Week of September 25th- 30th

This week our theme was "Welcome Fall". We focused on the letter Ff, the number 5, the color yellow, and the shape of a diamond. On Monday, we read "Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn". During center time, the kiddos created Happy Fall crowns to celebrate welcoming fall! On Tuesday, we read "Amazing Autumn". We had a whole school assembly with JC Parks to show us a new sculpture that will be on Adrian's Island once it is completed. During center time, we colored a welcome fall booklet. The kiddos focused on staying inside the lines, using the right colors and I even braved getting the scissors out. :) On Wednesday, we read "The Leaves are Falling One by One". During center time, I worked one on one with the kiddos to see how their letter knowledge has grown since the end of August. It is always exciting to see how they are growing each month as we learn new letters and they gain new skills. :) On Thursday, we read "We're Going On A Leaf Hunt". During center time, the kiddos made their letter F is for feathers page for their ABC books that we are working on as we learn each new letter. This will be sent home at the end of the year when we have learned all the letters. On Friday, we had Fun and Fitness Friday with Miss Jay's friends. We walked all the way to Adrian's Island and when we got there we found out that they were putting up the Missouri river statue that we got to make coins for. We got to watch as they took the river portion of the statue onto the statue. It was so exciting watching the construction equipment and the whole process. As a whole school, we celebrated our monthly praise assembly! This month's theme was piety/prayer! I hope everyone has a great weekend! I will see you all on Monday! Enjoy the photos from the week!
