Hello Parents! I hope you all had a great weekend! The weather is dropping fast and it has been significantly colder. Please continue to still pack your child with the appropriate clothing. We will continue to go outside as long as the weather permits.
Important Reminder: This is a short 3 day week! We will be going to the Farm on Thursday and there is no school on Friday due to a staff Professional Development day!
For our Farm trip, an adult is required to accompany their child to and from the trip as well as stay throughout the trip. We will be meeting at 10:20. Keep an eye out on our Classdojo for important information. We will be riding the Hay ride as a class!
We are continuing with the theme “My Family” and beginning unit 2 titled “We Take Care of Each Other”. BIG Idea: I love my family and they love me. Knowledge Focus: Children learn about family members, family roles, and unique qualities of families. Social-Emotional Focus: kindness. The theme vocabulary words include: cousins, caring, feelings and love. Math vocabulary words include: length, longer, longest, shorter and shortest.
We will be learning the letter Dd, color orange, hexagon and number 6. We will be reading the books “Mama Zooms”, “Too Many Tamales” and “My Day From A-Z”. We will also be reading “The Real Busy Spiders” Scholastic weekly reader. In the afternoon, we will continue to complete a various lessons that focuses on developing listening comprehension skills. We will also be creating a Candy Corn craft. This will help the children with their fine motor skills.
We will begin talking about pumpkins and skeletons this week! We will take a closer look at pumpkins, exploring their color, shape and texture. We will also discuss how we have hundreds of bones inside of our bodies! More crafts will be displayed on our ClassDojo. In our sensory bin, we will be using orange rice and Halloween themed manipulatives in honor of the upcoming holiday.
For music and movement, we will be continue to sing our “5 Little Pumpkins” song, dance to our Skeleton dance using GoNoodle.com and listen to our “Spooky Walk” song where the children have to listen to the directions and act out what is going on using their imagination.
For Jesus time, Mrs. Maldonado will continue to teach the children various songs and introduce the story of Jacob and Rachel and how God blessed them with a baby.
