Here a pumpkin, There a pumpkin...

I know the weather is totally confusing all of us, but it is OCTOBER!!! WOW!
We are talking a lot about pumpkins and gourds over the next 2 weeks.  Our math and science centers will revolve around pumpkins, leaves, pinecones, acorns and other fall type items. We continue to work on Big, Medium and Small as a major concept.  Again, have them organize your cereal or cans by height.  That is a great way to practice that concept.  We are working on the color blue and the letters Cc and Dd.  Again, in preschool, it is about letter recognition, not sounding out or spelling.  Some will naturally pick that up and that is a bonus. 

You may be wondering about our Religion.  Well, we pray daily and work on the correct way to pray.  We have also been focusing on the idea that they are special and that God created them to be special people with special talents.  We will continue with that theme through mid November.  We will shift at that point outwards to other people, needs etc. 

One last note is regarding Our special friend of the week this week: Mateo! Mateo loves to explore the room.  His favorite centers are science table and the knights and castles.  He loves to tell us all about the fun stuff he does with his family. 

As always, my door is open.  If you have a question, email me at teacherluck-academy@yahoo.com.
