Week of 10/2

Dear Rainbow Families,
 
We had an exciting week in the Rainbow Room!  Below is an update on what your children learned this week at Montclare. Our theme this week was Fall.
 
Books we read:

• Apple Farmer Annie, by Monica Wellington
• Curious George Apple Harvest , by H.A. Rey

 
Places we went:

• We finger painted with black and white paint in the Art Studio
• We learned baby beluga with Noel in music
• We read Sheep in a Shop, by Nancy Shaw

Classroom Activities:

• Last week with did an apple taste test.  This week we looked further into the apple by cutting it open and seeing what was inside.  We cut it the horizontal way as well at the vertical way to see how it looked different.  We got to touch it and take out the seeds.  We then took the apples and made apple stamps using red, orange and yellow paint.
• We also talked about fall and what happens to leaves outside.  We talked about how they change colors and come in different shapes and sizes.  Then we made trees, by gluing leave on our tree trunks.

 
Songs:
We learned all our circle time songs:  Hello Song, Calendar Song, Weather Song and the Goodbye song.

Theme next week:
All About Me
 
DATES

Have a great weekend!
