Week of September 26-29th

 This week our theme was Fall! Our focuses of the week were the letter Ff, the number 5, the color orange and the shape of a rectangle. On Monday, we read "Autumn Leaves are Falling Down". During center time, each student got a chance to make a happy fall headband! We are practicing taking our time when doing our work, using a variety of color and coloring up the whole space! On Tuesday, we read "The Leaves Are Falling One by One". During center time, they worked on using the bingo dobbers to form the capital and lower case Ff. They also made their letter F page for their ABC book that they are continuing to grow each week. This week was F is for feathers. It is so exciting to watch their ABC book grow over the weeks so they are ready to take it home after we have learned all of the letters! On Wednesday, we read "How Do You Know It's Fall?" During center time, the students used a different paint brush today! The students stamped with aluminum foil to make leaves in a tree. They had a chance to pick what pick what color of leaves they wanted in their fall tree. On Thursday, we read "We're Going on a Leaf Hunt". During center time, each student made a fall leaf wreath! We also celebrated as a whole school our second praise assembly of the year! Throughout the week we all worked to make a list of Ff words! Enjoy your weekend! I will see you all on Monday for our first week of October! 

*Just a reminder that now that it is Fall to please bring a jacket or sweatshirt for your child to wear during morning recess as it is getting cooler in the mornings. Thank you! 

*Another reminder, as we are finishing the seventh week of school, please work on transitioning your child to saying good bye independently. This can look like them walking into the classroom, walking them to the window in Ms. Jay's room and waving goodbye independently, or giving a final hug before going to play with their friends.

Week of September 19th-23rd

 This week our theme was "Way Up High in the Apple Tree". Our focuses of the week were the letter Aa, the number 4, the shape of an oval, and the color green. On Monday, we read "Apples". During center time, each student got a turn with a step in helping make applesauce in the crockpot! That afternoon, we got to try our hard work creation! There were very mixed reviews! :) On Tuesday, we read "Fluffy Goes Apple Picking". During center time, the students practiced forming the letter Aa with the bingo dobbers and making their A page for their ABC book, which was A is for apples! On Wednesday, we read "Apples, Apples, Everywhere!". During center time, each student got a chance to try a red, yellow, and green apple! Once they tried each one, they had to pick which was their favorite. Everyone picked red as their favorite! They colored their apple their favorite one and added it to our apple tree in our classroom! On Thursday, we read "Autumn is for Apples". During center time, they used apples to stamp leaves into a tree!  On Friday, we read "Fall Apples, Crisp and Juicy". During center time, we focused on fine motor skills. Each student got a chance to rip paper and fill up an apple of their choice! Tearing paper is a great way to work on fine motor skills! Don't worry we talked about how this is a school activity and not to do this at home without asking mom and dad if it was okay and cleaning up after ourselves when we are done! :) We also tried dried apples and apple cider! I hope everyone has a great weekend! I will see you Monday for our short week!
