What a beautiful Fall Day!

We decorated the classroom for Hallowe'en today!The children wrote their own names on Pumpkins for the door! They made black cats for a home decoration! I read them a story called Little Boo. I want to quote the author from his inside cover: " To all the Little Boos who want to be big - be patient, keep trying, and one day you will be more than you can imagine." Nice, I thought!

At Math time the children rolled dice and counted the dots. SK's coloured specific colours for specific numbers. JK's were told to colour any part of their monster once they rolled that number.

We played musical pumpkins at Gym time and learned a new Hallowe'en song (new to me, too!). One of the Centres today was playdough with Hallowe'en cookie cutters. Some of the children chose to work on their Fall Wicker decoration that has been ongoing this week.

SK Leader-of-the-day prints the short form for the month word on the board!

Roll, count and read colour words for SK!

Have a wonderful weekend!

CURRENT UNIT OF INQUIRY: More Than A Feeling!

Central Idea: We can express our feelings/emotions in many different ways.

Today the children were introduced to a program called Kelso's Choices. It is an excellent program about dealing with big and small problems. There is lots of info on the internet and I wish I had learned about it years ago! We watched some scenarios on the web and how Kelso helped the children solve their small problems.
