Hello Parents!!

The CLASS Academy staff would like to thank everyone who helped with the Silent Auction!! The auction was a huge success and raised $35,000 dollars to help the school!  Wow!  We had a blast, and we hope that you did too!

The Balloons and Toucans have been having fun while participating in our activities over the past couple of weeks.  We have been learning about leaves and trees in science, as well as practicing our nursery rhymes during the rhythm theme.  Next, we will be learning about transportation and the different types of vehicles that are used regularly.  The students will also be learning about nutrition during their science activities over the next couple of weeks.  The children will be introduced to the food pyramid, and will learn to sort by categorizing the food groups using the nutrition pyramid.  Also, we will also be incorporating many "Fall" themes into our daily activities and art projects throughout November.

On a completely different note...the Balloons and Toucans also have recently changed the daily schedule so that the students can have gym in the morning instead of after lunch.  The teachers have noticed that the students are much more productive with gym in the morning and art in the afternoon.  In order to accommodate this new schedule, a few of the other subjects have also been shifted.  The new schedule seems to work well with the energy level of the students, and it allows the children to get their wiggles our first thing in the morning!!

A Few Things:

CLASS Academy has recently been developing a "child safety project".  The goals of this project are to help the students and parents to become familiarized with a few main safety issues.  You may speak with your teacher or the office staff about more details on this project.

Please take home your scarecrow supplies if you have not done so.

Please bring crackers on Friday the 22nd for the butter making activities.
