Hello <strong>McKenzie</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> Preschool Families!<br />

October was a fun <strong>and</strong> busy month at school. We started off by learning about Thanksgiving. We learned about people<br />

<strong>and</strong> things that we can be thankful for. The children designed masks, learned songs <strong>and</strong> created centerpieces for their<br />

tables. Next we had orange day <strong>and</strong> explored many fun <strong>and</strong> creative things to do with the color orange <strong>and</strong> enjoyed getting<br />

dressed up in our best orange clothes. Finally we ended the month with amazing Halloween Parties. Everyone looked<br />

awesome dressed up in their costumes <strong>and</strong> enjoyed amazing festive treats provided by the parents. Each class did a small<br />

Halloween performance for their families, which was a big success. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed time chatting <strong>and</strong> spending<br />

a spooky afternoon together before a night of Trick or Treating.<br />

This month we will be looking at <strong>Community</strong> Helpers. The children will be learning about safety in their home, <strong>and</strong> safety<br />

in the community. We will also be looking at specific community helpers such as Fire Fighters, Police Officers, Paramedics,<br />

Airline Pilots, dental assistants <strong>and</strong> more. Through this unit we hope that the children will gain a better underst<strong>and</strong>ing of<br />

people <strong>and</strong> places in their community.<br />

In addition to all the fun events <strong>and</strong> activities, the children continue to work on learning their numbers, letters, <strong>and</strong> letter<br />

sounds <strong>and</strong> will continue to be involved in activities that include cooperation <strong>and</strong> friendship with each other. The preschool<br />

also has started gym time once per week. We all enjoy the opportunity to run around, play <strong>and</strong> be silly in a large, fun, <strong>and</strong><br />

safe space.<br />

Happy November Everyone<br />
