Autumn Is Here

Hello all,

October is now upon us and it is beginning to look like autumn inside our Ambrose
classrooms.Books about pumpkins and apples fill students book boxes and poems
about falling leaves adorn the walls. October also brings us Fire Safety Month.
The Winchester Fire Department will be visiting Ambrose on October 11th to teach
the students kid friendly ways to be safe in an emergency situation.

Lastly, October marks the beginning of the annual Global Read Aloud. Ambrose classrooms
are excited to be participating in this inspiring event.  For six weeks more than 1.5 million kids
across the globe will listen to a read aloud in their classrooms.  Our Kindergarten through
grade two students can’t wait to find a comfy spot and listen to their teachers read them stories
and the older students beg  their teachers to read just one more page. Reading at home
with your child is equally important and will help them in all areas of their learning at school.
It is also a great way to spend time together.  I hope you and your family have some
time this long weekend to enjoy the foliage,some football and maybe a book or two.

Best,

Mrs. Phelan :)
