This months letters are "C,D,L,A"
It is Safety Month.
Which means we will be learning about stranger safety, traffic safety, bike/scooter safety and last but not least fire safety. We will be visiting the new Springville Fire Station for our field trip, date and time TBA!
It is also officially AUTUMN! We love learning about the seasons and what changes occur during each season. Watch for leaf rubs, tree paintings, and wax leaf books.
Our class is currently learning how to "fill the bucket." We "fill the bucket" when we say or do something nice for someone else. When the bucket is full of "warm fuzzies" we will have a special class party! We are learning two songs to help us remember how to treat others, "The Golden Rule," and "Building Others Up."
October is also a fun month because we learn many new fun Halloween songs and silly activities to celebrate Halloween.
Spotlight: JACOB His new favorite color is blue. He is our star performer! He sang a solo for our class of "I've Been Working on the Railroad." He sange every word on tune! (I still can't do that :).)
We are still working on patterns and trying to learn more difficult patterns and understand why and what a pattern is. Legos and blocks are great pattern building tools.

September 2009
We started learning the letters "T" "H" "M" & "N." We will learn the capital and lowercase letters with their sounds.
Math: We are still working on sorting. We sort blocks by color,size, or shape. I also briefly introduced them to classifying and making a simple graph. This week we will be discussing and playing games with direction words, i.e. top, middle, bottom.
Science: Our mini units this month focus on insects and trees. We went on a bug hunt and graphed what we found!
We will also be talking about and pretending to be community helpers! We will be learning about all the services and jobs people on our community do to help us. Our Field Trip to the Post Office is scheduled for September 28th.
These children have imaginations!! This week we discovered that they each have a button in their shoulders that turn them into active participants or help them sit "criss-cross, applesauce!" (Yes, Erin that would be started by Bryson, from Robots!)
