Here is what we did today...
Community Circle: Sang the 5 Little Pumpkins and also acted out Way Up High In The Apple Tree with all the preschool classrooms.
Spots Plus: We played the game Duck, Duck, Goose! But we put an apple twist on it. We called it Apple, Apple, Apple sauce! The children had a lot of fun playing this game. When we went outside, we invited the other preschool classrooms to join us.
Drama: We went and watched the dress rehearsal of the 3 Little Piggy Opera. Our Learn To Play buddies were the cast members. The children had a wonderful time. There were lots of laughs and smiles while we watched the play.
Art & Literature Faire Update: Today we looked at the pictures in the book, Why The Sky Is Far Away. We talked about the animals that we saw in the book and where we might see them around here (IE. Monkeys, tropical birds, etc.). We also looked at a map of Africa and found Nigeria, where this folktale took place.
Morning Meeting: At our morning circle, we talked about what a compliment is. Each child has had 2 turns being the star of the day. Now when your child is the Star Of The Day, they will be bringing home a list of compliments from their classmates/friends.
Reminders: Just a quick reminder, that we will be closed on Monday for Columbus Day!
