Fall

This past week we talked about FALL. We collected leaves, talked about what happens in Fall, made paper apples, saw what an apple looks like when you cut it in half two different ways and used the apples to stamp the letter E. This next week we will continue to talk about Fall and add the letter F. We will also be doing a couple of Thanksgiving projects. Please continue to work on spelling and writing your child's name with them. They are all doing very well!!

Dinosaur Week

This has been Dinosaur week. We have talked about Dinosaurs, played with Dinosaurs and used them to count. We cut and colored and glued and worked on writing our names. Half of the children can now spell their names to me while I write them on the white board. Both Alysa and Libby will be getting a certificate on Monday for spelling their names. Kyle, Jaydn, Libby and Alysa are now working on writing their names by themselves. Rebekah, Arika and Natalya are getting closer to spelling their names by themselves as well. Keep working with them at home when ever possible. Everyone can have their child spell their name when they ask for a snack, a drink, when they are getting ready for bed, etc. This may not seem like a lot but it really helps them learn faster. I am including some pictures from today. We dug for Dinosaurs. Each child had a chance to dig through the dinosaur desert and find a dinosaur. They really had a lot of fun and followed directions very well.

REMEMBER MONDAY is the next day of class.
Thanks for letting me teach your children, I truly enjoy each of them.

Halloween

Today we learned the letter H for House and Halloween. We made a house out of shapes and colored things that were outside our homes. We talked about Halloween safety and counted four pumpkins. We worked on writing our names and many of the children are starting to write more then one letter on their papers.  We are all excited about the party on Thursday. Please remember to send your child in their costume. 

Making Cookie "C"

October 23

We had a great day today learning about the letter C. We made C's out of cookies and talked about what sound the letter C makes. Then we looked around and found things that start with the letter C. Everyone did an amazing job. We read a cookie book, had animal cookies for snack, (thanks to Alysa) and played with k'nex, since it was too cold to go outside. We then talked about Halloween and made spooky spiders to scare our families. Please continue to work on your child names with them, they are getting so much better and most of the children can even recognize other children's names in our class now.
