We ask that you follow these guidelines: no masks, no weapons, children need to be able to unzip/unbutton independently for the bathroom, no inflatables, and children need appropriate shoes to go outside for recess.
We will spend some time on Friday doing pumpkin themed activities and a special snack time. If you would like to donate an item for our snack you can click here. Donations are never expected, but always appreciated!

There is a brand new Daisy Troop in Sheboygan, 8580, that is open to Kindergarteners at Étude and Pigeon River. They asked that we share the following:
Starting in October, we meet every second and fourth Thursday from 3:45pm-5:15pm in room 124. On of the co-leaders, Heather, is at Étude from 3:15pm-3:45pm to do something active and outdoorsy with Étude gals as they wait. Girl Scouts of Manitou is all about friendship, adventure, and leading with your interests. For more information, email the troop co-leaders at hsheetshanlon@gmail.com & bdeyoung87@gmail.com, or visit gsmanitou.org. Here are some fun facts about the co-leaders.
Fire Department Visit
The fire department visited our kindergarten classes! In kindergarten they watch a fire safety video and talked about meeting spots at home in case there is a fire emergency. We also got a chance to sit in the fire truck and learn a little bit about the fire gear they wear.
Math
In math, we practiced representing numbers 0-10 in a few different ways (ten frames, with fingers, writing numbers). We also introduced tally marks and how they can be used to count groups of five. In number corner, we continued our leaf patterns and working on directionality.
Project-Based Learning
During our PBL times we painted some realistic Painted Lady butterflies, learned more about the attributes of an insect (head, thorax, abdomen, 6 legs, antennae, and compound eyes) and started one of our final projects for this unit, an Eric Carle inspired insect book. The kids were really excited to start using all of the beautiful painted paper they created last week for their insects!
Choice Time
At choice time, I got a lot of "Ms. Hattabaugh take a picture of what we made" so enjoy!
