Thanksgiving Feast

Today we had our Thanksgiving Feast/Program. It was adorable!!!!! We dined on beef jerkey, raisins, cornbread muffins, apples, apple juice, popcorn, and pumpkin pie!  We had a great time. I am so proud of my class. They learned two songs lickity split. We also learned about Native Americans and Pilgrams. Each child has a Native American name they picked. Ms. Dortch and I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful class/parents. We hope each of you has a safe holiday spent with people that you love!!!

I hope this is it, the Book Character Video

Book Character Parade

The book character parade was a HUGE success!!!!!!! We looked soooo cute in our THING costumes!! Thanks parents for all your help.  Our kids were so proud to walk down the hall in their THING shirts and blue hair.  Although we did see many Copy "Cats", our class was the BEST dressed Cats in the Hat with our THINGS.

Field Trip and Stuff

FUN FUN FUN. The field trip to Motley's Pumpkin Patch was so much fun!! I had the best time! My favorite part was watching all the kids get on the bus and see their cute little faces light up when the bus actually started moving.  They were soooooooooo excited about riding the bus.  I can honestly say that was the best field trip I have been on due to the parents who attended and who helped. YAH!!! Not to mention, the weather was GREAT!!!!!! The kids loved the pig races, the hay ride, the cow train, and the hay playground.  All the kids were able to pick a pie pumpkin to take home.  I was even able to get a pumpkin for our classroom. We will carve it on Thursday!! We will decide what type of face our pumpkin should have. Happy, sad, lonely, excited?
This Tu/Th  I will have times for parents to come attend parent/teacher conferences. Sign up for a conference.
This week our focus letter is Ii. We will discuss Halloween traditions.

The Past

The past few weeks have been filled with learning. Letters, numbers, shapes, rules....... We have made our soaring snacks of stone soup, tasted apples, and even had Donuts with Dad.  We were lucky enough to have lots and lots of grandparents to visit us on Grandparent's Day in early October.  They had a great time making the animal magnets with their grandchildren.  I have already seen the kids make progress in their social skills, they are able to verbally express themselves if they feel like their friends are bothering them. 
Our next big adventure in the monkey class is our first field trip to Motley's Pumpkin Patch!!!!!!!! The kids are soooooooooooooo excited.  Many will have their first ride a school bus. I am lucky enough to have many moms going  to help with this trip.  Mrs. Dortch knows how crazy I get on field trips, I just don't want to lose a kid.  :)   I have not been to Motley's before so this will be a "first" for all of us.
I will post pictures after the trip.  :)  Hopefully.
