Last week the children had fun pretending to be falling leaves as they danced together. They picked and examined Oak and Juniper leaves and enjoyed the aromas. This week they will compare Sweetgum and Cherry Laurel leaves. They will also draw a picture of the tree that they chose to be “their tree” this year. We will read Animals at Night in Nature/Science as we begin to learn about Nocturnal Animals. We will also read “The Bat” in our Christian Liberty Nature Reader and paint a picture of a bat.
In Phonics/Language we will read and narrate Stellaluna, a story about a baby bat that becomes separated from its mother. We will practice writing C’s on our little chalkboard and make them with playdoh. We will also read Goldilocks and the Three Bears and act out the story with props.
In Math we will work with Pumpkins and Gourds to create AB and ABB patterns. The children will also count and group Magnetic cookies.
Our field trip to the River Legacy Living Science Center is on Thursday, October 14. The cost is $12.00 per child (see permission slip attached). Please turn in the slip with the admission by Thursday and let us know whether you will be attending (there is no charge for adults). We will eat an early lunch at the school and leave for the Center at 11:30.
