Welcome to our new blogspot!

Instead of doing a weekly newsletter, I've decided to try out the world of blogging. Here, I can post pictures, update you more frequently, and have more space to write!

Last week, we started our Fall unit. Our activities included leaf rubbing, apple stamping, an apple tree counting game, and a handwriting lesson.

Our song was, "Little Apples":

One little, two little, three little apples

Four little, five little, six little apples

Seven little, eight little, nine little apples

All fell to the ground

For the week of October 15th, we are continuing our fall unit. We are exploring all things pumpkin! So far, we have created pumpkins out of paper bags and newspaper, and used an eye dropper to strengthen our finger muscles and create a tie-dyed type of leaf art project. We're looking forward to another Handwriting without Tears lesson and counting activivites centered around our Five Little Pumpkin poem.

"Five Little Pumpkins"

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate

The first one said, "Oh, my it's getting late."

The second one said, "There are witches in the air."

The third one said, "But we don't care!"

The fourth one said, "Let's run, Let's run!"

The fifth one said, "Isn't Halloween fun?"

Then Woo went the wind and OUT went the lights.

Five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

Please check in often to see what we're up to as we grow from buds to blossoms!
