Last week the children had fun acting out The Three Bears. We will make finger puppets to use with the story in circle this week. The children will practice sequencing the story and talk about how the characters must have felt.
We will practice our Letter “C” and the children will create clay C’s. They will also make red and yellow collages as we sing R-E-D and Y-E-L-L-O-W. We will review our colors and color words with ice cream cones.
In Nature/Science we will continue to learn about Nocturnal Animals. We will begin to read and narrate Beavers by Patricia Corrigan. We are adding cedar to our “Tree Scents”. The children will use their senses of touch to examine their tree with their eyes closed (or they may choose to use a blindfold). We will also begin to recite “Trees” by Joyce Kilmer.
In Math the children will make AB/ABB patterns with pumpkins and gourds and practice counting 10 pennies. We will learn that ten pennies make a dime.
In Music we will practice moving fast and slow to Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 3 in E Flat Major with scarves. We will sing “Autumn Leaves” with Rhythm Sticks. In Creative Movement the children will learn the motions and follow directions to the “Physical Fun” tape. We will also listen to a Social Story.
Our field trip to River Legacy Living Science Center is this Thursday, October 14. Please turn in your child’s permission slip and $12.00 by Wednesday. We will eat an early lunch at school and leave at 11:30.
