Our Fall Farms unit is under way! We have learned about the letters A and H, the numbers 1 and 2, squares, and the color red. Over the next couple of weeks we will have fun with scarecrows, vegetables, and Fall leaves and extend our farm into a farmer's market. We'll also have fun with the story "The Little Red Hen". We'll learn about the letters S and L, the numbers 3 and 4, and the colors yellow and orange. We'll begin our numbers bag which is a fun activity with a home extension that you'll hear more about soon. Coming up we also have lots of songs to sing, books to read, art to make, games to play, and time to explore and be with friends. I love working with your children, I love teaching preschool, and I'm excited for the weeks to come! There is a Fall break in October so there will be no preschool October 16th or 18th. Have a great day! |
