Activities for Friday, Nov. 6

All classes went outside today and enjoyed another beautiful fall day raking leaves, jumping in them , and just running around chasing one another too. We had a lot of fun going down the slides today too.

Willow Room- MWF class:

Our story today was "Big Fat Hen" and "Where do chickens come from?" We talked about eggs we eat and eggs on farms that hatch into chickens.

We did a group art picture by painting with corn husks today. We had magnetic letters at the easel.

Some of our table activities were farm animal puzzles, a number puzzle where once you put the numbers in order, you end up with a picture of a farm animal. WE also had out a farm animal sorting board.

For music we sang "Tap your toe and follow me.", "stinky cake", and "cows get up in the morning".

We had feeder corn in the sensory table, we have pretend eggs we are waiting to hatch into chickens. We have new farm puppets and farm animals in our Willow farm int eh dramatic corner.

Maple Room- MWF class

Pooh's Fall Harvest by Isabel Gaines was our story today. We always do our calendar, weather, days of the week, and a counting or patterning activity at circle time.

We painted with rubber bands today- we taped rubber bands to pencils, dipped them in paint and moved them around on paper. We had glitter watercolors at the easels.

For music we sang "Old McDonald had a band using instruments", November song", and "funny fall animals".

Oak Room-

We read "Sam and the firefly" by PD Eastman. It is a story about a firefly who makes words in the sky and gets into trouble.

Then for art, we took black paper and yellow paint and used alphabet stampers to make letters in the sky like the story.

We had magnetic blocks and and ABC magnetic puzzle out today.

The children helped change the dramatic corner materials today.

We did "list of dances" for music.
