Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

This week we had a pumpkin science lesson.  We observed a whole pumpkin and then I used my big strong muscles to crack it open so we could see what was inside.  The children loved feeling all the slimy seeds.

We also had a great time making our letter F into a fish, writing the number 3 and learning about patterns.  I was impressed with how fast they caught on to completing patterns.

Next week will be full of fun.  We will be going on a hayride to a pumpkin patch at Black Island Farms and enjoying a fun party day for Halloween.  Remember we will meet at Black Island Farms at 11:00 AM on Monday/Tuesday.

Crabs, Dancing and Fire

We have had a lot of fun the past two weeks. Along with learning about the letter C and D, we had a special visitor and learned about fire safety.

Rocky the hermit crab came to visit our class and teach us about where and how crabs live. 

Since we were learning about the letter D this week, we did a lot of d..d..dancing!

This last week was fire safety week. We learned how to prevent fires and what to do in case a fire does happen. We even did fire drills in the rain. 

Don't forget that next week there will be no school on Thursday and Friday and field trip envelopes need to be turned in next week.
