Autumn’s in the air and in the OC Teachers Jelena and Lisa

 The students were welcomed into a fall themed classroom on Wednesday. We had the texture table full of flax seed that is smooth, silky soft and oh so fun to play in!





The water tub (no water) had kinetic sand with squirrels, natural wood pieces, chestnuts, bowls and cookie cutters for some more texture fun.






We worked on our memory boxes on Wednesday. The students were able to put a bejeweled spider in the box, share an October memory and add a pumpkin to their little book.



 

There were several fine motor activities around the classroom like  these trees that the student could thread with beads or leaves. And some small teddy bears to dress in a costume.

 

At the light table we had translucent leaves and acorns to sort into bowls and film canisters.


There was a letter matching acorn activity with upper and lower case letters. 



On Friday, the kids did pattern making with colorful pom poms.






At the building table some very colorful tinker toys.




At creation station, the students could decorate an owl or create art out of beans, corn, seeds or fall shaped pasta!





The students really enjoyed playing a game called “The Sneaky Squirrel” where with one spin you could have the wind blow all your acorns away or the sneaky squirrel could take one of your acorns!


There was a ‘matching items that go together’ puzzle on the puzzle table.



And tangram puzzles.

       
           

The felt board, where many stories were brought back to life!



Lots of activities around the room kept everyone engaged.






 



As usual, many books were read.




During group time more stories, movement and instruments; shakers in fruit and vegetable shapes, so fun!







Friday Friendship Circle, a question is posed and you may answer when you have the rock that goes around the circle. It’s a very special time.



We checked on our pumpkins outside in the garden, lots of new holes!


Outdoor time, here we come!



Next week we will look forward to ABC Bingo, some apple activities and more fall themes. See you on Monday!
