Meigs North Elementary

HUGE shoutout to Ms. Angie & Ms. Sara's Pre-K class for implementing their new outdoor centers! 🌞

Embracing the outdoors is a game-changer! 🌳 These centers foster physical growth, spark curiosity, and build social skills. We love seeing our little ones connect with nature through playful exploration! 🌼

Want to keep the outdoor learning going at home this beautiful fall weekend? Here are a few simple ideas!

🍁 Parent Tips for Fall Fun:

Go on a Nature Scavenger Hunt: Look for red leaves, bumpy acorns, long twigs, and fuzzy moss. How many different colors can you find?

Make a Leaf Pile: Raking leaves and jumping in the pile is a fantastic way to practice gross motor skills and have a blast!

Explore a Pumpkin Patch: Talk about the different shapes, sizes, and colors. Let your child pick their favorite one to take home and decorate.

Create a Fall Sensory Bin: Gather pinecones, leaves, and small gourds for a simple, hands-on activity that explores different textures.

Our Word of the Month for October is Courage. Courage is being brave enough to do what's right, even when it's hard or scary. It's about standing up for yourself and others, trying new things, admitting mistakes, and making choices that align with your values.
What does courage look like?
speaking up when someone is treated unfairly
trying something new even if you're nervous
admitting mistakes and taking responsibility
doing the right thing, even when no one is watching
