Week of 10/22

Hello Koala Bear Families! 
 
We had another amazing week in the Koala Bear Room! This week we learned about Halloween, and even got to examine a big, round Pumpkin and some mini pumpkins.
 
Classroom Activities: 

• We used three different colored and textured rectangular pieces of cloth - some with velcro, snaps, and buttons - to connect and create our own unique AB and ABC patterns.
• By feeling, smelling and looking, we examined a pumpkin, and learned about what it means to form a hypothesis.  The students each made educated guesses as to what could be inside of a pumpkin before we cut it open.
• Worked on our phonics with a rhyming activity 
• Created a giant spiderweb using our tables, chairs, masking tape, and ripped up strips of paper. It was very exciting!
