PEEK AT THE WEEK

• This week we worked on practicing the core vocab words “want” and “more” by making song requests and asking for more bubbles
• We continued letter of the week by listening to letter “E” songs, reading books about things that start with the letter “E”, using bingo markers to outline the letter, and continuing our letter book by adding an envelope to our page
• The children helped clean out our pumpkin to make a jack-o-lantern.  They picked out the eyes, nose, and mouth for Miss Ashley to carve
• We sang Halloween songs and read Halloween stories including “The Hungry, Hungry Witch”
• The children decorated their trick or treat bags for our Field Trip
• We had orange pancakes and orange juice for breakfast on Halloween morning. The children practiced eating their pancakes with a fork
• We walked over to ASC for our Trick or Treat field trip. The kids had so much fun going around the building collecting candy and admiring everyone’s costumes
• The children drew in their journals
• One last time the children explored our Halloween themed sensory bin that is filled with dry beans, pumpkin shaped ice cube trays, pretend snakes, rats, and eyeballs
• The children practiced counting and number recognition while singing “5 Black Scarecrows” and playing a cookie sheet game
• 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 🙂
