This week we’re planning lots of Autumn Fun. We will read Pumpkin, Pumpkin and paste pictures to create a sequence of the events in the story. We will weigh and compare pumpkins and the children will create a drawing for their nature journals.
Our beans are growing in the garden. The children will compare sizes of seeds this week and create a little book called Pumpkins Grow.
In Math we will count pumpkins, create patterns with pumpkins and seeds, and work with rectangles. We will read The Biggest Pumpkin Ever.
In Social Studies we will learn about how clothes are made and read The Elves and the Shoemaker. We will also read Firefighters and Fred the Firefighter.
In Phonics/Language we will practice writing the letter “E” on our little chalkboards. We will learn “Jack and Jill”, Hey, Diddle Diddle”, and “Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater”. The children will also take turns acting out “Little Miss Muffet” and we will practice identifying rhyming words.
The Dalworthington Fire Department will visit us on Wednesday, October 27 at 10:00 to talk about Fire Safety.
We are sorry that the weather didn’t cooperate for the Fall Festival. All of the activities will be available for the children on Thursday. We will travel around as a group starting at 12:30. Parents are invited to attend. The children may dress up as a Storybook or Nursery Rhyme character. They may bring a special snack to share (or they may bring their own individual snack) for the afternoon.
