• December 2023 December was a fun and busy month! We learned about letters E, H, and R! During letter "H" week, we made hot cocoa! We also went "ice skating" in the classroom. The kids loved every second of it! For letter "R" week, we made reindeer food to sprinkle on Christmas Eve! We had a Christmas program in December and the children did awesome on the big stage! We ended the month making gingerbread houses, going on a hunt for the gingerbread man, and even had a visit from Mrs. Claus!
• November 2023 This month, we did a lot of science experiments! We did a kinetic energy experiment with balloon and a nature sink or float experiment for letter "N" week! The kids favorite this month was playing playing Ele-Fun for letter "E" week! In our dramatic play area, we had a pumpkin patch that included a giant blow up pumpkin! The kids LOVED it and would always tell stories of when they went to the pumpkin patch with family! We ended this month with our morning and afternoon classes coming together to celebrate Thanksgiving!
• October 2023 This month, we continued learning our new routine. We learned all about letters "I" and "P." During letter "P" week, we did a lot of fun things! We made pancakes and popcorn, carved a pumpkin, and even came to school in our pajamas! The kids really enjoyed playing in the pumpkin guts and with the popcorn kernels. This month, we started a fun experiment. We put a pumpkin in an air tight container and we are going to observe it as it decomposes over time to record the changes. We also had a lot of fun and got a lot of candy at our Fall party! We even sang some songs to our visitor, the Good Witch!
• September 2023 This month we kicked off the 2023-2024 school year by learning all about our new friends during "All About Me" week! We did a lot of fun Science experiments, including, making applesauce (then playing with it at the sensory bin) and making our own planets! The children really enjoyed painting and naming their own planet! Another big hit this month was watercolor painting and playing with play-dough! We are looking forward to more Fall fun in October!
