October 11th ~ 14th, 2011

I hope everyone is enjoying our beautiful weather! We are making the most of our time outside before it gets too cold. Many of the children are noticing the leaves falling and changing colors...so it is a great time to start our Leaf Unit! This week our unit is, "The Leaves Are Changing." We are also learning the letter Ll. This is a two week unit. In our sensory tub is a ton of Fall Leaves! We are having fun sorting them, crunching them, and looking at the different shapes. At our easel I put all Fall colors and I have encouraged the chidlren to paint fall leaves. They are looking great so far! Here is some info on the rest of the week...

Monday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLYSON!!

Tuesday
For our art project we colored fall leaves for the hallway. This completed our Halloween Hallways Display!
We began our letter Ll packet today. At circle time we talked about lots of words that began with the letter L and also looked at pictures. In the morning we had library class, and in the afternoon we collected leaves outside for our sensory tub. We had a lot of fun noticing the different colors and shapes of all the leaves.

Wednesday
Picture Retakes, I loved looking at all the pictures, I think everyone looked fantastic!
For our art project today we will be gluing crushed leaves on the letter L.
We will be going on a walk as a class to look at all the leaves around the school and all the different colors on the trees.
Today we will also be working on chapter 4 in Religion about how we are all special, including our animals.
Class Party volunteer forms are due today. I will send a letter home soon to those who asked to volunteer...thanks so much!
Today a letter explaining our Halloween party and parade will be sent home. Please take a minute to read and please let me know if you have any questions.
