November News
From The Little Warriors
2009
Our November curriculum focus will be “Trains”. We will explore the
following concepts:
• Types of trains
• People who work on trains
• How many cars are on a passenger trains?
• Where do trains go and what do they carry?
• What makes a train run?
• How are tracks made?
We will design our own passenger train and incorporate math with train
tickets and seating assignments.
Our students will also explore the Thanksgiving holiday as well as other
family holiday traditions. We will design and laminate place mats as well as
write poems about this special holiday.

Please remember to send a coat with your child each day as we will attempt to
have outside time each day. We will also utilize the walking track on days
when it’s raining too heavy and or too cold (below 35). It is important that
your child wear tennis shoes or comfortable walking shoes each day.
Our snack/leader/show n tell list is attached: If you are unable to provide
snacks on your child’s day, please let me know and I will bring in snacks.
You may provide juice along with a snack if you wish. When we do not have
juice, the children have water. Your child is the leader and show n tell
person on his/her snack day. This is very important to them so please keep
the list posted and remind them of their day when it arrives.
