With our short week and many children out on Tuesday, we started out the week with a letter review in the morning. In the afternoon, we had some fun painting paper plate pumpkins! You can find them on our bulletin board in our classroom. On Wednesday, we learned all about letter Ee with Elmo the Elephant and in the afternoon we talked about elephant facts while we made elephant puppets. On Thursday we learned about the number five and danced to the "Five Jive"! We sang Halloween songs about the five little pumpkins too! On Friday, we read the story "Elmer" by David McKee about a very colorful elephant who was different than all the other gray elephants. Elmer wanted to fit in and be like all the other elephants but then soon realized he was happiest just being himself . In the classroom we discussed how our differences make us who we are and make us all individually special. We celebrated this idea just the same way all the other elephants celebrated Elmer in the story by painted our own elephants all different and brightly colored. We ended the week with a Fall activity. We first read and sang the story " We're Going on a Leaf Hunt" while learning tree and leaf names. Then we marched outside singing the song and went on our own leaf hunt and found five colorful leaves!
This week we will be learning about letter Ff and number six while working on fall and Halloween crafts. We will also be learning about how a pumpkin grows. On Wednesday we will be using real pumpkins to measure and sort in our Math Center. We will be exploring the inside of a pumpkin in our science center and use pumpkins in our outdoor games.
