This week our theme was "Pumpkins and Halloween". We learned about how pumpkins grow, that there are more than just round orange ones, and that some can get REALLY big. We also focused on the letter Jj.
We had a great time with our Halloween parties. The kids went on a parade throughout the school showing their costumes to our friends, we "trick-or-treated" in our room, played fall bingo, and had a really yummy witch's brew snack.
Next week our theme will be "Night Time".

This week our theme was "Fire Safety". We learned about the gear firefighters use, why having a plan for getting out of a building on fire and having a meeting place is important, and what it means to stop, drop, and roll. We made some fun painting projects like our spotted dalmatian and the finger painting scene of the Medford Fire Department putting out a fire. We also learned about the letter Ff.

This week was a short one but we learned about the words "Hibernation and Migration". We found out that some animals sleep through the winter, some wake up from time to time, and some leave for a warmer place for a few months. The kids had fun making turtles, ladybugs under logs, and we started decorating for Halloween with some big jack-o-lanterns using our hand prints.
