November 2026
November Edition
Can you believe it's already November?! October was such a great month here at the ACECC! From all things pumpkins to seeing our favorite book characters come to life on Books Alive Day, there were so many smiles throughout our building. These are the days that remind me just how special it is to be little!
November gives us a chance to slow down, practice gratitude, and appreciate the little things. Life gets busy between school, work, and everything in between, but I hope your family finds time to slow down and enjoy being together. Sometimes it's the little things, like baking something yummy together, playing a game, or snuggling up with a good book, that mean the most.
I am so thankful that you share your children with us each day. Our school is such a special place because of the children and families who fill it, and I feel lucky to be a part of it!
Wishing you and your family a wonderful November! 🧡
Love,
Mrs. Hundley
Reaching for the Stars!
One of our school goals is helping children recognize, build, and write their own name.
At the beginning of the year, only 47.5% of students were able to recognize their name. As of October, we are now up to 82.75%!! That's incredible growth!! We are now moving more into building and writing their names. Below are some new activities that you can try at home to help your child build and write their name!
Name Puzzle – Write each letter of your child’s name on a separate piece of paper or sticky note. Mix the letters up and have your child put them in the correct order.
Play-Doh Names – Roll Play-Doh into long “snakes” and use them to form each letter in your child’s name.
Rainbow Writing – Write your child’s name once, then have them trace over it several times using different colored crayons or markers.
Name with Blocks – Write one letter of your child’s name on each block, cup, or small piece of paper. Have your child line them up in the correct order.
Shaving Cream Writing – Spread a small amount of shaving cream on a table or tray and let your child practice writing their name with their finger.
Dot My Name – Write your child’s name in large letters. Have them trace the letters using dot markers, stickers, fingerprints, or small pieces of cereal.
Name Road – Write your child’s name in large letters and let them drive a toy car along the lines of each letter.
Build It, Then Write It – First, have your child build their name with magnetic letters, letter cards, or blocks. Then encourage them to copy their name onto paper.
Paint My Name – Let your child practice writing their name with a paintbrush and water outside on the sidewalk, fence, or driveway.
Highlighter Name – Write your child’s name with a highlighter and have them trace over the letters with a pencil, crayon, or marker.
Book Fair

This is a great opportunity to build your child’s home library with new books that will get them excited about reading, while also earning funds for our school.
The easiest way to shop the Fair is by creating a Book Fair eWallet through our school homepage. It’s easy to set up and easy for family and friends to add funds. It saves so much time at the register!
The fair will be open each day from 2:10-3:00pm and until 5:30pm on Monday, November 2nd.
Lastly, this is a great opportunity to be a Book Fair volunteer! When you give your time, it helps make our Fair an unforgettable reading experience where every purchase benefits our school directly. To volunteer, please reach out to the front office.
We can’t wait to see you at the Fair and help every student discover a book they’ll love!
