October 2015 Newsletter

1. This month we have school pictures Tuesday, October 13th
at 8:30am. We also start our E.L.I. field trips
this month where we take a field trip to a Cleveland museum each month thanks to a grant provided to
us through University Circle. Our first trip is Monday, October 19th
, and we leave Kendal at 9am. If
your child is not here by then we will regretfully have to leave them behind.
Please remember to watch your speed as you are driving through Kendal to drop-off or pick-up your
child. The speed limit is 20 mph.
I hope you all have a great month, and we are so glad you and your family chose Kendal!
Welcome and have a great month, Jeni Hoover

Trick-or-Treating.

Healthy Tidbit for the Month:
Healthy experts tell us that fruits and vegetables with the
most pigment – or color – have the most vitamins and
minerals. How many colors do you eat at home?
Challenge this Month:
Grab a sheet of paper and graph what colors of fruits and
vegetables that you eat at home with your child. Try to eat
every color of the rainbow during the month of October.

2. From the KELC Teachers:
From the Classroom:
Our new school year is off to a very busy and exciting start. We have welcomed many new friends to
our class. The children have become familiar with the classroom, our schedule, our classroom rules, and
made new friends as we did the many activities in our study of Beginning the Year. We have made
classroom books which include family pets, our homes, and also what we enjoy doing with our friends at
school. To help the children become more familiar with the Kendal Community we went on a hunt for our
missing Gingerbread Man. The children really enjoyed finding the notes he had left in each area giving
clues to where he had gone to next. Our Kendal Grandfriends also really enjoy this activity, because the
children stop and ask them if they have seen the missing gingerbread man.
Our trips to the apple orchard were a big hit as the children enjoyed running inside the hay maze,
riding on the wagon, and then picking apples and pumpkins. We would like to thank all those who came
with us. Your help is always greatly appreciated.
