• We also practiced making Mat Man. We are getting very good and are started to add in some extra details. 
• The children had a fun cooking segment during "In the Kitchen with Miss Tracey" making Apple Pillows!

Dear Panda Room Parents,


 
We had a great week in the Panda Room learning all about Fall.

Books we read:

• Fifi Ferret's Flute, by Samantha Berger
• 10 Apples Up On Top, by Dr. Seuss
• When Autumn Comes, by Robert Maass
• How Do You Know It's Fall?, by Allan Fowler

 
Places we went:

• Art came to the Panda Room which was fun because we have never done that before
• We performed in a drum circle during movement
• Every brought back their library books this week- Miss Lindsay was very impressed!

 
Classroom Activities:

• Had our Letter of the Week “F”
• During centers we read 10 Apples Up On Top. After we each balanced "apples" (bean bags) on our heads to see how many we could balance. Lastly, we graphed the amount of apples on another piece of paper. We are learning about different graphs in math.
• We are also working on our patterns. We are moved from AB to ABC.
• Shapes are very important so we made scarecrows using a lot of different shapes. 
• During classroom art we made fall trees using q-tips. This is also helpful to build our fine motor skills. 

 
Theme this week:

• We talked about Fall
• Next week we will continue to discuss Fall, Apples, Leaves and Trees

 
Reminders:

• 10/12 Farmers Market
• 11/9 - Leaf Hunt-- EVERY CHILD NEEDS AN ADULT

Have a great weekend!
