Halloween Party

Our Halloween party was lots of fun!!! We made crafts - a cute Halloween bucket, our snack bags for the Pinata and colored a pumpkin. We also sang a couple of Halloween songs and fingerplays and talked about pumpkins and jack o lanterns. The kids got pictures taken and it was time for lunch. Immediately after, we did the pinata - the favorite time for the kids. A big thank you to everyone for bringing candy and treats for our party. We loved the cute spider cupcakes - they were a huge hit...and when I asked who made them...Briella replied..."the bride made them." Thank you, bride ;) Next week is the letter Gg so bring things that start with Gg!!! Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Ff Week

This week we learned the letter Ff and things that start with Ff such as frog and football. Briella brought fairy wings and a fish, Addy brought a frog, Konner brought a flashlight and Max brought a fork and a feather. Good ideas!!! We also sang one of our favorite songs...Five Little Monkeys. Ask your child to do the finger play for you!! They all love it! We also colored our Fancy F. Fish for our folders and made one to take home. The kids sang the alphabet song and we made another craft for our Halloween party next week. The kids also sang happy birthday to Dorothy...it's been one year already!!! A big thank you to Mike (Briella's dad) for the awesome painting on a pumpkin he brought for us to enjoy. We just can't decide if it's a boy or a girl. Next week we will be celebrating Halloween on Wednesday. Anyone who wants to bring a bag of candy for our pinata please bring them by Monday. Also anyone who wants to bring a snack or drink for the party please let us know. Thank you!! Be sure to bring a set of clothes for your child to change into after our party (they can come dressed up). It's always a fun party!!! The following week we will be learning the letter Gg so bring the Gg things then!! Have a wonderful week! Looking forward to seeing all the fun costumes next week!

Ee Week

For circle time this week we learned the letter Ee for elephant and eggs. Konner brought an excavator, ET movie, earplugs and Horton Hears A Who (elephant). Max brought an eggplant and an E that he made. Briella brought an Eiffel tower necklace and Addy brought Elefun (which they had lots of fun playing) and Elmo. The kids each took turns picking plastic eggs from an egg carton to find a picture. We talked about the pictures and decided if it started with the letter Ee. We found that engine, egg, elephant, escalator, envelope and elf all started with the letter Ee. The kids also made Eggbert E. Egg puppet from an envelope to take home and of course, colored him for their folders. We sang "Do Your Ears Hang Low" and we also incorporated some Halloween songs- 5 Little Pumpkins, the Witch Song and Itsy Bitsy Spider (requested by Briella). We then made a pumpkin to take home as well. Next week we will be learning the letter Ff - for fish and we will be celebrating Dorothy's birthday next week as well. She has been here since this week last year! Her wish list will be on the door :)
Have a wonderful week! And don't forget those Ff things!

Dd Week

This week we learned the letter Dd and words that start with Dd such as dog, donut, dirt, dig and dust. We sang the song "Oh Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone" and our alphabet song. Konner brought a dinosaur, Karson brought a dumptruck and Addy brought a Dalmation dog. Good ideas!! The kids colored their weekly picture for their folders and got to make Doodle D. Dog puppet today. Very fun!! We also sang Happy Birthday to Dorothy the fish because she will be a year old in a coupleof weeks (Ff week). Next week we will learn the letter Ee so bring those things that start with Ee!! Have a great week!
