A Busy Week of Fun and Learning!

 Making a special gift for our families.
 Enjoying a tea party with friends.
 We are such good writers!  So proud!
 
 Learning about germs and washing our hands using glitter and lotion.  It was difficult to wash our germs"glitter and lotion" off.
 
 
 
 Our prayer before snack...one of the best parts of the day.
 Sometimes we read alone...
 and sometimes we read to our friends.
 These two boys were taking VERY good care of this little teddy bear.  So sweet.  :)
 Rocking and bouncing her baby.
 We earned a "Rock Star" party for being such kind friends and making good choices.  It was an absolute BLAST!

Loving Life at Preschool!

 Making our friendship spiderweb.  We had to pick a friend, give them a compliment and then throw them the ball of yarn.
 
 Telling a bible story with friends.
 
 These boys are amazing builders!
 Spiders in the sensory table.
 Spiders and webs in the hallway!
 
 Practicing our letters in shaving cream.
 
 Some of us use whiteboards because we don't like to get messy.  ;)
 
 
 We are getting so good at counting and number recognition.  Keep working on this at home!
 
 The office and the grocery store are always busy during "Grow Your Brain" time.
 Making beautiful art!
 On election day, we voted for what our class party would be.  We earned a class party by filling our friends' buckets.  :)
 
 Weaving webs just like The Very Busy Spider in the book written by Eric Carle.

Officer Pote and Fall Party Celebration!

 Officer Pote came to discuss stranger danger and how to trick-or-treat safely.  We even got to sit in his vehicle AND turn the sirens on!  "Mark is soooooo much fun!" said one of our students.  We agree, he was super fun!  Thanks, Mark!
 
 
 
 Thanks for the awesome banana ghosts, Charity, and the amazing rice krispy treats, Mama Lori!  We have amazing parents and grandma's!
 Humbug Witch came to read us a story.  I wonder who that was?
 Amazing builders!
 We love Ms. Malissa!   One of our students brought her this Color Eye Spy book and was so excited that it looked just like Ms. Malissa!
 Our little blessings!  We missed you, Margaret.
 Fun games to celebrate the season! 
 
 
 


Thank  you to all our families for helping to make our party a success!  We had a great time and made some amazing memories.

More Spiders and the Letter T!



We will continue our study on spiders this week!  I am having a blast with this one and so are the kiddos, Ms. Malissa is still unsure if she is going to enjoy learning so much about these amazing creatures...she is a bit freaked out by them!  :)


Unit Study- Spiders



Letter of the Week-  T

Math-   Putting numbers in order 1-10 and counting ten objects using one-to-one correspondence.

Science-    What do spiders do when it gets cold out?  (While we were outside on a spider hunt on Friday, we were searching for spiders, but could not find any, which lead to the question...  "Ms. Hollie, where are the spiders at?  Is it too cold outside?"  Hmmmm...great question, let's find the answer together next week.

Social Emotional-  Giving compliments

Dramatic Play-  Office

PLEASE remember to pack hats and mittens as the temperature gets colder.  We have lots of cold little heads during our outdoor time.  Thank you!
