Week of October 26, 2020

EEEEEEEKKKKKK Week!

We loved some of our smelly marker scents more than others!

Building triangles with popsicle sticks was so fun!

Triangle eyes and noses were fun to put on our jack-o-lanterns but deciding whether to make them grumpy or happy was the best part!

Painting our plates green was the first step to making our scary monsters!!

Egg balancing is a lot trickier than it looks!!!

We have been doing such an amazing job lining up and walking in a straight line!

Wait until you see our MUMMIES!!!!   (They are still drying in our classroom...)

Playing on our playground is such a ball!!!

EEEEEKKKK!!!!!  Did our Halloween monsters scare you?  Or maybe our Witch song did?  Ask your little pumpkin to sing it to you if they haven't already. If they need a prompt, it starts like this, "Stirring and Stirring."  That should get them going!  They've already learned two others as well so you may be hearing them around the house too!

This week was so exciting!  Letter Ee, elephants, eggs, egg balancing games, monsters, mummies, jack-o-lanterns, sense of smell and Halloween songs were just a few of our highlights!  Did your little monster point out their jack-o-lantern's TRIANGLE eyes and nose?!?  They have been doing so well learning their shapes!  

Did your little stinker tell you which was his/her favorite and least favorite smell during our smell test?  (Garlic was an almost unanimous least favorite and favorite was a toss up between cinnamon and syrup but most surprising, coffee was one of our little munchkin's favorite smell!!!)  

This upcoming week will be a review week in PreK-3.  We will focus on all of the letters we've learned so far, Aa-Ee.  We will also be working on our sense of touch.  And we will finish off the week by celebrating HALLOWEEN in our classroom!  I can't believe how quickly the weeks are flying by!
