Dear Chesterbrook Academy Families,
Where did September go??? We had so much learning fun in this back to school season that the month of September has flown by. October is upon us and we are so excited for the learning to continue. Fall is my favorite season because of the plethora of sensory experiences the students get to encounter. Seeing the leaves change color. Hearing the crunch of the leaves as we step on them. Feeling the crisp cool air and the insides of slimy pumpkins. Smelling the scents of pies baking. And tasting the delicious flavors of apple and pumpkin. Throughout the month, teachers will use the fall season to boost learning, from sorting and graphing leaves by color to exploring the insides of a pumpkin and planting pumpkin seeds to watch them grow and experience firsthand the life cycle of a plant.
We have many fun activities planned throughout the month of October:
Fire Prevention Week: October 7-11
Pumpkin week: October 14-18
Pumpkin Contest: October 21-25
Picture Day: October 28
Costume Parade: October 31
Our Extra Fun Extra Curricular activities will continue throughout October:
Soccer Shots – Tuesdays at 10am
The Music Experience – Wednesdays at 3:15pm
Lil’ Sports – Friday at 9:30am
Thank you for your ongoing support.
