This week in Phonics / Language we are planning to
practice reciting Nursery Rhymes and acting out “Jack and Jill” and “Little
Miss Muffet”. We will also read Bring
In the Pumpkins and It’s Pumpkin Time.
In Nature / Science we will finish reading George, The Giant Tortoise, and the children will travel outside with
their clipboards and create a sketch of Ben-Tu.
We will read The Big, Big Pumpkin and It’s Pumpkin Time
and cut open a pumpkin to examine the interior.
We are also planning to press flowers from the Perennial Garden and
observe and sketch the Gaura and the Salvia.
In Math, we will count and group Pumpkin Seeds and
practice addition and subtraction with Candy Corn.
In Bible, we will read “Two Men Build Houses”,
“Jesus Makes a Dead Man Live”, and
“Jesus Stops a Storm” in The Bible in Pictures.
We are planning to play Nursery Rhyme Games in the
Motor Lab on Thursday morning. Your
child may dress up as a Nursery Rhyme or other favorite character that
day. They may bring a change of clothing
if they wish to change before lunch (or they may wear their costume if it is
comfortable enough for a field
trip---just let us know when you drop them off that morning). Please send a lunch for your child to eat at
school before we leave (school lunches will not be provided that day since we
are eating early). We will eat lunch at
10:45 and depart for Country Critters at 11:30.
Activities at Country Critters are scheduled from 12:00 to 2:00. Admission is $7.00 for children and
adults. Please turn in your child’s
permission slip and money to Mrs. Hague.
