Week 10 in Mixed Age

Hello Families,

What a quick week, always strange to have only 2 days of school but we certainly got a lot done and the weather was perfect for outside play!!! Here is what we did in the classroom.

Math~ Numbered 1-5 locks and keys. This was a very popular center this week. The kids had to match the correct key to the lock by counting the numbers of beads on the key chain. Each lock had a number 1-5 as well as dots for that number so if they could not recognize the number they could count the dots on the lock instead.

Discovery~ Foam wreaths with golf tees and elastics. This is a great activity for strengthening the muscles in their fingers. 

Art/Writing~ Thankful Turkeys (picture included). There was also Letter B sheets and plain paper and Thanksgiving stickers for the kids to use.

Easel~ Painting with green or blue paint using pine cones.

Listening Center~ Pete the Cat Rocking in my School Shoes.

Pretend Center~ The kids have been very busy cleaning the classroom as well as taking care of the babies that are now at the center. 

Books:

Cookies Week By Cindy Ward (This was a favorite book today and they even requested we read it again while we were eating snack....which we did)

No School Tomorrow November 11, in Observance of Veterans Day. See you all on Monday!

Please have your child bring in 1 item for the letter C next on Monday for show and tell. I have really enjoyed listening to the kids talk about their items so far!! Keep it up!! 

Have a wonderful weekend! 

Regards,
