This week we're planning lots of fun as we learn our letter "P". We will eat popcorn and pretzels at our pajama party on Monday. We will "pop" the ping pong balls on the parachute. The children will make a "p" with pennies, and they will play a sorting game called "Penny and not a penny". They will practice making p's with colored pencils. We will read The Owl and the Pussycat and The Three Little Pigs. The children will create the pig's houses and we will act out the story. We will also play "Pop, Goes the Weasel".
In Social Studies we will read The Very First Thanksgiving Day, Pilgrims and Indians and Five Fat Turkeys. We will begin to practice our Thanksgiving songs. We will also read about Egyptian hieroglyphics and practice using hieroglyphic stamps.
In Nature/Science we will learn about space stations and satellites as we read excerpts from Blast Off to Space.
In Bible we will read Thank You God For Fall, and we will continue to learn about Abraham as we read "Three Men From Heaven", "God Tests Abraham's Love", and "Rebekah Says She Will Be Issac's Wife" from The Bible in Pictures.
Our field trip to see "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" at the Artisan Theatre is on November 29th. Admission is $5.00 per person, and we have to turn it into the theatre this week to confirm the reservations. Please turn your money in to Mrs. Hague by Thursday, Nov.10 (make checks payable to Blaire Hague).
