Classroom Activities
We worked on categorizing fall objects by shape and color. We used popsicle sticks, pretzels, straws and noodles and practiced forming many letters with them. We put on a play by reenacting the story “The Five Little Pumpkins”. The children are great actors in our class. We made leaf rubbings and used fall stencils to make fall pictures. We drew pictures of animals that live in trees and we practiced drawing shapes and cutting them out staying on the line. We went on a pretend shopping trip. We used store ads to create our own pictures of the food for sale and practiced writing the food item and price. We also introduced rhyming concepts today. We played an interactive game using props and pictures to learn about words that rhyme.
Books We Read

Parent’s Corner
Dear Parents,
Thank you to all parents that donated to our classroom party. Thank you to our room parents for helping to plan and run the parties. The students had a great time.
Parent-Teacher conferences are next week. Please try to arrive on time. Conferences are 15 minutes long and the schedule is very busy. I look forward to meeting with all of you and sharing your child’s progress with you.
Parent Education Day is tomorrow from 9am-10:30am. This is a great opportunity for you to participate in fun games about health with your child. If you plan on attending, siblings are welcome to come with you. You will spend some time learning about different health awareness topics. You will then come back and join your children in rotating through 4 different center games. What a great way to be involved in school activities and spend some time with your children in their school environment.
We hope you have a nice weekend!
