Bug Week
I thought it would be a perfect topic to discover, with Halloween just around the corner.
We learned the characteristics of an insect and made a giant insect for our classroom with all the right parts!
We took our knowledge out for a Bug Walk and made observational drawings of different insects, spiders, and all types of critters we found. Here the students are carefully observing an ant and drawing the different parts they see on their clipboards.
Later we practiced our Roly Poly skills on the hill.
Nice form!
Our Balanced Literacy book this week was about Spiders - make sure to read it with your child. We also made our own bug books, and snuck in a lesson on color words. We'll be doing more with color words in the next couple of weeks.
Thursday was Show & Teach. All the students did a great job teaching us their skill! Connor helped everyone make their own calendar flower- which the students were so excited about. I"ll have to take a picture of our big calendar flower so you know what they're talking about.
Reese brought her bicycle and taught us how to ride without training wheels! The children were in awe :)
And of course...
our Halloween Party was this week!
What cuties I have in my class!
We had lots of fun treats...
We made our own Halloween cookies and decorated them.
And we played lots of fun games!
Ellie was a pro at throwing those rings on the witches hat.
Monster Musical Chairs was a favorite
Logan was the Supreme Monster - he won every time!
We sure had a fun week!
I hope your children enjoy their Trick-or-Treat bags and the books inside!
Next week continues our Fantastic Fall Unit: Leaves!
Just a heads up:
No preschool the last week in November (29th, 30th, and Dec 1st)
Our Thanksgiving Feast will be Tuesday, November 22nd - and there will be no preschool the rest of that week (Nov 23rd or 24th).
