Week of November 9th

Last week we introduced our new theme: Fall. The students were able to participate in experiences that made them more aware of the changes that take place in the fall. They began learning about fall holidays , clothing , and accessories. Students learned about the life cycle of an apple tree and were able to compare it to the life cycle of a pumpkin. We were able to go outside and collect different types of leaves to create a "leaf man". Students will also be using the leaves throughout the season in our art center to create their own masterpieces.

What we learned:

Language Arts: Students learned to identify the sound/letter "Tt" in words.

Social Studies: Students were able to participate in our Veteran's Day celebration and learned to value and celebrate the work and sacrifice of our veterans.

Math: Students learned to recognize, reproduce, and extend ABC patterns.

Science: Students learned to recognize changes in our environment due to changes in the season.

50th Day of School!

On Tuesday, November 3rd we celebrated our 50th day of school. It's hard to believe we have been in school for 50 days! In honor of this special day the staff and students were given the opportunity to dress in the style of the 1950's. It was fun to everyone dressed in their "nifty fifties" attire.

Week November 2nd

Good news! My class won the poster contest "I won't do drugs"!
Our theme was "I won't do drugs because I have big dreams!" All students draw pictures of what they want to be, and we make up some pictures of those professions with their faces. It turned to be a very cute poster.

Buena nueva! Mi clase gano la competencia de pancartas "Yo no consumiré drogas". Nuestro tema fue: "Yo no consumiré drogas porque tengo grandes sueños". Todos los niños dibujaron lo que quieren ser cuando crezcan, y nosotros colocamos fotografías de esas profesiones con sus caritas. Terminó siendo un proyecto muy bonito.
