October-End of the month fun in Pre-K!

Dear Pre-K Parents, Family and Friends,

This month was full of fun fall adventures! The pictures on our new slide show are from the following activities:

• The Pre-K class helped clean out my pumpkin. They then did a math activity where they counted all of their pumpkin seeds and glued them into a book.
• Family Pumpkin Carving Night here at SJOA...This was a great turn-out and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves!
• We made heart shaped bird feeders using wheat bread, egg whites and bird seed. After they dried, we hung them outside our classroom windows on two of the trees. We think that the squirrels enjoyed them more then the birds did so we have decided to make them again in the winter when there is a lot of snow.
• The 2nd grade students were kind enough to come and share their stories with our class. Each child had a buddy and it was a great experience--We hope to continue reading with our 2nd grade buddies throughout the school year!
• We had a grand time at our Halloween class party! The pretzels were warm and fresh!Thank you to all who contributed to the yummy treats for all of us to enjoy, we had more than enough, that's for sure! We also had a shaving cream word + number review and the children absolutely loved this. Thankfully, we were able to borrow the smocks from the art room so that our costumes didn't get dirty. All of the costumes were great and I loved the variety and creativity put into them.
• Lastly, there are a few pictures of free play time in our classroom. The boys have enjoyed building big, tall buildings and castles with our building blocks.

THANK YOU for visiting our blog and please come back soon to hear about all of the exciting things coming up in the month of November.

Many Thanks,

Mrs. Stephanie Dinwiddie
