Hello Parents! It is officially Spooky Season!!! I love this time of year because the leaves start to fall and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.
Important Reminder – Back to School night is this upcoming Tuesday, October 4th at 7pm. We will be meeting in the Church, then heading down to the classroom to speak about our classroom schedule. After that we will tour the building to see where all of our specials take place! More details to follow!
We are finishing up with theme 1 “Ready for School” and starting unit 4 titled “Getting Along”. BIG Idea: I know how to share, and I care about the feelings of others. Knowledge Focus: Children learn the expectations, routines, and behaviors of school. Social-Emotional focus: cooperation. The theme vocabulary words include: cooperate, share and turns. Math vocabulary words include: less, more and same.
We will be learning the letter Bb, color pink, triangle and number 4. We will be reading the books “The Little Red Hen” and another story similar to compare the two, “How Many Can Play?” and “My Friends”. In the afternoon, we will be completing a fall booklet that focuses on developing listening comprehension skills. Every Friday, we will continue to recap the week in our Journals.
For Jesus time, we will continue to discuss the story of Abraham. We will start a new snack and lunch time prayer which is “God is good. God is great and we thank him for our food”. We will continue to recite this for the next upcoming months.
We will start discussing farm animals this week and pumpkins! We will take a deeper look at pumpkins such as how they decompose, how heavy they are and what they look/feel like on our science table. In our sensory bin, we will be using dirt, colored paper and farm animal toys to play with! More farm animal and October/pumpkin crafts will soon be displayed on Classdojo.
We will be asking for a parent volunteer to come into our classroom this Friday, 10/7, to help bake bread with us! In our Little Hen story, the little hen bakes bread and spreads jelly over it! I thought it would be a great idea to have someone help us bake, just like little hen! I will be posting more details on our class dojo tonight.
