Week of October 7, 2024

So cute!! and So true!!

Weekly Recap:

We had a dynamite week learning about Dogs and Dinosaurs! We loved our Dancing Candy Corns and had so much fun with color mixing experiments!!

A Peek at our Week Ahead:

This week we will be reviewing Letters Aa, Bb, Cc and Dd.  We will be focusing on fire fighters and will get to visit with real Roxbury Fire Fighters and their trucks on Wednesday!!  We will continue to work on triangles and the Number two as well.  

Dressing for the weather:  As the weather begins to get colder, please dress your child for outdoor play.  I recommend sending your child in a well fitting, warm hat as opposed to wearing a hood as their vision is obstructed with their hood when they run and play on the playground.  Layers are always a good idea as well as we will continue to keep our classroom windows open (even with the heat on) throughout the upcoming months to better ventilate the classroom.  Having a sweater or sweatshirt over their outfits in addition to outerwear is always a good idea so they can peel them on and off if they get warm or chilly.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE label everything with your child's name!!  If you can't find a good spot, use a sharpie and write their name or initials on the washing instructions tag on the inside of the garment.

Letter of the Week: Letter Review: Aa, Bb, Cc and Dd

We LOVE playing OUTSIDE!!!











Catches with Father Jun are always a big hit!!













D is for Dogs!!
Ask your little one all about the funny Dog storybook we read!!








Then we experimented with paint colors!!
Do you know what you get when you mix yellow and red?!?!


ORANGE!!!


We used our new color to paint a fire scene.  It's the first step in a cool craft coming home next week!!




We had so much fun with our new color that we decided to make something else with it...  This time we used sponges!!

We loved using our noses to create our smelly masterpieces!!



Our smell test was hilarious!!  Be sure to ask your little sniffer which scent they preferred: garlic, coffee, cinnamon or syrup!!


Although they disagreed on favorite Smell Test Scents, everyone agreed that smelly markers were so much fun to create masterpieces with!!













Free Choice Show and Tell was so cool!!










(Sometimes we Show and Tell, other times we just TELL!!!) lol

Hope you have a dynamite week!
