Learning About the Story of the First Thanksgiving

We are getting ready for Thanksgiving in our classroom this week. We have been busy learning about the story of the first Thanksgiving and talking about the things we are grateful for. The girls have created a Thanksgiving word wall with words such as Pilgrims, Native Americans, Mayflower, Plymouth, England, and corn. They are having fun putting together a Thanksgiving book using their new knowledge. We are especially looking forward to Grandparents and Special Friends Day on Tuesday, November 25th. We can't wait to share our classroom with our special visitors!

Practicing ordering numbers and playing games to make it fun!

Fall Fun!

A wonderful Halloween celebration! 

                                               Our focus this week in science has been

                                                              changes in the leaves. 

                                           The girls learned the basic concept of why the                                                                                                             leaves change color.

                                     We introduced 3 trees while taking a fall walk on campus.

                                        We now have very excited, observant scientists 

                                                  who can identify the leaves below.

                                           HAVE FUN IDENTIFYING THE LEAVES.
                                YOU MAY ASK YOUR DAUGHTER FOR HELP IF NEEDED!

                                                                 

A focus of symmetry in nature continues.

The girl's lovely, unique symmetrical trees 

now decorate the room.
