This Week at a Glance:
Tuesday—swim class at the Y
Wednesday—trip to the farm for Group A [Elizabeth, Elliott, Emerson, Daniel, Jackson, Clara, Addi, Eren]. This is potentially our last trip to the farm, dependent on the weather next week!
*Next Friday (October 30th)—the WF Halloween Parade! Next Friday we will have our Halloween parade at 4:00 pm (outside, weather permitting). Parents are welcome to join us as we showcase our costumes and perform a short Halloween song! If children would like to dress up, they can bring their costumes to school and the teachers will help them get dressed before the parade.
Hello! This morning we began to work with the corn kernels we popped off the corn cobs last week. Friends used glue and popsicle sticks to make a design with the kernels. The complexity of friend’s designs varied with age, but everyone was very focused in this fine motor skill work.
Habitrail was a busy area today as friends worked with cars and explored a toy from the basement, our wooden fire station!
Several large creations were made today as well, including a car track and swimming pool complete with a “kiddie pool.”
Today for snack the Purple Porch brought us a unique fruit known as a “Jujube”! We learned that the jujube has a small pit and tastes very sweet. After hearing a teacher spell “jujube” out loud, Clara declared, “it has a pattern! J-u-j-u!”
Reactions were mixed with some friends refusing to try, others disliking the taste and some loving the sweet flavor!
Kindergarten: For kindergarten today Elliott and Elizabeth decided to start a “stocking project.” Today we chose the color felt we wanted to work with, drew a stocking shape and cut it out. Future steps that the two decided on include sewing the stocking together, stuffing it and then taking it home. We will see where this project takes us!
Have a wonderful Monday! –Jessica
