Apples, apples, apples! The children at the center have been studying apples all month! The older children even made apple tarts with pastry dough and apple filling.
We incorporated apples into our math and science lessons, so the children played games where they count and make patterns with the different color apples. Both classes taste-tested different varieties and created graphs to show their favorites. Surprisingly Ms. Brittney’s and Ms. Muzhda’s class picked the green Granny Smith apples as their favorite while Ms. Shanika’s Young Scholars preferred the Red Delicious variety.

What’s Happening at the Center? Family Halloween Party
Thursday, Oct 25th
6:00pm – 7:30pm
Join us for tricks and treats! Bring your little ghosts and witches to play Halloween games with us on Thursday, Oct. 25th from 6:00pm – 7:30pm. We will have fun for the whole family!
A light dinner will be served. Let us know if you can join us!
we deliver to in-home childcare providers in the 24:1 area. We have partnered with these childcare providers in order to ensure all of the children in the Normandy Schools Collaborative area are ready for kindergarten. In September, we delivered science activity kits with lesson plans ideas and the ingredients to make play dough, slime, and other messy, sensory activities.
If you know of any registered, in-home childcare providers in the area, let us know. We would like to help support them and the young children in their care. Ask Gail about this Outreach Program.
ASQ Questionnaires
Has your child been screened to make sure he/she is meeting all of the early development milestones? The teachers have completed these simple questionnaires for the children attending the center. See your child’s teacher for the individual results! We also ask that each parent fill out the questionnaire as well. This makes sure that we see how your child is developing at both home and school!
If you are an in-home provider and would like to have the children in your care (between the ages of 0-5 years old) screened, talk to Gail or Brittney at our next visit. We can provide you with the questionnaire that will look at your child’s development in the areas of communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal-social skills.

This workshop offers an in-depth look at the evaluation process, qualifying for an IEP, the many components that must be addressed in the IEP document, as well as how progress will be monitored. As a result of this training, parents will gain a better understanding of their role as an equal participant in the IEP Process.
