Nighttime

This week our theme was ‘Nighttime’.  We learned about the night sky and things that we do or see at night.  The children made a rocket, an owl and a classroom book about nighttime activities.  On Wednesday & Thursday we had pajama day and pretended to have a sleepover with our friends!  Our letter for the week was Kk and we learned about the numbers 3 & 4. 

Next week our theme will be “Thanksgiving & Scarecrows”.  The children will be making turkeys, Thanksgiving placemats & scarecrows.  We will talk about what we are thankful for and also work on same vs. different, name printing, number identification, counting, colors and patterns.  We will learn about the numbers 5 & 6 and our letter for the week will be Hh.
