Hibernation & Migration

This week our theme was “Hibernation & Migration”.  The children made raccoons, turtles and Canadian geese.  We talked about many different animals and learned what hibernation & migration means.

During the next 2 weeks our theme will be “Halloween”.  We will make jack-o-lantern windsocks, ghost feet, pumpkins, glitter bats, a painting with cookie cutters, & spider hands.  We will continue to work on name printing, matching, cutting and counting.  Our letters will be Mm & Jj and we will begin to work on number recognition and number printing.  We will celebrate Halloween on Oct. 28^th/29^th so please remember to send a costume to school with your child that day.  You are also welcome to send a store bought treat for your child to hand out when we go “trick-or-treating” in our classroom.  There are currently 19 children in the Mon/Wed class & 17 in the Tues/Thurs class.
