November 3-7

 Brrrrrrrr.....

The cold weather is here! This week we were excited to see snowflakes outside of our window and at the park when we went to play.  Please remember to dress your child for the weather as we go outside almost everyday.  Mittens work best for little hands.  Please help your child learn how to independently put on their jacket and zip it up.  Boots, hats, mittens, and coats will soon be part of our daily routine.

This week we began our number journals and read a silly story called "How to Count to One".  We learned how to show the number in different ways using a ten frame, writing the number and showing it as a picture. 

This week we did some scientific exploration as we cut apart some pumpkins to see what was inside.  We learned all about different types of pumpkins, what colours pumpkins can be and how they grow.  We have planted our pumpkin and we are watering it everyday.  We are waiting to see if it will sprout.

The Mystery Box was back at carpet this week for our next letter.  Inside the box we found lots of things that began with our new letter- the letter A.  We were able to try to play an accordion- it made such an interesting sound.  We also found a toy alligator, an anteater, an apple and an acorn.  We practiced printing the letter A in our letter books and we drew things that began with the letter A.  Ask your child what sound an A makes.

This week we also spent time talking about Remembrance Day.  We learned that a Poppy stands for Peace.  We used tissue paper to make our own poppy and we shared with our classmates what makes us feel peaceful and when we feel most at peace- calm, caring, and loving.

We had picture day this week.  We smiled so beautifully.  There will be retakes in the next few weeks if you missed it.
