Our theme this week was fall. The students had fun making leaf soup, sweeping up the leaves in our classroom, and painting fall trees using tinfoil as a paintbrush.
Our song this week was "All the Leaves are Falling Down." This is a little action song that the kids really enjoyed. I will attach the words in case you want to sing it at home as well. Singing familiar songs with your children helps to practice and reinforce those developing language and early literacy skills.
Fall Walk
We spent some time outside this week collecting leaves and enjoying nature. We sorted the leaves by color (red, yellow, brown, and green). The students discovered that red leaves were the hardest to find. And the color we found the most of??? Brown!
Story Time!
Over the past two weeks we have been reading "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Turkey" by Lucille Colandro. This is a fun song book that is full of rhyming words. The students had fun retelling the story this past week as we took turns "feeding" the old lady the different items that she eats in the book.
In the Gym
This week we enjoyed exploring basketballs, rackets, hula hoops, and bean bags. The students were eager to try bouncing, passing, catching, and hitting balls.
