It is hard to believe that we are heading into our Thanksgiving Break. This year is really flying by so fast! We have had fun this week making turkey handprints and making our edible turkeys. We enjoyed celebrating Book Week as well. A picture is worth a thousand words so see below. Have a fabulous break! I look forward to seeing everyone again on November 28. Thank you to the parents who sent in wipes/tissue. They were very much needed and appreciated.

Remember to check out the new slideshow added to last week's post.

The holidays are right around the corner and we are gearing up for the festivities. We will make some fun turkey projects, as well as focus on our new letter N and our new nursery rhyme Jack Be Nimble. Next week we will also celebrate Book Week. Check out the November Calendar for the daily events. Friday will be book character day where both teachers and students will dress as a book character. Our class has chosen the popular Cat in the Hat as our book. Please remember to send in a plain red t-shirt for your child to wear by Wednesday, November 16. Your children will be transformed into Thing 1 and Thing 2 from the book. :) Additionally, we will continue to address many academic skills such as colors/shapes/letters/numbers.

Hello to all. This week we had fun with Fall activities such as making leaf rubbings and tissue paper pumpkins. Next week we will continue to celebrate Fall and all things that make it so exciting. We will carve and explore the inside of a pumpkin. The students will have an opportunity to feel the inside and count seeds. We will have a Fall Celebration on Friday, October 28. Students will rotate among our three classes and participate in three very different but fun activities associated with the season. Our letter for next week is M, and our Nursery Rhyme is Muffin Man. Have a great weekend. (From the pictures, you can tell the edible Jack-O-Laterns we made today were a big hit! ) :)

Scotty the class Scarecrow

We have had fun with colors over the last few weeks and are now beginning to learn about Fall. Please continue to point out colors in the environment and encourage your child to repeat the color name after you. Throughout this week and next, we will participate in lots of fun Fall related activities such as sorting/counting using Fall candy and carving a pumpkin. We are practicing a Scarecrow song for the blog and can hopefully post it by the end of the season! :)

Fall is certainly in the air. The coolor weather has been so nice. We have enjoyed looking for signs of the new season. This week we learned about the color Green, the letter G, and learned the song Five Green and Speckled Frogs. We made frog puppets to go along with our nursery rhyme. If you would like to sing along with your child at home please visit http://http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVPmtaHmL4g . Next week we will learn the color Purple, and participate in such activities as painting with purple icecubes that have a frozen popscicle stick in them. Our Letter of the week is letter P and our nursery rhyme is Please Porridge Hot. Have a great four day weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
