This week we focused on a book called The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything.
On Monday we made our own version of the book, which required us to do sequencing to get the story in the correct order. Has your child "read" their book to you yet?
We worked our fine motor skills on Tuesday when we cut the corners off our papers to make heads for our scarecrows. We then used crayons and/or markers to draw a jack-o-lantern face.
Wednesday we patterned stripes on the scarecrows pants. Did you know that sequencing and patterning are considered math skills? So if you son/daughter says "we never do any math at school" you can point out how these skills are math.
Thursday we assembled our scarecrows and they are now protecting our classroom from crows.
Next week is our costume party! Be sure your child can get in/out of his/her costume to go to the bathroom by him/herself. Please practice over the weekend if need be so we don't have any accidents during our fun party :) Also, please remember no masks/make-up or weapons/gore. Thanks!!!
Now is a great time to check your child's backpack to be sure the extra clothes in it are suitable for fall weather!!!
