Our Week in Photos:

📸 Here's A Little Snap Shot of Our Week📸 

We started the week learning Letter F and learning some fun fox facts!

We also learned all about "making friends."

We had fun playing cookie counting games!

I had a really hard time trying to trick our little mathematicians!

We did such a fabulous job making our chocolate chips on our counting cookies!

We used our new color of the month to start making our turkeys!

SHAVING CREAM!!!!

We had so much fun working on fine motor and sensory skills!!

Our Five Day Friends had so much fun on Halloween!

Halloween Spider Bingo was a BIG HIT!

So was dancing with Halloween Balloons!!

We learned about All Saints Day.

Did you know that our school was named after a special Saint?

f is for our fabulous frogs!

Did you know that frogs like to eat flies?!?

We are doing so well with our Letter F Formation!!

We made our funny turkey heads...

and glued them onto our fat turkey bodies!

Along with our other turkey parts!

Then we had SO MUCH FUN singing and dancing The Turkey Hokey Pokey!!

Now our turkeys are hiding out, I mean hanging out, in our classroom!!

Our Five Day Friends had so much fun making Fine Feathered F's!!

And they did such a fantastic job squeezing glue onto their F's too!!

We worked so well completing our Farm puzzle! 

And our Fall Masterpieces were phenomenal!!

We may have some future famous artists in our class!

We did SO WELL on our Mr. Potato Head Five Senses Assessments!!

The teachers really got a kick out of seeing all our Potato Head Personalities!!

We wrapped up our Five Senses Unit with some fun POPCORN POPPING!!

We used ALL our SENSES to explore our POPCORN!!!

It was so EXCITING!!!

Our Favorite sense was TASTING!!!

Our Class Graph had some very interesting results!!  I forgot to take a photo of it so you will have to ask your Taste Tester all about it!!

This may have been one of our Favorite Show and Tells yet!!

Great job on your Letter F finds families!!!

We finished off the week with some play dough FUN!!

And finally, our Fall weather has turned frigid!!

We will continue to play outside as long as the temperature stays above Freezing.

Its a good idea to dress your little one in layers and pack warm hats as well as mittens.

Feel free to keep their hats and mittens in their backpacks if your child does not wear them coming into school.  Mittens work best at this age, gloves get tricky and take too long to help the children with.  Our goal is to help them dress as quickly as possible to head outdoors so no one overheats waiting for their friends to get ready.  Also, hoods are not safe to run around outside in as they obstruct the children's peripheral vision.  Well fitting winter hats are best! 

PLEASE LABEL EVERYTHING with your child's name!!

Also, if you haven't done so already, please update our emergency clothes with long pants for your child.  Strange accidents happen in Preschool all the time!!

We 💗our Fabulous Friends!!

Hope you have a Great week!
