Sunday October 15th-good morning and what a beautiful fall weekend we're having! Pumpkins, pumpkins ,pumpkins-that's the theme for this week! The morning class will be singing "5 Little Pumpkins" and making a really cute craft to go with it. We'll make some silly pumpkin pictures and practice shapes with pumpkins. Tomorrow is "D Day" in the afternoon class and we'll talk about how letter "D" has a big line down and a big curve, very much like the number 2. We're going to spend a lot of time this week practicing our counting and number recognition to 10. Any counting practice you can do at home with your child would be really beneficial. I encourage the children to "touch count"-meaning touch each item they are counting as they count to be sure to maintain the 1 to 1 correspondance. We'll also be having some fun with candy corn candies. We'll be making a silly "candy corn man" project, counting with candy corns, and practicing our names in candy corns! It's looking like a great week-going to be a little cooler, so please send sweatshirts or jackets because we're going to continue to get outside as often as we can. Enjoy the rest of your beautiful Sunday and have a great week! Robin
October 8th-good morning! I hope everyone's continuing to enjoy our great fall weather--we've sure been happy to get outside as often as we can! What a busy fun week we had! Both classes did some cooking with our apples and we had delicious applesauce and apple crisp-made with graham crackers-yummmy! There are still some left for some more deliciousness this week-pie maybe? The leaves outside are beautiful and we'll be making beautiful fall trees in the classroom with the morning class this week. We'll be learning about sponge painting and recognizing our names in leaves no less! We'll be talking about squares, and will be sorting circles and squares. Thursday is Orange Day for both classes-remember, try to see if your child can wear something orange and bring something orange and "glueable" for our class collage! Monday is "E" Day in the afternoon class and we'll be making some very cute elephants! Wednesday is our whole group social thinking lesson and we'll be learning about "the group plan". I'll be sending home a handout about the lessons. Orange is the color of pumpkins and we'll be have all kinds of fun with pumpkin projects and activities in both classes. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and have a great week! Robin
