Fall Leaves & Halloween

This week our theme was “Fall & Leaves”.  We learned about the letter Ll, made a leaf book, used watercolor paints to make a leaf and painted an acorn.  The children also made fall trees, a pumpkin booklet and created a page for our first classroom book about Having Fun In Fall.  Your child has brought a fall memory game home, which they can cut out and play with you over the weekend!

Next week our theme will be “Halloween”.  There is no school on Monday due to parent teacher conferences.  (On Wednesday I will send home some of the things the children will have missed).  This week we will be making a jack-o-lantern windsock, ghost feet, glitter bats, a cookie cutter painting and spider hands!  We will continue to work on name printing, matching, shapes, following directions, cutting and counting.  Our letter for the week will be Jj.
