This month we read many different apple and pumpkin books such as; “Up,up, up It’s Apple Picking Time” by Judy Flickes Shapiro, “The Biggest Apple Ever,” “The Biggest Pumpkin Surprise Ever!” by Steven Kroll, “The Apples on the Tree,” by Steve Metzger, “Plumpy, Dumply Pumpkin,” by Mary Serfozo, “Too Many Pumpkins,” by Linda White, “The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid Of Anything,” by Linda Williams and “ The Pumpkin Patch Parable,” by Liz Curtis Higgs. Some of these books are too long for some of our kiddos so we paraphrase them as we see fit. During circle time we picked special books to read and others were read through out the day.
Our pumpkin patch on the loft was decorated with all the pumpkins you all brought to class, it looks adorable.🥰 Today we all indulge in some popcorn and a movie and a gummy worm.
Preschool isn’t all about letters and numbers, worship is also an essential part of our curriculum! We worshipped with one of our Room 1 favorites, “Oh Hallelujah“ by Jana Alayra. We are able to incorporate music and movement while focusing on our spiritual growth. After worship, we had a moment of prayer, where our prayer helper lead us in a wonderful prayer!
Fun art activity of the day! Since it’s Apple and Pumpkin Days, we created some apple trees! But these apple trees aren’t just any ordinary apple trees. The apples have letters on them! Each tree contains a friend’s name. They did an amazing job at spelling out their names and knowing the sounds to each letter! And of course, we also practiced our usual skills like writing their names, following instructions and gluing!
In Room 5, we have been singing the song “5 little monkeys jumping on the bed”. But to make sure our littles stay safe we are showing them how to jump on the carpet! 😉
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.
