October 20-24

This week in Phonics/Language we are planning to learn and recite Nursery Rhymes. We will also learn about fall as we read Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf.

  In Nature/Science we will read Sea Turtles, Ocean Nomads  and Awesome George the Giant Tortoise.  The children will create sketches of the Verbena on a Stick and the Mexican Mint Marigold that is growing in the garden and water the flowers together. We will also pick and press flowers for our Nature Journals.

 In Art we are planning to make Paper Plate Pumpkins and paint pumpkins on the easel.

 In Music we will listen to “The Story of my feelings” (book, CD).

In Bible we will read “Men Bring A Sick Friend to Jesus”, “Nicodemus Talks to Jesus”, and “A Little Boy Talks to Jesus” from The Bible in Pictures.  We will also listen to a Social Story entitled “Doing What My Teachers Tell Me” from Socially Smart.

We are planning special fall games with a Nursery Rhyme theme for the morning of Thursday, October 30.  Your child may wear a costume to school (comfortable is best).  They can change clothes before the field trip if they wish. We will have lunch at school at 10:45, and leave for Country Critters at 11:30.  Please return your field trip permission slip with $7.00 for each child and parent attending.
