indians and Pilgrims will join us to celebrate the first Thanksgiving. Our letters this month will be G, H, and I. Our numbers are 4, 5, and 6. We'll be adding to our "sight" words by reading from our Literature Series, a book called Brown Bear. There will be lots of colonial and Indian crafts to make. We're looking forward to a great Thanksgiving and a great November.

Kindergarten We welcome the month of November with lots of exciting things to learn and do. This is the month we will be voting for our new President. Kindergartners will be learning the process of voting and doing their own voting in class. In math we will be working with numbers, counting, and graphing. In Language Arts we will continue working with our high frequency words. Thanksgiving is a time for learning about the Indians and Pilgrims and about the first Thanksgiving and the feast that the two groups shared. November will be a month of great food tasting opportunities. We will certainly enjoy this month! We are still waiting word on when Ms. Chris will be able to return to school. We will keep you posted with any and all information. Ms. Chris and Ms. Brenda Parents, Ms. Chris is expected to return when she has clearance from her doctor. Right now, we are not 100% sure of when this will be. In the interim, Ms. Brenda has all of Ms. Chris's lesson plans and the class will continue with their academics as usual.
