Week of 10/22

Dear Rainbow Room Parents,
 
We had another exciting week in the Rainbow Room!  Below is an update on what we learned this week at Montclare.  Our Theme this week was Halloween.
 
Books we read:

• Corduroy's Best Halloween Ever, by Don Freeman
• Where Is My Pumpkin?, by Karen Katz
• Say Boo, by Lynda Graham-Barber
• The Littlest Mummy, by Brandi Dougherty

 


Songs we sang:
"5 Little Pumpkins"
5 Little Pumpkins Sitting on a gate
The 1st one said “Oh my its getting late”
The second one said, “There are witches in the air”
The 3rd one said, “but we don’t care.”
The 4th ones said, “Lets run and run and run”
The 5th ones said, “I’m read for some fun”
woooo went the wind and out went the lights
And the 5 little pumpkins rolled out of sight
 
"I'm A Little Pumpkin”
I’m a little pumpkin
Orange and round
Here is my stem
And here is the ground
When I get all cut up 
don’t you shout
Just open me up 
And scoop me out
 
“Stirring The Brew"
Stirring and Stirring and stirring The brew
Wooo oooo, woooo oooo
Stirring and Stirring and stirring The brew
Wooo oooo, woooo oooo
Stirring and Stirring and stirring The brew
Wooo oooo, woooo oooo
Tip Toe, Tip Toe, Tip Toe
BOO!!!!
 
Places we went:

• Julia and Janae visit us in the Rainbow Room, we played with chalk and painted.
• We read 10 Little Apples in Library.
• We played in the roof.

 

Classroom Activities:

• We cut open a pumpkin and got to see what was inside.  Children who wanted to got to put their hands inside and feel the seeds and the pumpkin insides.  We then made "Paper Plate Pumpkins.” The children painted their plates orange and got to clue on the pumpkin pieces.
• After reading the book, The Littlest Mummy, we make our own mummies. The children glued their faces on and then got to put white strips of paper on as well.

 
Theme next week:
Halloween and Shapes
 
Reminders:

• Parent Teacher Conferences November 12th and 13th
• Please do not forget to label your children’s coats and place them in the blue bags upon arrival.
• Halloween will be celebrated on Wednesday, October 31st.  Parents are welcome to come in in the beginning of class to take photos for a bit.

 

Have a great weekend,
