Hello Families! What a fun week we had in The Dragonfly class topped off by the fun filled field trip to the pumpkin patch! The kids seemed like they had a grand time. We continued our lesson on feelings during Second Steps and learned that focusing attention on situations can also help us tell how someone else is feeling- The Dragonflies could name the feelings surprised and scared when presented with physical and situational clues. Our letter of the week was U. We identified the letters of our first name to make pumpkin names, used fine motor skills to hammer golf tees into a pumpkin, sorted various Halloween manipulatives, experimented with a variety of fall items in the sensory table, painted pumpkins at the easel, and colored candy corns and sorted them according to their pattern. We read Click, Clack, Boo, Room on the Broom. In Music, we learned a song called "Five Perfect Pumpkins," kept rhythm with sticks, and played a pass the pumpkin game. It goes without saying that the pumpkin patch trip was a huge success despite the showers. Thank you all for coming out today!
