Halloween

This week we have been getting ready for Halloween! We have learned about bats and spiders. We made skeletons out of macaroni and q-tips. We also made black cats. Next week we will learn all about pumpkins!

Parents, don't forget to send in some wrapped candy to for the student's goody bags on Monday!

Community Helpers

This week we learned about community helpers. Some of the community helpers we learned about were doctors, nurses, construction workers, fire fighters, teachers and dentists. We learned about some of the ways that these people help our community. We also had a great time at the Ft. Stewart fire station! We saw real firemen in their gear. They showed us their fire trucks and some of their tools that they use to save people from fires. We even got to get inside the fire truck and meet Sparky!

Fire Safety

This week we have been getting ready for our field trip to the fire station! We have been learning all about fire safety. You can go on to http://www.sparky.com/ with your child and review some of the fire safety lessons that they have been learning this week!

Fall

This week we learned all about fall. We learned about animals that hibernate and how the leaves turn colors and fall off of the trees. We also learned about scarecrows. We read books about fall and made scarecrows and made lots of things with fall leaves.

I still need some of your I Care feedback forms. Please send them in as soon as possible if you have not already done so. Also, we will be going to the Ft. Stewart Fire Station on Oct. 20th. Please fill out, sign and return the permission forms that were in your child's folder so that they can come with us on the field trip.

Apples

This week we learned all about apples. We learned how and where they grow. We learned about different kinds of apples. Some students weighed and measured apples. We even go to taste 3 different kinds of apples and graph our favorites!
Thanks to all of the parents who sent in the delicious apples for us to taste!

Numbers

This we learned all about numbers. We read a book called Boom Chicka Rock. The story was about mice who were numbers on a clock. We measured, played counting games, and made mice and a clock.

Next week we are beginning our unit on apples. Please remember to send an apple to school with your child!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

This week we learned lots of letters! We read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and learned the song. We made letter collages, stamped letters, cut letters out of play dough and made Chicka Chicka Boom Boom trees. We played a coconut counting game and got lots of practice writing our names.
