The Fall Leaves are Changing!!

The Leaves are Falling Down, The Leaves are Falling Down, Red, Yellow, Green and Brown, The Leaves are Falling Down!”

We welcomed Fall to our class with a focus on the change of the season!! We were busy bodies this week but managed to capture a few things that we did each day! Check out a little bit about what we did this past week.

We were really lucky to have one of our awesome classmates gather Fall leaves for our class and got to look through the different leaves in our Kids Kitchen. We explored the leaves, noticed their color and shapes and talked about why they weren’t green.

We made a Fall leaf collage for art, exploring more Fall leaves and using our fine motor control to squeeze the glue all on our own.

We love to look through storybooks and are exploring the idea that the print in the book carries meaning. We are beginning to discover that words are read from left to right too!

We have been talking a lot about the uppercase alphabet lately and attempted to put our letters in order from A to Z with these cool linking crabs! This was a great game that worked our letter recognition and fine motor skills!

We decorated our door with fall colored sparkly leaves!! We decorated sticky contact paper and enjoyed decorating our classroom as much as we enjoyed the stickiness of the contact paper.

We have been practicing our self-control a lot in our class!! Here, we used our dot art dotters to create an uppercase letter B!! We chose blue or brown, a color beginning with “B” and also worked our hand-eye coordination, while practicing with our letter of the week! Twisting on and off the caps of the dotters is also something we  worked hard on!!

B is for bumble bee!! Thank you to one of our wonderful father’s for this idea!! We made a bumble bee out of the uppercase letter B!!

Look how wonderful we are sitting for Circle Time!! Our self-control is improving more and more each day and this week we were top-notch!!

“The Leaves are Falling Down…” we love this song and danced while singing it each day to remind us what happens to the trees during the Fall season.

“b” is for beans!!! We had tons of fun adding beans to a lowercase letter b!! Some of us used a variety of colors, some decorated in one color and others decorated by the hand-full!!

We have been in to 8-10 piece puzzles lately!! Although they are difficult, we have been challenging ourselves and I couldn’t be more thrilled with what my munchkins can do when they put their minds to it!!

I hope you enjoyed the snapshot of our week. I will be a much more thorough photographer this coming week for “Squirrels and Acorns Week!”
