For our language arts time, we learned all about the letter Mm, practiced handwriting skills with lowercase letters, talked about colors, and did a project about apples. The kids made little flip up page about an apple, and they also made a color book. They were so excited to learn that they made a book that they could read! We also tapped into the kids' power of imagination to imagine what a pumpkin could be (what is a sphere-like object) - a car wheel, a hat, and a planet were a few of my favorite ideas.
This week, we also continued reading Who is Special stories, which the kids love. On Friday, we went on a walk to find leaves. Then, we enjoyed one of the best parts of fall - playing in a pile of leaves and a leaf fight! We had a wonderful time bonding and laughing as a class. It was the perfect way to end a Friday!
On Tuesday, November 1st, we will be going to Westwood Nature Center for our first field trip of the year. The topic will be apples! Throughout the upcoming week, we will be doing activities and learning new words related to apples. To help us with this, please send 1 or 2 apples of different colors to school with your child by Tuesday. ¡Gracias!
Parents who will be chaperoning, we will be gone from about 12:30pm - 2:45pm. Please be at school before then if you plan on riding the bus with the kids.
Thursday, November 3rd & Friday, November 4th
