This week in Nature/Science we will learn about Asteroids, Meteors, and Comets and learn how to locate the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. The children are also continuing to state the names of the planets in the proper order as they turn the pages of their Solar System books that they made.
In Social Studies we will learn about the Pilgrims and Indians as we read stories from If You Sailed on the Mayflower in 1620. We will pretend to sail on the Mayflower and sample foods that the Pilgrims might have eaten on their journey.
In Art/Music the children will make an Egyptian instrument called a sistrum and practice rhythms with their friends. They will paint and make turkeys, create a gift for their grandparents, and make placemats for the feast. We will also finish our Degas picture study.
In Phonics/Language we will review the letters A through I and practice writing them on our little chalkboards. We will play "Toss and Tell" and "Can You Tell Me?" with felt objects from the Explode the Code Wall Chart.
Our Thanksgiving Feast/Grandparent's Day will begin at 11:15. The children will sing two songs and recite their poem. Dr. Flint will speak at 12:00
