11/4 Classroom Update

Thank you to all of the parents who volunteered and helped out with our Halloween parties this week! Our morning class had so much fun making jack-o-lanterns with real pumpkins and eating "pumpkin" oranges and chocolate cones! Our afternoon class made amazing jack-o-lantern masks and loved their spooky chocolate cupcakes. I loved seeing everyone in their costumes! If you have any great pictures from the party, feel free to email them to me so that I can share them with others via our blog!

I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out for parent teacher conferences. I really enjoyed meeting with all of you, sharing about your child's growth, and learning even more about your child. We will have conferences again in the spring (usually in March). In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. 

This week, we learned about the letter R and talked about royalty. We discussed kings, queens, princes, princesses, and knights, as well as learned about castles. We read about princes and princesses, built castles out of blocks and foam shapes, played in our classroom castle, made crowns, practiced writing the R, made rabbits for our letter books, and played a crown game. We also are working on learning how to sing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" in Spanish!

Next week, we will be learning about the letter N and working with numbers. We will learn to count in Spanish, count the results of our mock "presidential" election (Will it be Duck or Farmer Brown?!), learn new math games, and much more!
