Week 14

Thank you so much to everyone for participating in our disguise a turkey family project! I loved seeing all of the creativity you all had! If you have not checked these out yet, they are hanging in the hallway between our classroom and Miss Jay's.

On Monday, we started our day celebrating Veteran's day with the whole school at an assembly! I am so proud of how nicely these little friends sat to honor those who have fought for our country and continue to fight! We worked on tracing rectangles and then practiced coloring them! On Tuesday, we talked about Thanksgiving and what it means to be thankful. Each kiddo got a chance to color two hearts and tell me what is something they are thankful for. Check these out as there were some pretty special answers. They are hanging on the wall. On Wednesday, my kiddos who were not here on Tuesday got to make their thankful hearts. On Thursday, we used the shape of a rectangle to make a turkey body and rectangle turkey feathers. On Friday, we had fun and fitness Friday. We played our bean bag color sorting game. We finished some more rectangle turkeys. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I will see you all on Monday for our last full week before Thanksgiving break. Enjoy the photos from the week! Sorry there are not as many as normal! It was hard to work on the projects with the kiddos and take photos this week! 

As the weather has changed and we are wearing more jackets and coats, please work with your little one at home with independently putting on their jacket and zipping it. Independence is a big step of preschool and this helps me a ton when students are working on putting their jackets on by themselves. 

We will be celebrating all things Thanksgiving the last two days before Thanksgiving break and working on sharing. We are asking that all preschoolers bring in their favorite snack to share and make a big preschool Thanksgiving feast. Thank you for your help in learning all about the joy of sharing and Thanksgiving.

• Thanksgiving break will run from Wednesday, November 27th- Friday November 29th. 

Week 13

This week was all about the shape of an oval. On Monday, we made turkey feathers out of oval shaped toilet paper tubes. We spent the afternoon with Miss Jay's friends painting little pumpkins!  On Tuesday, we made pumpkin pie handprints! On Wednesday, we made handprint Pilgrims and Native Americans. We talked about how the next holiday that we will celebrate is Thanksgiving and what that means. These can be seen on the windows hanging outside the office in the big school. On Thursday, we practiced coloring and tracing an oval! I am working with my friends on taking their time and trying their best to stay inside the lines! On Friday, we started a new game in P.E. We worked on sorting colors and being a part of a team! I hope everyone has a great weekend! I will see you all on Monday! Enjoy the photos from the week!

Just a reminder, that as of Monday, November 4th, shorts are no longer allowed until March 10th. Please change your child's spare clothes to their winter clothes as soon as possible!
