Friday News
Friday, October 23rd 2009
This week we finished our unit on leaves by taking a “Leaf Walk” and looking for the special colors of fall. We used these leaves to create “My Book of Leaves.” The children know the colors of fall leaves, and we also talked about sizes and shapes. We sorted by color and counted, too!We introduced our theme of “pumpkins” and patterned big and little pumpkins. We made a story board for “Five Little Pumpkins.” The children have enjoyed reading this story together. Their story board will come home next week and they can share it with you, too.
Next week begins Red Ribbon week here at OCS. You should have received information about the week’s events. We painted a pumpkin this past week that we will hide for the 8th graders to find. They painted and hid one for us, too! We will use their clues to try to find a pumpkin in our school somewhere! We also have a few spirit days next week, so please see your notice for the information.
Friday the 30th is our Halloween class party. Please remember it begins at 10:00 a.m. for parents. I think we have all of the goodies that we need- thank you so much to everyone who is willing to help out on this day. It should be lots of fun. I can’t wait to see all of the great costumes that I have been hearing so much about.
I have attached the recipe we used to make Pumpkin Pie Playdough- it’s very easy and the kids loved it. It made our whole room smell delicious.
Have a wonderful weekend!
