Activities for Monday, November 1, 2010

Today was the perfect fall day, cool, crisp air with the sun shining and no wind! We enjoyed our time on the playground today.

Willow Room- MWF class

We are starting our unit on farms. We asked the children today "Who lives on a farm?"

We read the story "when the leaf blew in" by Steve Metzger

We did Old Mc DOnald at our second circle along with the weather and the days of the week.

We painted with watercolors on coffee filters. We will turn them into turkeys.

We had alphabet letters at the easel.

We sang animal actions, and a good day song using puppets.

We are changing our dramatic play area in to a farm. We had a big farm puzzle out and we brought a lot of new materials in the room that are farm themed.

Maple room:

We read "Thanks for Thanksgiving" by Julie Markers

The children cut out feather shapes for our Thanksgiving turkey that we have posted in the hall. The children told us what they are thankful for and we wrote it on our feathers. They are posted in the hall.

We sang the November song, and the months of the year song.

We did some letter "E" activities.

Oak room

We read "Don't laugh Joe" by Keiko Kasza

We cut feather shapes and wrote on them what the children said htey were thanksful for. We added them to our turkey shape in the hall.
We sang Turkey in the brown straw, Bear hunt, and silly sally.

We are talking about the letter "H" and nocturnal animals.
