November ’25
Director’s Desk
If November is even half as lovely as October, we’re in for a marvelous month! Halloween is now a memory. We really believe it’s the children’s favorite holiday despite the stress caused by all that sugar. They all enjoyed dressing up in costumes, singing songs and eating special treats!
November conjures up images of colorful leaves and crisp days. In keeping with tradition, each class will study seasonal changes and explore what they are thankful for from their unique perspective.
What children eat for breakfast has an immediate and dramatic effect on behavior. We understand how difficult mornings can be, so please help us help your child! Knowing how a child starts the day can add to a teacher’s patience and understanding. If your child has skipped breakfast, or enjoyed a sugary start, please let us know!
Sincerely, Leigh
Reminders
SCHOOL CLOTHES: On the occasion your child needs a change of clothes and there isn’t any in his/her book bag, we will use our stash of Beach Manor clothes. Please remember to bring these back to school; we use them often. We are always in need of boys and girls clothing to add to this stash (size 2-6). If you are cleaning out closets and would like to donate, please feel free to drop them off! We usually need pants, shirts, socks, and shoes.
KINDERGARTEN PARENTS: Now is the time to start looking into first grade options for your child. If you want information regarding the various private schools in the area, see me.
HALLOWEEN CANDY: Many of us now have an abundance of candy at home! Please pay attention to the ingredients and remember our nut free policy.

What we are learning
2’s- Ms. Kendall and Ms. Sammy Mother’s Day Out classes have made incredible progress. It’s wonderful to see how quickly the two-year old’s seem to grow. They studied themselves in September, looked beyond themselves in October and this month they will explore their homes. It’s a gradual evolution away from an awareness of themselves towards an awareness of their environment. Great things are happening here. It’s exciting!!!!
3’s- The Three-year-old classes explore their community as they study People in the Neighborhood. Firemen, policemen, doctors, and dentists will come to share their jobs and teach the children safety. The threes then finish the month with their favorite activity on a grand scale—a Thanksgiving feast.
4’s- Ms. Kara, and Ms. Ivonne classes discover the fantasy world of dragons and unicorns this month. Medieval knights and castles come alive for them, and they’ll find that most dragons are rather sensitive and lovable creatures. The children finish the unit convinced that blueberry muffins keep dragons (as well as children) happy. The month ends with pilgrims, Native Americans, and an endless variety of turkeys.
PreK- Our prekindergarten children have learned an incredible amount about endangered species and the habitats necessary for their survival. Ms. Stephanie class will now focus on tropical rainforests. The children become aware of the fragility of this unique ecosystem as well as experts on bugs, snakes, and other inhabitants of this vanishing habitat. The month ends with pilgrims, Native Americans, and a Thanksgiving feast.
K- Ms. Jessica kindergarten class explores nature as the original Americans found it. We learn what the Native Americans discovered when they arrived on this continent and how they adapted their lifestyles to their environment. The emphasis is on the culture, clothes, and lives of different Indian nations.
Spanish, Ms. Maria – Fall is here and we are ready to introduce a new topic. “It’s all about Food and setting a table”. We will also use some popular expressions, while eating in Spanish. “Buen Apetito!”
