Week of 10/29

Dear Sun Room Families,

Hope you all had loads of fun on Halloween!

We have really gotten into the swing of things, traveling around School and exploring the spaces of our Specialists. With a lot of practice we are getting into the rhythm with putting our finger on the wall when we walk in the hallways!
Halloween was so much fun and the children looked adorable in their costumes.

We had a fantastic time Trick or Treating around Montclare and saying “Trick or Treat” when we received goodies. Take a peak below to see what the Sun Room children learned this week.
   
Books we read:

• It’s Pumpkin Day, Mouse!, by Laura Numeroff 
• Pete the Cat Five Little Pumpkins, by Amy and Richard Hutchings
• Llama Liama Trick or Treat, by Anna Dewdney
• Where is Baby’s Pumpkin?, by Karen Katz

 
 
 Song we sang:
 
Mr. Pumpkin
Tune to “ Where is Thumbkin “
Mr. Pumpkin
Mr. Pumpkin
Round and fat
Round and fat
Harvest time is coming
Harvest time is coming
Yum, yum, yum
That is that!
 
Places we went:

• Played in Gym 3 with our friends in the Sky Room and Rainbow Room. We had a lot of fun running around and sharing toys.
•  We explored with finger paints in Art Studio. 

 
Classroom Activities:

• Had so much fun Trick- or –Treating!
• Created paper plate Jack-O’Lanterns using orange paint. Once they dried the children glued on eyes,nose and a mouth. They had a lot of fun squeezing glue from the glue bottles!
• Circle Time- The children are becoming enthusiastic participants in Circle Time and are developing a great sense of pride when their name is sung during our Hello Song. We have gotten in the routine by putting up our picture to the Prompt of “Where or where is my friend ____________ Where oh where is my friend ________ There she/he is! The children love being able to pick what apple their pictures goes on. 
• We are learning to line up and stand in line like big kids. Thanks to our 8 magical colorful circles that you will only find in the Sun Room. These magical circles help us stay in place quietly and safely as we get ready to walk in the hall.
