What a beautiful sight it is to see our green leaves turning colors. Fall is here! All week, we explored our Fall colors, leaves and Fall weather. We got to go on a leaf hunt in such beautiful weather this week. It was a great way to compare colors, shapes and different sizes. Our letter of the week was the letter L. We got creative and used leaves to trace our chalk L. We all started with a big line and finished our letter off with a small line. We practiced rolling the L with play-dough and used chalk too. If we couldn't remember how to form the letter L, we always had our two fingers to remind us.
In the middle of the week, we had a great surprise. We were visited by real fire fighters and a fire truck! We were all so excited to explore the truck and get to know more about what a fire fighter's job is like, as well as, fire prevention and fire safety. Thank you to the Oxford Fire Department for taking the time to visit with us!
By the end of the week, we enjoyed being illustrators of our leaf rubbing books. We also enjoyed stamping with leaves and paint. There are so many ways to enjoy the gifts nature gives us. With so many colors, shapes and sizes of leaves and beautiful weather, it makes for great learning opportunities, in a natural environment.
Next week is Red Ribbon Week!! The activities for the week are posted on our school website. Also, the K-Kids fundraiser, Hat Day is approaching. If you send in a $1 before October 28th, your child may wear his/her favorite hat all day, on Friday the 28th! I hope everyone gets a chance to get out this weekend and enjoy the beauty around us. Have a great weekend!
