The week was very busy. We started our new reading unit, The 3 Bears. 4's have been working on the concepts of over and under as well as sizing from large-small. We have been using big, medium and small. Ask them to put cans or boxes in order at home. Change it around and have them sort all the big things in one spot, the small things in another. They love learning this way. 3's continue to work on scissor skills and writing their names this week. All are learning about similarities and differences, the letters Cc and Dd and the color blue. We even celebrated our artist this week, Picasso, by studying his BLUE period!
In Religion, we have been talking about families. The children shared their families and we talked about how we thank God for our families. Next week we will start to talk about Joseph and how important he was in the Bible.
Our unit on corn was a POPPING success! Wait until you see the great things we did. They watched a harvesting video which showed seeding and sowing through the fall harvest. It was a great kick off to this season. Next week we will talk continue our discussions on fall, broadening the subtopics. Over the next couple of weeks we will discuss hibernation, acorns and pumpkins.
Please remember as the weather gets cooler to send a jacket for recess. I would also suggest sending pants for "accidents" if you originally sent shorts. The shorts part of the dress code ends in a couple of weeks.
There is no school Oct. 4,5 and 8. Please remember this and enjoy your extra time together! I will get new photos up this weekend!
Until next week...
