This week we began our fall unit and here is a look at our activities!

Centers

Reading- For one group the children began the Bob reading series and met the new characters Mat and Sam.  We are learning to use our reading finger when tracking the letters and words.  Also, we continued our Zoo Phonics for letter and sound recognition.

Math- We counted apples using one to one correspondence and used acorns to begin simple addition.  

Fine motor- The children made fall leafs using red, yellow, brown and orange tissue paper to resemble a stained glass collage.  

Journals- The prompt was, ‘What do you see in the fall?’ The children discussed jumping in the leaves and going on a leaf hunt based off of our book we read at morning meeting. 

Art- The kiddos painted with a variety of materials to create their fall trees.  

The independent activities this week included a build a scarecrow dice game and fall play dough mats.
