We all had a great time at our fall party. The children played "Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater" with water balloons, "Rat in the Hole", "Make it Fall" (candy corn bowling), and "What a Big Nose" (they put the nose on the pumpkin while blindfolded). They also decorated pumpkins and ate special snacks together. Special thanks to all who sent prizes, party bags, and food.
This week in Nature/Science we will read Pumpkin, Pumpkin and work with our Pumpkin in Lifecycle cards. We will plant Swiss Chard into the garden . We will also read What Makes Day and Night as we continue to learn about the Solar System.
In Phonics/Language we will make an Itsy Bitsy letter i book and practice sorting objects beginning with h and i into letter tubs. The children will practice narration as we read Sleeping Beauty by Robert Louis Stevenson.
In Math the children have enjoyed working with candy corn on their pumpkin story mats. We will practice addition with pumpkins on the flannel board this week in circle.
In Music/Art we will play "Jack 'O Lantern Roll" with a Parachute. We will also begin a picture study entitled "The Bellelli Family" by Degas.
In Bible we will read "Abraham is God's Friend", "God's Friend", "God Gives Abraham the Best", and "God Promisis Abraham a Son" from The Bible in Pictures.
Thanks to all who helped make the Fall Festival a success. The children had a wonderful time with their friends and many were talking about the festival in class today.
