Week of 10/15

Hello Koala Bear Families!
 
We had another great week in the Koala Bear Room! We have been continuing to learn all about Fall and having so much fun focusing on Pumpkins and Leaves this week.
 
Classroom Activities: 

• The students chose a number between 1-10 and had to count out that number of buttons and then glue onto their paper pumpkin 
• We cut up four pieces of a leaf, numbered 1-4, and had the students assemble the leaf in the correct order (as if it were a leaf puzzle)!
• We made jack o lantern faces using orange paint, glue, googly eyes, and different shapes for the nose, mouth, and teeth!
• We tore up red, green and yellow paper to create our paper plate apples! The students chose which color apple they wanted to make, which seemed to be based on which type of apple they liked to eat them most!
