Aa and Lots of Pumpkins

It was fun to learn about pumpkins this week as we prepared for Fall Break.  
Our teachers are constantly teaching the children in everything they do.  Look at HORIZONTAL..... 
 and VERTICAL!!!!
 
The four year olds cooked on Friday. They made apple pie with canned biscuits, apple pie filling and special cinnamon and sugar.  They were yummy! First they stretched the biscuit. Next the apple pie filling was placed on top of the biscuit.  Then the biscuit was folded over and baked.  Last they ate the apple pies.


 

 



Have you ever heard the phrase, "Find a bubble"?  Look at this great bubble.  She is ready to listen to her teacher.

Here's another bubble.  This helps the children stop talking so they can hear what the teacher is saying.
 
 
Time for the playground...
 


Here's a cute little Lunch Bunch group eating lunch together before they play.

Last week the children learned about the letter Cc.

Pumpkins are showing up everywhere!




These animals belong on the farm.

I love the apple orchard. 

 



These are ALLIGATORS.  All the children remembered making these animals!  I love the interesting details each child added!


Here are some of the fours "sight words."

These children compared their heights in apples.

These children gathered information and created a bar graph to show their favorite color apples.

Patterns on their names...

Blocks and the Letter T

It seemed that every room I visited this week was filled with children creating with blocks.  Blocks are so fun and are a creative open-ended toy.  As you begin to make gift lists for Christmas, evaluate your child's blocks and see what might be useful and could lead to hours of fun!!!!
 
 


It is always fun to see what children will do with their creations...look at these new friends.
 


We had Stretch and Grow this week.  Coach Ernest took them on a trip into space as they practiced movements-high and low; up and down; fast and slow!

 
 
These fellows put their space ships on their "craniums."

I hope you love the new orange T-shirts as much as I do!!!  Designing and ordering T-shirts is always a risk to me, but I really love these.
 
 
 
 
 
It's fun to play with your friends on the playground!

These fours help Mrs. Christy clean the room.

These fours listen to Mrs. Stevi read a story!


Mrs. Whitney helps these fours make paper pumpkins!  How cute.


It's fun to sort in the sensory tub.

It is always fun to choose to read.

 

It's fun to make your own snack...pumpkin muffins.


 
 I can't wait until next week!!!!
