Activities for Thursday, October 22

All classes were in the gym today with trikes, alligator rocker, basketball hoop and balls.

Willow Room- T/Th class

Our book today was "It's pumpkin time" by Joe Hall and we looked at our class pumpkin and talked about what the pumpkin looks like.

For art today, we cut some mini pumpkins in half and used them to make pumpkin prints by pressing the pumpkin into orange glitter paint and pressing it onto black paper. At the easel we had orange chalk and black paper.

Our table activities were and apple sorting game, Mr. Pumpkin Head ( like Mr. Potato head, but we use real pumpkins!), and some new orange playdough with pumpkin shape cutters.

We sang a song called " buy a pumpkin in the pumpkin patch", each child gets a "penny" and gets to come up when their name is called to "buy" a flannel board pumpkin. It is a good listening skills song.
We also did a favorite of "brown bear, brown bear".

Oak Room:

We read "one smart skunk" by Harriet Ziefert
For the letter "F" we asked "Does your name have an "f" in it? Nobody has an "f" in their name.

For art today, we made leaf prints- we painted on real leaves and pressed paper onto it to make a print.

We had out number puzzles, magnetic writing boards, and "What picture doesn't belong cards?"

We did some bean bag activities for music, the train song where you move around the room balancing bean bags in different ways.
