Nursery Rhymes

We have had a fun and busy week. 

We started off our week by reading the nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty" and talking about rhyming words. 

We read the story The Three Pigs and talked about pretend and real. We also took turns sequencing the events in the story and made the most adorable craft ever. 

We have also read the story Jack and Bean Stalk, watched the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade put on a fall musical and watched a video on Thanksgiving. 

Tomorrow we will end our week learning more about rhyming words. 

Bulletin Boards

We have been busy the past couple of weeks getting together two adorable bulletin boards as well as our door. 

Take a peek...

Yay for Fall and Thanksgiving!!!

Kitchen Week Wrap Up

Here is the wrap up of our fun week talking about food. 

On Thursday we made chefs and the children told us what they would make if they were a chef.

We also had our favorite food party. The children enjoyed getting to share their favorite food with their friends. I want to thank all the parents for sending in items. 

On Friday we practiced recognized the letters in our names and putting them together to form our names by making these cute chefs. 

Here are the jobs the children finished this week...

Pizza Shapes- At this job the children picked a pizza and practiced drawing that shape. 

Spaghetti Letters- At this job the children had to pick a "meatball", id the letter and write it on their sheet. 

Pizza- For this job the children made a pizza and counted how much cheese and pepperonis they put on it. 

It was a fun week and now I can't wait for our week on nursery rhymes. 

Kitchen Unit

Monday we started our kitchen unit by reading the story Good Enough to Eat. 

 While reading the book we learned about the Food Pyramid and how our body needs food. 

Then we discussed healthy and non-healthy food. To wrap our day up we sorted healthy and non-healthy food on the Smart Board. 

Yesterday Ms. Julie from the Memphis Botanic Gardens came and taught the children about what's a fruit and what's a veggie. 

Ms. Julie have each child a part of a fruit or veggie. The children had to find the friend that had the matching part and figure out if it's a fruit of veggie. 

Then they sorted them in baskets. 

Then we went to our tables and made fruit and veggie people and planted a seed. 

Today Mrs. Schmitz came and did a lesson with the children on talking medicine from people other that their parents. 

We are having a fun week and can't wait to make chefs and have our favorite food party tomorrow. 

Halloween

Everyone had a blast on Halloween. 

We started off the day by making a spider and a ghost craft. 

Then it was time to get into our costumes to have some fun!

 Here are some pictures from our party!

To kick off our Halloween week by talking about Halloween and sharing what we were going to be. Then we read the story Where's My Mummy. 

 We used tissues to make our own mummy. 

Yesterday we learned about bats by watching a video on the Smart Board. Then we graphed if we thought bats were creepy or cute. I was surprised that only 2 friends thought they were creepy. 

 Then we made some bats to fly around our graph. 

Today we talked about decorating pumpkins and looked at many pictures of pumpkins before we got to decorate our own. 

They all did an amazing job!

I can't wait for our Halloween Party tomorrow!!!

Monster Week Wrap Up

Friday we finished up our fun unit on Monsters. 

On Thursday we read the story Go Away Big Green Monster and talked about how monsters are pretend. We all shared stories of being scared of a "monster" in our room and what we can do if we get scared.

On Friday we watched a video about a fun monster that we all love...

 COOKIE MONSTER!!!!

Here is a peek at the jobs that children completed this week:

Monster Sounds- At this job the children picked a monster and had to decided if the picture on the monster began with the letter "M". If the picture did the children drew a smiley face and if not they drew a sad face.

Monster Math Roll and Count- At this job the children had to roll a die, count the dots and find that number on their sheet.
