We are finishing up our unit on leaves this week, along with the letter Ll. Recess time has been especially fun with all the leaves on the ground!
I have added a few new stations to our free play time. We have a cutting table now, where the children practice cutting out different designs on paper. Another station is our "name station" where the children are using dry erase markers on their own laminated name sheet to print their name and trace their name. I also have a coloring table, where the children can free draw and also use some fall stencils to add to their pictures. So far, they seem to love all of these activities!
Here is a look at our week...
Monday
Today we worked on our letter Ll packet. In the afternoon I taught the class a Fall poem about leaves, it was a lot of fun to recite it back. We also found a few new toys to play with during free play! Serenity, one of the 3 year old preschoolers, mom donated a bunch of new things for our classroom. We now have a set of multicultural dolls, a big variety of dress up clothes, and also a brand new set of puzzles! She also gave us some art supplies that we are so excited to use. Thank you Mrs. Lindley!
Our classroom is looking great with all of our fall decorations too!
Tuesday

Recyclable Art
Wednesday
We will be working on our printing today. Two times a month, the children practice printing their name and the date and then they draw a picture, these are kept the entire year in their portfolio and will be sent home for you at the end of the year.
For our Art project we will be collecting leaves and make our own leaf collages on contact paper.
Thursday
Chapter 5 in Religion today. We will be working on chapter 5 this week and next.
Library in the morning and afternoon today!
Recyclable Art!
Friday
Today we will finish up with Letter Ll and practice printing letter Ll again. We are really enjoying printing letter L, as it is one of our easier letters :)
We will be making a leaf flip book today using our color words.
