October Field Trip!

We had a great time on our field trip today! Both classes had a blast at Cornbelly's! One of my favorite things was seeing all the kids in their bright yellow shirts- it sure helped us keep track of everyone! Thanks so much to our parent volunteers for all the help- we couldn't have gone without you! :)

Pumpkin Man

The kids are dying to bring this art project home, but I am keeping them for at least 2 more weeks to decorate our classroom for Halloween! So, I thought I would publish a sneak-peek here! Check out our cute "Pumkin-Men!"

Field Trip Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is our first field trip of the year- we are heading to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point!Since it is a little bit of a drive, we are going to try and leave right around 9:30 a.m. (morning class) and 1:00 p.m. (afternoon class). If you ordered a class shirt, I have them ready to go! Just have your child wear a long sleeved t-shirt and we'll put it on over the top. It should be a fun day! Thanks to all my parent volunteers- we couldn't go without you! See you tomorrow!

Short Week!

Just a quick reminder that this is a short week- we will just have school Tuesday and Wednesday, and we will be out Thursday and Friday for Fall Break. Have fun! :)

Painting Dinosaurs

In our 3 year old class on Friday, we talked all about the letter "D!" The kids loved using watercolors to paint this cute dinosaur- they were still wet at the end of class, so I'll send them home next time! :)

If you have noticed, I have been sending home pages we haven't been getting to in class. We have been talking about the numbers and the letters, we just run out of time to color the pages! Feel free to let your child color them during the week- it will be a good review!

Random Notes

Thank you, everyone for turning in your field trip permission forms (4 year old class). I am happy to announce that we have plenty of helpers, in both classes! If you volunteered to help, I am planning on you! Please let me know if something comes up and you can't come! Thanks!

Also, I am so excited to see all the children writing their names! If your child is struggling with their name, please practice with them at home. You can let them make their name out of play-doh, write it in lots of different colors, or you could cut out the letters in their name and let them decorate them. There are so many fun things you can do to help them with this important concept!

We are working on the letter E this week and the number 5. I noticed today that a lot of the kids are struggling with writing "5." This would also be something great to practice at home this week and we will be working on it in class as well!

Thanks again for sharing your sweet kids! I love each one of them!

C is for Clouds!

In my Friday three year old class we learned about the letter C... we practiced writing the letter C, we learned the "C is for Cookie" song, ate cookies for our snack, and made clouds. Too fun!

Dinosaur Day

Yesterday was our much anticipated "Dinosaur Day" in the 4 year old class. We read books about dinosaurs, ate dinosaur fruit snacks and even watched a little dinosaur movie, but the thing the kids loved most of all was making our "dinosaur fossils." They had so much fun stamping footprints in salt dough, then I threw them in the oven for awhile. After they baked, the kids had a really hard time not eating them! Maybe next year we'll make our "fossils" out of sugar cookie dough! :)
