Happy October!

I've lost track of weeks...and I have been bad about posting...so here is October so far in a nut shell. We started off the month learning about pets (we did our fish bowls, doggy ear headbands, etc.) but then I wanted to jump right into pumpkins to get them ready for the pumpkin patch and Halloween. So this is what we have learned so far this month:
Letters: X, P, C
Shape: Triangle
Colors: red, blue, orange, brown
Number: 4
We have also been working on cutting...a lot. They had to cut out their pumpkins and ghosts, and the little orange pieces of paper to go on their pumpkin masks! They are doing a great job.
Here's a look at what we did this week during fall break...pumpkins, ghosts and spiders! SCARY!

Cutting and gluing their pumpkin masks

One last thing...in case you missed my tip for the "letter A". I taught the kids what a clock looks like and where all the numbers are, emphasizing the number 2 because that's where they should start for most letters (a, c, d, etc.) and for the letter "c' they learned they start at 2 and stop at 5. So if you wouldn't mind drawing a clock (or showing them a real one would be great too) and reemphasizing this..that would be a great help. A lot of friends want to start and end their letters at "6 o' clock"...hopefully this all makes sense. As always...let me know if you have any questions!! Have a great week. We will still review the "Letter C" next week since we had so many friends gone this week, and will go back and forth between Halloween things and "pet theme". Have a great week!!!
