Second Week of Pumpkins and Fall

This week we continued to learn about pumpkins and how leaves change colors in the fall. We learned about the letter Bb, worked more on our teen numbers, and talked more about the parts of a shape (sides, vertices, etc.).
 
We practiced our letter recognition and beginning sound skills by putting together letter puzzles.

We also did a letter collage where the children looked at each picture, determined if it started with the letter Bb, circled the picture if it did and crossed it out if it didn't. Then, they cut the letter Bb pictures and glued them to their letter Bb page.

We also did a letter Bb practice book where the children practiced skills like differentiating between uppercase and lowercase Bbs, writing the letter Bb, reading words that start with a Bb, and drawing pictures of things that start with a Bb.

To practice our teen numbers, the children got a set of teen number flashcards and stickers. They then decided what number was on the front of the card and added that many stickers to the back. If they couldn't recognize the number, we encouraged them to look at the 1 on the front, put 10 stickers on the back, then look at the second part of the number on the front and add that many more stickers to the back. For example, if the number on the card was 17, they would put 10 and 7 more stickers on the back.

We also did a 4-day long art project. We watercolor painted a fall tree...

Punched fall colored holes, glued them on...

Then added buttons!

Finally, we introduced story elements and started talking about the parts of a story!
 
Have a great weekend!
