Daily Update - I'm Thankful For...

Today we went searching for our names. We poured out a container of foam letters and the children dug through and found the letters in their names. After they spelled their name we took our letters to the table and made placemats for our Thanksgiving Gathering.

REMINDER: Parent Involvement Day tomorrow 9:00-10:00. Thanksgiving Gathering Tuesday, November 20th 10:00-10:30.

We drew pictures of things that we are thankful for today. We also had fun sorting pumpkins and candy corn and trying to pick them up with tweezers.

Daily Update - Insects

Today we sat out the big box of scraps for the children to create insects. They made some creative little things! Our star of the weeks Nana came to have lunch and read to us!

Daily Update - Insects

We played our bumble bee game at circle time; The children draw a bee out of the beehive and it tells them something to do, like pat your knees, wiggle your fingers, jump 3 times, etc... Pretty simple, but they love it!! We also sang The Ants Go Marching, and for table time we sat out the bucket of shapes, glue, wiggly eyes, and markers for them to create their own bugs.
REMINDER: Book Orders are due this Friday, November 9th. Parent Involvement Day is November 15th. We are inviting you to join us from 9:00-10:00 for Circle Time and a special play dough table activity! It doesn't have to be a parent it can be a Grandparent if you are not able to join us.  

Daily Update - Election Day

It is election day in America! So we took a break from insects and talked about voting and our President. We had our very own, very unofficial election and Obama beat Romney by a vote of 8 to 3. I hope that all of our families also remembered to get out and vote today; It is a right that we are very lucky to have! Miss Vicky from the Library came and read some fun Thanksgiving books to us and gave us a Turkey coloring page. Our Star of the Week's Gram joined us for lunch, we love having special visitors. For art time we did some red, white and blue painting that turned into a color mixing project and all of the papers look purple :o)
