\\Hello Everyone!
This week was a very busy week in our classroom! We are still learning about Fall and this week we talked about pumpkins!
During circle time the children enjoyed learning our new poem about pumpkins:
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 Wooooooooooooo went the wind.
And OUT went the lights.
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
When we learned this poem we used our fingers to show the ordinal numbers 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
Our book this week was Leaf Man, by Lois Ehlert
Here is a link to the book with some activies you may want to do with your child at home.

After reading this beautifully illustrated book about a whimsical leaf man who travels wherever the wind blows, we went outside and collected leaves, acorns and other fall items so that the children could create their very own leaf men and women!
Another fun activity during grouptime this week was painting and decorating paperbag pumpkins.The children can't stop looking at their pumpkins and they add a spooky cheeriness to the classroom!
For our art project this week the children made SPOOKY SPIDERS with googly eyes. We talked about how real spiders have eight legs. Each child was asked to count out eight legs for their spiders. The spiders came out really cute and they now adorn our classroom wall!
Our writing center had many visitors this week! Joey's parents donated Halloween paper and Halloween pens and the children really LOVED them.
