Rhythm Sticks and PomPoms

In Room 5 we have been practicing using rhythm sticks at circle time. We are practicing tapping the floor and stacking the sticks. We have also been practicing our fine motor skills by using red pinchers to pick up pompoms and put them in the caterpillar.

Bubbles and Outdoor Play

In Room 5, we like to play with HUGE bubbles that Mr. Yorlin has made for us! We have been playing in the sand and going down the slide!

PUMPKIN DAY TWO

What a fun days we had, thanks for being good troopers and bringing your kids in pajamas.

Binging the Patio Inside for Apple Pumpkin Days!

Room 1A & 1B had a fantastic time rolling, catching, and playing with foam pumpkins. They also explored Autumn felt play with apples, pumpkins, and leaves rebuilding Autumn poems and storytelling. Using their tactile senses, they peeled, squeezed, rubbed, and applied apple gels onto picture cards. What fun!

Gourd bingo was a hit and there was a slew of winners! We all win on Apple Pumpkin Days!

Apple Pumpkin Day #2

And the fun continues. Today was Orange Day and day number two in our Apple Pumpkin Days. The children finished their Fall frames. They met Fred the pumpkin who helped us with our science. He sure made a mess though. We continued our lesson of chemical reaction by making elephant tooth paste inside Fred which was a reaction between yeast and Hydrogen Peroxide and yeast and dishsoap. Today we also had a special guest reader which was Ava’s mommy. The children were looking forward to listening to her read. She read Bad Apple. The children have loved being able to see parents during class. Thank you again to all our wonderful families who helped.

APPLE PUMPKIN DAY TWO

Hello again, here we are Apple Pumpkin day two. We started the morning by exploring the inside of a pumpkin and learning their individual name.

Stem, flesh, seeds, pulp are main words the children were able to identify from our pumpkin.

With the “Pumpkin Vine Song ,” the class learned the words and sequence of the song by using our flannel props.

Oh, Yes, as they washed, counted and sorted apples the children also discovered that there was a real apple in the activity, real vs not real.

Today was busy, we decorated foam pumpkins with sequences to send home, and colored real pumpkins with oil pastel sticks.

Okay, okay it sounds like a lot but we could not go outside, bad pollution. We had a special morning snack, pumpkin delight, Yummy!!

Pumpkin Candy Corn Experiment

Happy Apple Pumpkin Day 2! Our littles in Room 2 conducted an experiment to find out which liquid would dissolve a pumpkin candy-corn the fastest. Check out our little scientists identifying the liquids, smelling the vinegar, tasting the “pumpkin” sample and making predictions.

Introducing Our New Library Space

We wanted to take a moment to thank our wonderful director, Ms. Kohar for the library makeover! It is a blessing having a classroom where dreams and ideas can become a reality. Our library now has a couch, rug and even a beanbag! The best part? We are not done with remodeling just yet! Some of our kiddos enjoy starting their day in a quiet space so they come to the library to read! Plus, reading is fun!

Apple Pumpkin Day #1

Wow what a wonderful start to Apple Pumpkin Days! Today our classroom was full of red from our red tablecloths and plates to our red clothes. We decorated our fall frames and made special apple snack. We even learned what a chemical reaction was with a fun apple volcano science experiment. But our special visit by Kaira’s mommy via zoom reading us a story was the most exciting part of our day. Thank you to our wonderful parents for all your help.

Apple Eruption!

🚨 ALERT 🚨

We experienced eruptions in class today! The art table had to be evacuated! We had active apple volcanoes using vinegar, baking soda and glitter. Can’t forget the glitter! There’s nothing more exciting than witnessing some safe chemical reactions!
