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!

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. 

Catching On

I can't believe we have already had three weeks of school!  All of the kids are starting to settle in and learn the routine.  Thank you everyone for your patience at pick up.  Staying inside until their name is called is one of the hardest concepts for the kids to learn, but it is necessary for everyone to stay safe.

This week we learned about the letter A, alligators, acorns and apples.




Everyone did a great job tracing our first letter

        We had a lot of fun getting messy while we made acorns








Someone even brought everyone happy meals
for their birthday treat




Next week we will be learning about the letter B, birds, boats and bats.

First Week

Our first week went great!  I loved meeting all my new students and cant wait to get to know all of them.

This week we talked about the rules of the school, how to trace and how to cut.  Thank you all for your patience while we all get to know each other and how to follow the rules.

Folders will start going home Monday/Tuesday this week.  Inside will be your child's work from last week and a homework sheet to do at home.

Don't forget if you haven't brought in a 2x2 picture please send one with your child.  We will use these everyday in class.

Time for School!

It is almost time for school to start and I can't wait!  I am excited to see my returning students and meet all of my new ones.  My helper teacher Miss Rita and I have been working hard to get our classroom ready for you.  I think you will like all of the animals in our zoo.  Don't forget to bring your 2x2 picture and your All About Me paper with you to Back to School Night.  See you soon!

Catch Up

Hey guys sorry I missed a week or two. With holidays, field trips and teachers in the hospital it has been a crazy couple of weeks.  Here is a brief review of all we have done.
                                                                                 

We celebrated Valentines Day by making monsters and heart people, talked about all of the things we love and passed out valentines to all of our friends.  We also learned about penguins and how they care for their young.  Our Friday classes used bean bags to see what it would be like to be a penguin daddy and carry an egg on their feet.

Our next week was a short week.  We had just enough time to talk about Q and introduce Dr. Suess.

This week we talked about the letter R.  We made rainbows and learned a lot more about Dr. Suess.  On wed we all made Cat in the Hat hats and turned into sill cat in the hats.  We also got to bring something our favorite color for show and tell.  I loved seeing all of your cool things.

Dont forget to look in folders this week.  There was a lot of information sent home this week!
