Our Theme and Activities
The theme this week continues to be pumpkins and Halloween. The activities for the week are pictured below!
Our letter of the week is I.
Our number is still 2.
Our shape is still square.
Monday 10/24
Today we will be introducing the book The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin .We will make a Spookley and compare him to a real pumpkin!
Tuesday 10/25
Today we will be making a skeleton craft. It's a surprise for you so I can't show you the picture yet ;) We will also be practicing our recognition of number 2 by completing a "find the 2s" paper. Finally, we will work on letter I by using our Handwriting Without Tears materials.
Thursday 10/27
Coffee filter bats are on the agenda for today! These fun crafts are made by dropping drops of liquid watercolors onto a coffee filter, watching the colors blend and letting it dry. Then we add a clothespin to make the wings! Final touches of googly eyes and teeth make him complete.
10/28
Today is National Cat Day! We will be making a Peek A Boo cat book similar to the photo. Each friend will get an orange paper, make a cat, and glue them where they want. Then they will tell us where the cat is on the page (bottom, top, side, corner), and we will add words to the page. We put all the pages together to make a class book!
Cat Book Sample
I made a book for us to read each day so they knew how to set up their cat book page. This is a page from that sample.
