Week of October 20th

I absolutely LOVE when I hear of children carrying what they've learned in my classroom into the 'real world'. This student went to a pumpkin patch and found a blue pumpkin! This was an interesting find for him, since had just read in an informational text that there are actually BLUE pumpkin. This student's thought when he saw the pumpkin at the patch was, "I want to bring it to school". This was so meaningful to our class, and the kids were intrigued to see a real blue pumpkin just like the photo from our book on pumpkins!

The children practiced a sight word sort. There were various fonts for children to work with. All of these words are on our Word Wall, and this is a fun way to practice using them.

I hope that your kindergarten kiddo sang you this cute song :)  The children decorated a pumpkin and cut up the words, mixed them out, and then put them back into sentence order. This was a great literacy, work work activity.

Hard at work!

The children enjoyed some pumpkin computer games during Explore!

In FUNdations the children worked with letter tile boards. The magnetic letters are so much fun to manipulate. We worked on putting the letters into ABC order.

Fire Safety was AWESOME!!!

The October Calendar keeps surprising us with an evolving pattern...

We explored and discovered the several patterns that occurred this month. Next we  recorded the patterns to hang on our wall.
