We just started our "Mystery Reader" Fridays this month! Our first mystery reader was Lori Olson. The children really enjoyed the suspense and excitement behind the Mystery Reader concept. Below you will find a picture of Mrs. Olson reading a story to the class :).
When Cooper soon discovers that the "Mystery Reader" is his mommy :).
When learning about the letter "F", we talked about the season of fall and the things we observe happening to the trees at this time of the year. Below is a picture of some students working on their fall trees with their findings from outside.
The candy corn match-up involves pairing upper and lowercase letters to form a complete candy corn. The class has really enjoyed this center game!
As the peak of pumpkin patch season is upon us, we are starting a new unit in science about weight, using a pumpkin as our weight control. To kick off the new unit, we created our own pumpkins with torn pieces of construction paper and green rice (for the stem!).
Barnaby is extremely busy traveling all over the world! He has visited Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala. He has taught us all about the different cultures, languages, and unique characteristics of each country and region. Through Barnaby, the boys and girls are not only learning about maps and developing map skills, but they are also gaining an awareness for the world that is outside of their "own world".
