FALL

We have been busy learning about the season of Fall, colors of leaves, if they're pointy or round, how animals survive in the fall and what the trees look like in the fall. 


Number matching.

Our nature walk was awesome! We found lots of acorns, pinecones, leaves and sticks. 







Leaf Charting: We sorted the leaves, counted the leaves, and determined which color had the most.  There were 17 brown leaves and 18 red leaves. Red leaves had the most!


We worked on cutting, matching and syllables during small group. 









Fall Patterns: We are working on extending AB, AABB, ABBA, and ABC patterns


Puzzles

Eagles came over to play cars, paint leaves and magna tiles. 






Acorn People 



Leaf Names


Recess 


Leaf Rubbings 

Music with Ms Li




We completed a shared writing together.  We wrote a story about what we like to do in the fall. We came up with the title: Fall Fun and shared our ideas using extended grammatically correct sentences.


How many leaves will we roll onto our tree? During math, we rolled the dice, identified the number, and counted that many "leaves" on our bare trees.  At the end, we counted all the "leaves" for a total number. 



"Shake, shake, shake, Today is Friday!"  We reviewed our calendar, sang months of the year, days of the week, and counted to find our date. We have A LOT of special events this month: Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, and 2 birthdays! We are practicing language of today, yesterday, tomorrow, next week, last week, etc.

Today was Show and Tell: We practiced asking and answering a variety of questions. Henry brought a ball from Chuck E Cheese and Ky brought a Christmas ornament/decoration that played Christmas songs. 



In art today we prepared projects to celebrate Veteran's Day. We made banners and flags for our parade and read a book about the hero Veterans in our neighborhoods.








Today we made bird feeders to hang outside our school.  We used our sequencing words to talk about how to make a bird feeder with bird seed and peanut butter. We used first, second, third, then, next, and last.
