Welcome, to “Trains” week! I’m excited to see you back in class after a long holiday weekend!
Housekeeping:
The Christmas Box House service project was extended to this Friday! Please, bring in your items to class! They will be delivered to The Christmas Box House during December. Thank you, to all of you who have donated! The Christmas Box house greatly appreciates your donations!!!
Winter semester starts January 8th! There is still room in the Rock Stars 1:00, Shooting Stars 2:00, and Superstars 4:00. The Rock Stars 3:00 class is full for winter semester. Remember, The Stars offers a Refer A Friend program that earns you money toward your tuition. Some of you have already earned $10 toward your winter semester! Thank you, for spreading the word!
Star School! I will be opening up a creative arts pre-school out of my home for the 2010-11 school year. It will be offered for children 3, 4, and 5 years of age. Star School will run on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30-12:30 with a "Lunch Bunch" option from 12:30-1:30. All Stars currently enrolled in the Friday programs will be eligible for priority enrollment to the pre-school starting at the end of January. I will have a detailed packed ready to be handed out to those interested on Friday! I am very excited about Star School!
Trains
Rock Stars, get ready to sing about trains, move like trains, sound like trains, and play with trains! We will enjoy singing songs, like: Down By The Station and I’ve Been Workin' On The Railroad. Rock Stars, will enjoy exploring conductor hats, bells, trains, and the tunnel during exploration! Art Circle will bring us some fun train stamps and decorations to allow the Rock Stars to create a train that looks just the way they like!
Superstars, we will be taking a train ride deep into the jungle where we will creatively move like trains maneuvering through animal filled jungles. We will enjoy singing songs, like: I’ve Been Workin’ On The Railroad and the Jungle Train Song. Each Superstar will take a turn being a conductor guiding us in zig-zag, straight, and curvy pathways. Superstars, will be introduced to the famous artist, Leonardo Da Vinci, who was famous for his paintings. They will be given paper, tempera paint, and many different tools to create their own masterpiece!
Thank you, for reading the blog! I will see you, Friday!!!

You may bring any of the following items to class and drop them in the blue bin: toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, soap for sensitive skin, new socks, new underwear, new jeans, new t-shirts, new sweatshirts (any size for the listed items).

I am Thankful!
The, I am Thankful class is a great way to teach children about the Thanksgiving Holiday! Integrating the arts adds fun and imagination to this loved tradition, by many. The USA and Canada are not the only countries who celebrate a holiday like this. The U.K., China, Korea, and India celebrate some kind of harvest festival, too. They just call it by different names.In class, we will explore what Thanksgiving is, the symbols of Thanksgiving, creatively move our bodies to explore aspects of Thanksgiving, ride our horses to Grandma’s house to the famous tune of Over the River and Through the Woods (originally, a song about Thanksgiving), enjoy a Thanksgiving Feast with our friends with pretend food and table settings, use our hands as stamps in creating our own visual art turkeys, and come together to listen to a Thanksgiving story.

Dog for a Day! Ruff!!!
Welcome, to Dog for a Day week! Dogs are a reoccurring theme in movies, commercials, books, songs, and many of our households! This is a great theme to explore through the arts.
Housekeeping:
Priority Enrollment starts November 6th and ends November 13th. You may register after November 13th, although, availability is not guaranteed. You may fill-out the “Returning Students” portion of the registration form and put it in your folder along with the 1st tuition payment.
Open Enrollment begins on November 14th for all new registrants. Any of your referrals will earn you $10 (per family) and you will receive a check back from The Stars after I have received their registration items.
We are still collecting items for The Christmas Box House. You may bring in items to support this service project for a few more weeks. The children housed at The Christmas Box House are in need of: toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and clothes. Thank you, for your support!
Your Halloween pictures will be edited and ready for viewing, shortly. I will email you the link and password once they are ready! The Stars were absolutely adorable in their Halloween costumes! I continue to be impressed with your dedication to your children by your commitment to furthering their development and growth. I see many positive interactions between you and your children weekly! Thank you!
Dog for a Day! This is a fun theme to engage children in exploring the arts! During creative movement, we will explore the element of size (large/small), run, sit, roll-over, sniff, fetch, and dig. For creative drama, we will explore the element of character by acting as a dog would to the song Oh, I Want to be a Dog! Music Circle will allow us the opportunity to explore the element of tempo (adagio & allegro) by singing some parts slow and some parts fast to the song BINGO! We will be making our own shakers during our creative art activity and use them as our own musical instruments! Some Dogs Do, is a wonderful story we will enjoy about a little dog who flies and when he tells his peers they do not believe him!
I am looking forward to seeing you on, Friday! Have a wonderful week!!!
