Our Thanksgiving Story

WHO LIVES IN TREES?

We found this beautiful bird nest on our nature walk.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR PARENTS FOR MAKING OUR FEAST SPECIAL.

Obj. 20 Say It Show It - Uses number concepts and operations

During this activity I chant a rhyme. The children identify the number and perform a simple motion to demonstrate their knowledge of the quantity it represents.

How is clothing made?

HOW IS CLOTHING MADE?

We were excited to have Mrs. Carol Yazel come to our class. She showed the children how to crochet. We learned that clothes and blankets can be crocheted. The children loved her tools and the bright colors of the yarn were a hit. A special thank you to Mrs. Yazel for giving us a WOW moment!

LIFE CYCLE OF A PUMPKIN

The 7th and 8th grade students grew pumpkins and made books for us. Each preschool child had a buddy for this field trip. A book was written and illustrated just for your child. As we toured the pumpkin patch we learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin.

A special thank you to Mrs. Ayers and her students for this exciting field trip!

P.E CLASS

The children were running fast in P.E. this week. Zookeeper was a great game and the children loved it! The students pretended to be lions and the taggers had to put them back in their cage. During this activity the students had to wait a turn to be a tagger. Everyone was listening as Mrs. Nicole asked math questions about the lions.

Who Works at Our School?

This week we discussed people that work at our school. We talked about the Gingerbread Man and we determined that he did not work at our school. The children told me a few names of people that work at our school. This topic helps the class become familiar with teachers on campus.

Emory - Mrs. Diane

Ivy - Mrs. Amanda

Milo - Mrs. Nicole

Nolan - Mrs. Allison

Painting the Gingerbread Man

Painting is a great way to exercise the muscles in our hands

HOW DO WE MAKE FRIENDS AND BE PART OF A GROUP?

What a wonderful week! The children had a blast as they searched for the Gingerbread Man!

We learned how to work together with Mrs. Amanda's class and be part of a group. As your child participated in this activity they learned about number recognition and how to follow instructions. A special thank you to Mrs. Pope for providing us with the Gingerbread Man.

Music with Mrs. Allison

The students played the drum as they listened to Aiken Drum ! Music class was a hit! Aiken Drum is a Scottish folk song and nursery rhyme.

We had a blast with our first unit! We will learn about clothing during our next unit.
