Happy Fall Break! We spent this last week of school discussing seasons. We read Tap The Magic Tree by Christie Matheson, Falling Leaves, and Five Little Pumpkins. I will post the lyrics to the 5 little pumpkins song at the bottom if anyone wants to sing it with their child over break :)
We had corn in the touch table and took a walk to collect some fall leaves. We talked about the colors, changes of seasons, and described the texture of the leaves we found. We also learned how to make a leaf rubbing with crayons, leaves, and paper. The kiddos painted their paper plate wreaths, traced their hands, and glued leaves to the wreaths. They turned out really cute! We also worked on some cutting with scrap paper and did vertical chalk on the easel.
We had some beautiful weather for outdoor play and had a fire drill Thursday. The kids did great!
We are also constantly working on using our manners (ie "yes please" and "no thank you" and saying "thanks" when a friend holds the door for us). We also reviewed covering our coughs/sneezes with our elbows and washing our hands properly. We had a great week!
5 Little Pumpkins Song:
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
First one said "Oh my, it's getting late!"
Second one said "There are witches in the air,"
Third one said "but we don't care!"
Fourth one said "Let's run and run and run."
Fifth one said "I'm ready for some fun!"
Ooo ooo went the wind, and out went the lights,
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
First one said "Oh my, it's getting late!"
Second one said "There are witches in the air,"
Third one said "but we don't care!"
Fourth one said "Let's run and run and run."
Fifth one said "I'm ready for some fun!"
Ooo ooo went the wind, and out went the lights,
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
