Our last two weeks we have focused on the Pilgrims and Native Americans.  The emphasis was about sharing like Squanto did, and how blessed we are to have so many people that care about us. 

 He's got the whole world in his hands.  Well at least a globe.  We're studying 3 dimensional shapes and he located a sphere in the room. 

 Everybody found a cube or sphere or cone in the room which Mrs. Angela had hidden.

 After we found our 3-D objects, we had to identify them and put them in the Mayflower for our supplies to America.

 Our Mayflower ships were designed by tracing our hands for the boat part. 

 We now know our initials. To reinforce that concept we outlined them with sunflower or pumpkin seeds, although some of us preferred eating them. 

 One of the first crops the pilgrims learned about was corn.  We saw an ear of corn, Indian corn and we discovered that many products are made from corn like cornbread, corn chips, and cereals.  

We watched as Mrs. Angela poured the popcorn into the popper. 

 We learned that the kernels are full of water and when the water gets hot, it starts to pop.  Just look at our faces.

 And now it's really heating up.

 WOW!!!!!!!

 But the most fun was eating it!!!!!!!!

 We each brought in a piece of fruit to share with our friends just like the Pilgrims and the Native Americans shared on the first Thanksgiving.  We gave thanks for our many blessings.

 Count how many points you get by knocking over the cans.  A new game purchased with Trike-a-thon money.  Thank-you parents.

 This game was called "Tired Turkey"  Children had to put all the pictures that started with a "T" on the turkey.



Our Halloween week activities were fun and full of action, just the way we like it.  This past week seasons and God's beautiful creation were our focus.  We sang songs, danced, and read books all about the special season of fall.

 Dont't peek!!!! Draw an orange or black spider out of the can and color it that color on your paper.  Then your partner does the same thing.  Which will be drawn the most???  Probability at preschool. 

 During Halloween week we discussed our bodies and how to take care of them.  Mrs. Angela gave a direction and these girls mastered elbow to elbow with their good listening ears.

 This game consisted of throwing beanbags into various sized containers.  The smaller the opening the more points you received.  A super mental math exercise, and of course everybody 's a winner.

 Mrs. Angela told a story without a book.  The only thing she used was a scissors. Look what the story ending made.

 Halloweeen cupcakes were sooooo very yummy!!!!!!

 Mrs. Crystal helps with painting over the leaves.  We then lifted the leaves off for a design.

 Leaves make great patterns.  Here we have an AB pattern and below is an

AAB pattern.

 Instead of the leaves falling from the trees, the students picked the capitals and lower case letters that matched.
