October 15, 2018 4:31 pm   Reviewing Letter:  A, B, C, D Introducing letter: E Number: 1-5 Shape: Diamond Color: Yellow Theme: Autumn – Leaves are falling Autumn is calling     Hello parents!  Welcome Back and Happy Monday.   Our theme this week is all about autumn. Our art projects this week will include making a fall wreath with different colors of leaves. Before we start making our wreath, we will go outside and run in the leaves, toss them in the air and admire all of the different colors. We will then collect a few leaves, count them, name the colors, and create leaf patterns. This week, during circle time, we will introduce the letter E and review the letter A, B, C, D. We will begin with naming things that begin with the letter E, listing things that are diamond-shaped, and brainstorming objects that are the color yellow. We will also review all of our shapes, numbers 1-10, the calendar, colors and letters. We will also begin learning the ABC Phonics song. This will help the children recognize the letters and the objects that correspond.  Fine motor and listening skills will be strengthened through our art projects by: peeling and sticking, gluing, coloring and painting.  We will work on sharing with our friends by taking turns.  We will continue to encourage independence in our classroom by feeding ourselves, throwing away our trash and putting away our toys.   Reminder: For those who haven’t done so please bring in a family photo for our wall in class. October 31st- School Halloween Parade at 10:45 am. Please wait outside so you can get some great pictures as we come by! Class Halloween Party will be in the morning on October 31 before the parade. I will put out a sign up sheet for the party, should you choose to bring in something.   Our school website has all the  information about upcoming events and our school calendar. https://tcla4kids.com/ Please parents dress your child accordingly to the weather.   Literature for the week: Fall Harvest Bringing Food; Martha Rustard Five Little Pumpkins; James Dean When The Leaf Blew In; Steve Metzger The Fall Festival; Mercer Mayer Apple Farmer Annie; Monica Wellington The Biggest Leaf Pile; Steve Metzger   Regards, Miss Jenn
