Columbus Day
2016-10-10 00:00 - 23:59 UTC
IN 1492
In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.
He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.
A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.
Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.
Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.
Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.
October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!
“Indians! Indians!” Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.
But “India” the land was not;
It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.
The Arakawa natives were very nice;
They gave the sailors food and spice.
Columbus sailed on to find some gold
To bring back home, as he’d been told.
He made the trip again and again,
Trading gold to bring to Spain.
The first American? No, not quite.
But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.

Our local fire department stops by for a visit, and brings along some very cool equipment to show off! The kids love seeing, touching and climbing into a real fire engine. After a brief safety demonstration our local fire department lets the children ask questions, hold gear, and explore the fire fighting equipment. From turning on the siren, to hugging their real life hero, our kids have a blast when the fire truck visits!

Fairy Tale Princess Visit
2016-09-28 00:00 - 23:59 UTC
From the classic Cinderella to the ever so popular Princess Ana, ABC opens its doors to a bit of fairy tale fun! Even our young prince charming’s get in on the excitement when the princesses visit, hanging on their every words as they read themed stories and lead the group in a fun singalong. We encourage our little princesses to come dressed up in their favorite princess attire to join in the festivities. Parents please keep in mind that tennis shoes or safe footwear should still be worn, even by a princess. Class times will be posted outside each door, and parents are encouraged to come and participate as well! In addition if your child is not regularly scheduled to attend school on the day of the visit, you are invited to still bring them for the event. We would ask that you stay with them, and enjoy the fun!

Bring a Pet to School
2016-09-19 00:00 - 2016-09-23 23:59 UTC
Dogs and cats and snakes oh my! During Pet week in September we throw open the doors and let all our animal friends come to school and visit. Ms. Mary can bring her little lamb, and Ms. Muffat her 8 legged arachnid, but we do ask that the visit is limited to a specific time slot. In addition we ask that an adult stays to supervise the pet for the visit. Ponies? No problem! Land tortuous? Bring it on! We are all about bringing in part of the child’s home life into the classroom and sharing it with everyone to strengthen the community bond we are so proud of here at ABC. Some important things to remember during pet week are:

Safety first! You know your animal best, if you feel that Fido may not like a dozen two year olds feeling his ears, best to tell the teacher in advance. This way the children know to stand back and look rather than rush in and touch. For smaller pets, use your best judgment. Some three year olds have trouble gauging how hard their squeezing the hamster, but a five year old knows when to loosen their grip.
Supervision: you are responsible for your animal during the visit, which means you can’t bring out Sylvester the snake and then ‘lose track’ of where he slithered off too. Keep your pet’s close, where you can respond to their needs or anxiety quickly. The teacher’s main job will be to contain the joyful exuberance of the children who want to pet, squish, touch, pinch, hug, stroke, and toss your pet; therefore we will need your help keeping your pet calm and friendly.
Communicate! If you’re pet tends to shed or maybe they are super friendly and like to lick, tell the teacher in advance so they can prep the children on what rules are in place. If you know your pet will do better with a small group, giving the teacher a heads up means she can arrange for smaller group sizes and rotate the children. Come prepared! There will be a million and one questions asked about your pet, and the children will be looking to you to answer. So have a few quick facts on Sushi the goldfish and why he swims in circles, or how Muscles the Hamster eats carrots when he’s nervous.

As always we love to bring our families into the classroom to share their unique knowledge and experiences, so bring on the feathers, fur, and fins, it’s the Pet invasion!

Patriots Day: Wear Red/White/Blue
2016-09-09 00:00 - 23:59 UTC
In honor of September 11th/Patriots day, we will be wearing Red/White/Blue on Friday September 9th. We encourage all of our families and children to participate. We will join with the rest of the nation, remembering the anniversary of the catastrophic terrorist attacks on the USA on the 11th of September, 2001. ABC proudly supports military families and those who have served, or are actively serving to protect our country. This is one of the many days where we take a moment to honor their sacrifice, as well as the memory of our fallen heroes. God Bless America!
In Rememberance

Read with Grandparents Week
2016-09-05 00:00 - 2016-09-09 23:59 UTC
While we celebrate our grandparents every day, sometimes it’s nice to set aside a special time that’s just for them! Here at ABC we believe in building a strong community with our families. That includes our extended family members who do not come into school on a consistent basis. So during the week of September 6th-9th grandparents are invited to sign up in their grandchild’s room for a ‘read with grandparents’ day. In addition there are a variety of times available in each classroom to best work around everyone schedule; so check in with your child’s teacher to confirm what time is best.
This is a great chance for grandma or grandpa to come into the classroom and interact with the children. We invite them to bring their experience, wisdom, and personality to share with the new generation! Grandparents are encouraged to bring a favorite book from home (keeping in mind the appropriateness, and age of the classroom.) Of course we have a multitude of books available in the classroom and MPR to share if they would like to borrow one for the day! Your child will love being able to share their grandparents with their friends. This is a great opportunity for children who may not have, or be in contact with their own grandparents, to share in the joy of Papa and Nana telling a story.
