PEEK AT THE WEEK

• This week we worked on practicing core vocab words we have already gone over such as “go,” “want,” don’t,” “stop,” and “more”
• The school had a practice fire drill on Monday
• We had picture day on Tuesday. Everyone smiled nicely for the camera!
• We continued our pet theme this week by reading a book about cats. We made a chart about what they can do, what they have, and what they are
• We continued letter of the week by listening to letter “C” songs, reading books about things that start with the letter “C”, using bingo markers to outline the letter, and continuing our letter book by sponge painting cars
• The children practiced fine motor skills with puzzles, fine motor jars, and various art projects
• The children enjoyed the beautiful weather by playing outside on the playground in the afternoons after our rest time
• We continued singing Halloween songs and reading Halloween stories including “Go Away, Big Green Monster!”
• We also read the poem Five Little Pumpkins using a cookie sheet prop to follow along. The children also mixed yellow and red to make orange pumpkins
• The children drew in their journals
• We worked on building stamina during daily 5
• The students are working HARD to independently feed themselves as much as possible during lunch and snack time. Please make sure you are giving your child the opportunity to work on these skills at home.  I know it can be messy and takes longer but it is very important they learn to feed themselves 🙂
