Hot Hands

This week we learned about the letter H, the number 5 and different modes of transportation.

We started the week by turning our letter H into happy hippos.  After we learned what the H looked like, we had to figure out what sound it made.  The children quickly discovered that if you put your hand near your mouth while making the h sound it makes your hand hot.

We also discussed different modes of transportation this week.  We used a variety to get from place to place in the school.  On Friday, we made a hot air balloon and blew up a real balloon using baking soda and vinegar instead of our mouths.

Next week we will be talking about the letter I and Thanksgiving.

If you haven't got a chance to look at the Thanksgiving Feast sign up sheet and you would like to bring something to our feast, ask for the list at pick up or drop off.  The feast will take place on Monday November 25 and Tuesday November 26.  We will be out of school the rest of the week for Thanksgiving Break.

Science and Scarecrows

This week we learned about the letter G and the fall harvest.  We reviewed the number 2 and the shape triangle.

We also did a science experiment with candy.  We dissolved candy in water and added baking soda to see which candies are acidic.  Nerds exploded like a volcano!


On Friday we made scarecrow puppets.  The children loved making a puppet show with them at centers.

Holiday Fun

We had loads of fun this week!  Even in the crazy wind and rain we went on a hayride to the pumpkin field, saw some animals, went on slides and rode the train at Black Island Farms.

At our Halloween Party we made crafts, played games and trick or treated

I would like to say thank you to all of you who helped out this week it was fun but crazy and I couldn't have done it without you!
