Happy Monday! We will have a short week of school this week as the teachers are headed to a Lutheran Educators Association conference in Milwaukee.
Last week we completed our Car Project. This week, we will investigate pumpkins and do various pumpkin/ Fall themed activities!
This morning we each voted how we should carve our pumpkin. We tracked the votes by writing our names under our choice on a graph.
We then counted to see which pumpkin has more votes! We used comparative words such as less, more, and equal.
Then, we cut open the pumpkin! We talked about how the gooey stuff inside is called pulp.
We then played a rhyming game together. Rhyming is a valuable pre-reading skill!
During small group time, we worked to sort leaves by various properties. Sorting is a foundational math skill!
Then we were able to play the rhyming game!
Of course we helped scoop out the pulp and seeds! We sorted the seeds and pulp too!
We then worked together to match the illustrations of a poem to the words. This is helping the friends to learn concepts of print and sequencing!
We played "Pass the Pumpkin" today too! In this plastic 'pumpkin' were various letters and numbers. The friends reached in, pulled out a 'seed,' and read which letter or number they pulled. This helps with letter and number recognition!
During Jesus time we read the Pumpkin Patch Parable. We learned that just like our pumpkin shines brightly, we can shine God's love to others. We discussed ways we can shine God's love too! Ask your child at home if he/she remembers a few ways that we can shine God's love to everyone!
