The kids came to school on Wednesday and discovered Autumn had invaded the classroom....
We had all the fixings for apple pie in the water tub this week.
There were fuzzy squirrels, squirrel builders and acorns on the building table.
On the light table we had translucent yellow, red, green and orange blocks for building.
We had a board game called "Sneaky Squirrel" that the kids loved playing together.
There were apples with the alphabet letters written on them hidden all over the room for the kids to find as they played.
The texture table was full of popcorn kernels and a farm scene.
At the play dough area kids found translucent leaves, leaf cookie cutters and silk leaves to add to their play dough creations.
Creation station had fun new fall stickers, apple bases and leaf bases for the kids to get crafty with.
One of the fine motor options this week was decorating trees with beads and leaves.
Here are some photos of your children at play around the room.
The teacher led activity on Wednesday was adding another fun item to memory boxes and a sticker to the kids sticker book. This month the kids added sparkly spider rings and a pumpkin sticker. The kids reminisced about all the fun we had exploring all things spooky in October.
On Friday we played ABC soup with the kids. This game focuses on letter recognition and identifying letter sounds. The kids really enjoyed this game! We will continue to work on these concepts in a variety of ways throughout the year.
At circle time this week we introduced some new instruments. We sang songs about squirrels and apples. We read some fall themed books including one about an acorn who wore polka dots pants. We also started to learn a new yoga sequence dedicated to animals.
The fall fun will continue next week with new autumn games and some apple themed activities. Thank you for sharing your amazing children with us. We love spending our week with them.
See you tomorrow,
Meghan and Christine
