Week of September 19-23

Ryder and Britney after reading "Caps for Sale"

Last week we focused on the letter C.  We created play-doh Cs, rainbow wrote letter C, and wrote Cs in our journals, on white boards, and with goldfish and raisins.  We talked about shoes and laced up pretend tennis shoes, we played a game of memory with sock pictures.  The kids learned to sign the words shoe and touch.

We also talked about why people wear different hats (police, construction, royalty, baseball, etc).  We created a "match the hat" game, and read "Caps for Sale" then balanced "hats" on our head.  We also talked about shirts and the kids created their own shirt with buttons.  The children played an apple counting game and read great fall stories.  We talked about the importance of wearing protective gear while riding bikes & scooters.  They then made "brains" in a helmet and experimented with hitting the helmet and then checking the brains to see if they were safe.

We sang songs in chapel and the kids danced and jumped around.
