Why not ask your child? We have been talking a lot about the color red and all the things that can be or are red. They were also introduced to the letters A and B. Some great ways to reinforce this learning at home is to go on a scavenger hunt for the letter or the color or let them look through a magazine or junk mail to find things you ask for.
The 4's have begun working in the new series called Happily Ever After. We are on the Little Red Riding hood unit. The focus of this unit is not only the color red, but the learning of concepts such as underlining, listening to directions, drawing a line across and matching. Most work from this series will come home in a packet at the end of the unit which will be next Friday. It is a great discussion tool to use. While we work on this, the 3's are busy working on strengthening up fine motor skills and name recognition skills with Ms. Munoz.
In Religion, we just finished How God Created the World. Next we will learn about Abraham and how God blessed him. The children are learning songs and doing very well in chapel as well. Please remember no jeans on Wedensdays due to chapel.
This week our Artist was Jackson Pollock and his splatter/drip painting. We recreated a piece outside. Ours has some leaves stuck to it, but other than that, it is great. The kids had a blast doing it.
NN was our friend this week. He brought a very neat book for us to use in November for Day of the Dead. Next week our Friend of the Week is BT.
Next week we will be learning all about apples. We will talk about the different kinds, do a graph, eat yummy applesauce and so much more. We will even "meet" Johnny Appleseed through an online visit.
FINALLY...MRS. HOFFMAN had her baby! Details to come, but he is a healthy baby boy born on 9/12/12 at 2:30 pm. Thanks for your prayers, she is doing great.
