Center
Dear Families,
We are looking forward to Fall Conferences that are
happening in November. Please see the sign up
sheet on your child’s classroom door to sign up for a
time to meet with the teachers. Each conference will
take 15-20 minutes, teachers will discuss your child’s
learning and development and you will have the op-
portunity to plan some goals for the rest of the
school year.
The Thanksgiving Holiday will be here before we
know it! As a reminder, our center will close at
5:00pm on Wednesday, November 21st, and will be
closed on Thursday, November 22nd and Friday, No-
vember 23rd.
As cooler weather approaches, please keep in mind
that the children still continue to go outside each day.
Heavier jackets/coats, hats, and mittens will be im-
portant for outside exploration.
Please make sure all items are
labeled with your child’s name.

Daylight Savings Time
Sunday, November 4th,
we set our clocks
BACK 1 hour !
It’s getting cold outside The seasons are changing and the cold
weather will be here soon. The children will
go outside every day, so it is important for
your child to dress appropriately. Please
bring in a warm coat, hat, gloves and boots.
Also, remember to replace your child’s
spare clothes from summer with winter
ones, and please label all of your child’s
clothing and nap items with their name.
Remember to use the feature in Tadpoles when your child
will not be at school. You don’t have to even call the center.
It is so simple and helpful!
Pre-K begins at 8:30am. The children in Red and Purple need to be at
school to begin their day with their classmates at 8:30am. This is so im-
portant to develop and support the academic growth and social/
emotional growth so we can prepare them for Kindergarten.
EXECUTIVE FUNCTION
In last month’s newsletter, I introduce to you what Executive Function is
and why it is important. Going forward each month, I would like to use
this section to give some examples of how you can practice with and chal-
lenge your child in the area of executive function.
Some great games to play at home with your child are:
*Simon Says *Musical Chairs (get the whole family to play!) *Freeze Dance These are great ways to get a child to work on EF. For example, in Simon Says, children have to switch back and forth between following your direc-tions (when you say Simon Says) and not following your directions (when you don’t say Simon Says). They have to keep the Simon Says rule in mind, and inhibit their tendency to respond. You will notice that your child will get better with practice. Challenging your child’s EF skills can easily be done at home by providing them with age-appropriate support. Such as, nudging the correct puzzle piece closer to them so that the child can “discover” the correct piece themselves. This is giving them “just enough, not too much” support and keeps your child exercising their EF skills. Just remember, children devel-op their EF skills by using them!
Costume Parade The children had so much fun during our Costume Parade!
They visited several offices in Building 9, 13, 14, and 11, and
even got to go visit Dr.
Johnson in Building 12!
