Scarecrows and Thanksgiving

Last week our theme was "Scarecrows." We made a colorful scarecrow and learned what scarecrows do. We also talked about the number 5 and 6 and the letter Hh. Please review these numbers and letter with your child to help them recognize them in the world around them. 

Thank you to all of the families that came to the Bowling FBI event last Friday. It was a lot of fun! The next FBI event will be cookie decorating on Dec. 6th at 1:45. If you have not signed up but still want to please let me know as soon as possible. 

This week and next week we will have the theme "Thanksgiving." We will be making several turkey projects and talking about what it means to be thankful. We will also be working with the numbers 7, 8, and 9. Our letter for these two weeks will be the letter Tt. 

Night time and Scarecrows

Last week we had the theme "Night time". We made owl and raccoon crafts and had a great pajama party day. We read to our stuffed animals that we brought in. We watched a movie and had a popcorn snack. The letter we learned about was Kk and practiced the numbers 3 and 4. We had a vision screening to check how well we could see distance, close-up, and colors. 

This week we are talking all about "Scarecrows." We will be making a big scarecrow and learning about the letter Hh and the numbers 5 and 6. For those students who were signed up, we will be having our first teeth varnishing. Report cards will be going home this week. 

Thank you to all of the families who have donated items to our classroom. They will be used to create all sorts of projects!!

Just a reminder: The weather is starting to get a lot colder than we have been used to. Please send your child with a warm jacket, hat, gloves or mittens. Some days it might be more comfortable for your child to have boots and snow pants too-even though we don't have snow hills to play on yet. 

Halloween

This week we finished up our "Halloween" theme and celebrated with our parties at the end of the week. Everyone had a great time getting dressed up and walking in our parade through the halls and classrooms. Trick-or-treating in the classroom was a big hit too! 

Next week our theme will be "Night time." We will be making raccoon and owl projects. We will be having our pajama day on Wednesday and Thursday. Please send your child in warm pajamas since we will still be going outside for recess. We will be talking all about the letter Kk and the numbers 3 and 4. Please take the time to count daily with your child and point out words beginning with the letter Kk.
