What we have been learning!
Is fall here yet?!? It doesn’t really feel “fall like” at the start of November with the 90+ degree temps. But we know it’s on the way! We had some fun with our Creepy Crawly bug unit by going on “bug hunts” at our discovery/sensory dried bean table and exploring various insects in our Science Center. What would Halloween be without digging out some slimy pumpkin seeds as well as carving a jack-o-lantern who the class voted to name “Jackie”. We continue to learn lessons about friendship from our alien friend Z like how it is OK to like different things than your friends. The children worked hard at centers with our letter C and H activities as well as learning our Frog Street Press songs about these letters, numbers 4 and 5, the colors orange and black, and the square shape. Our “Home Sweet Home” lessons with ABC & Me allowed the children to pretend they were building a house with hammers and saws by using music blocks, using scarves to wash pretend clothes, and imagining to dig up peanuts to make PB & J.
