1. The Enormous Elephant Show
Mrs. Monacelli`s Class
Week of October
17th
What we did this week:
We learned all about Pumpkins.
Started this unit off with a trip to Basses Pumpkin Farm-We learned how a pumpkin grew, what animals do in the winter, took a train ride, a hay ride, played in corn, fed the goats and of course picked out a pumpkin!
The children cut open a pumpkin in class and we counted all the seeds-426 seeds!
We made pumpkin art –how a pumpkin grows and what's inside of a pumpkin during center time.
Math Centers-Abcya.com-fuzzy bugs sorting game, Number 4 worksheet and roll and count seeds.
We learned the letter E this week. Listened to songs about the letter E, read the letter E book and thought of words that started with the letter E. We also worked in our Handwriting books on the letter E and practiced with different materials to make the letter E.
We learned all about Britteny who was the star of the week this week.
