Week 1: Fall, Thanksgiving, and Animals


This week we talked a little bit about animals, animal sounds, and read an animal book.  We made animal puppets on both days.  One was a tiger, and the other one was a frog.  I like to do our painting craft at the beginning of the month.  For our learning centers, the kids the imaginative play with play dough.  We repeated the build-a-pumpkin learning center, and then I introduced an ice cream play dough center.  I explained the rules about no eating the play dough, sharing, being careful to not drop play dough on the floor, and asking for help when they needed it.  They did marvelously with this group learning center, pretending to play with ice cream.

Next week we're going to explore nature and the fall leaves.
