Last week we had a special Community Helper Day in the Centers Room. The children pretended to be Chefs, Doctors, Veterinarians, Zookeepers, Homemakers, Artists, Mail Carriers, Train Conductors, and Architects.
This week in Social Studies we will read The First Thanksgiving and Rainbow Crow as we begin to learn about Pilgrims and Indians. The children will create Indian necklaces and learn to play two Indian games called “Hide and Seed” and “Flick the Sticks”. They will also paint Rainbow Crows and decorate them with feathers.
In Phonics/Language we will practice writing the letter “G” on our little chalkboards and sort objects beginning with “F” and “G” into letter tubs. We will narrate and act out The Three Billy Goats Gruff this week. We are continuing to recite Nursery Rhymes, and the children are especially enjoying acting out Jack and Jill and Little Miss Muffet.
In Nature/Science we will collect and sort acorns (small, medium, large). The children will also collect leaves from their special tree and we will do an experiment to demonstrate transpiration.
We will be going to the Omni Theatre to see “The Polar Express” at the Fort Worth Science Museum on Thursday, December 9th. The show starts at 10:00. Tickets cost $6 for students and $7 for adults. Please turn in the money by Monday to Mrs. Hague so we can confirm our reservation. Be sure and let us know if you will be attending the Field Trip with your child.
