October

October has been a very busy month. We have a new helper chart and everyone is anxious to volunteer. We take turns putting our name cards into the helper pockets. Ask me what each pocket represents!

Our theme this month is "Halloween". Craft projects include Jack-o-lantern men, pasta skeletons, foam ghosts, and lots more. We have been reading fun books about Halloween spooks. We will be having a Halloween party on the 30th. Come dressed in your favorite costume & be ready to have lots of fun! There will be no school on the 31st.




We have been talking about fall and what happens this time of year with nature. We went on a nature walk and collected lots of fun things along the way. We looked at the different leaves and how they are turning colors. When we were done, we looked at our collections under magnifying glasses. Then we glued our collections onto heavy cardboard and made some neat nature collages.



What a fun time of year it is!

September

After much preparation and anticipation, The Exploration Station is now open. This month's theme is "All About Me". We have been learning how we are the same and different from each other. Some of the fun activities we have done are making stuffed dolls to represent us, painting pictures that show what we like to do, making giant posters of ourselves, cutting and gluing different body parts onto plates, and illustrating a book about me...ask me what the illustrator does!


Thanks to the moms who helped make our "All About Me" posters. We loved looking at them!

Ongoing activities include saying the Pledge of Allegiance, learning about the calendar and finding out what the weather is. Everyone is anxious to help and we are learning a lot. We are learning the beginning letters in our names. We have been working on recognizing our name and each of our friend's names.


One of the favorite times at school is sharing time. How fun it is to watch and listen to each other as we share something fun from home each week.
