FRIDAY NEWSLETTER
Friday, November 12, 2010


A chill is in the air and the smell of cinnamon all around us! This is my favorite season. We continued to talk about vegetables and healthy eating this week. We have been practicing our cutting, coloring, pasting and writing skills. We are getting close to the Thanksgiving holiday, so good food and fresh vegetables are on our minds. We all helped to make our large harvest basket and vegetables for our classroom bulletin board. We snipped paper for our carrots, used broccoli to paint our broccoli cut out, finger painted our kernels on our corn, glued pom poms for peas, colored radishes with markers and glued cotton balls on our cauliflower cut out. Our basket of vegetables looks great! We continued to work on tracing our names and reviewed letter sounds. We also worked on expressions of feeling! It was fun and silly to watch each other make, happy, sad and angry faces! We even had a bus evacuation drill this week and enjoyed an assembly on Tuesday!

This week, we enjoyed Fall BINGO in the math center and stamping in the art center. The listening center has been reopened and the children love hearing their favorite stories on CD and following along independently, in a book. They also enjoyed the doll house in the dramatic play center and pretending to pop the corn in the sand and water table.

Next week, we will be discussing Pilgrims and the Thanksgiving Day holiday! Picture retakes are on Monday. I hope you all enjoy your weekend!
