Color Your World

I guess you can tell that my team is not playing this weekend because I am updating on a Saturday night :) . I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! I am loving this weather!! I wanted to make sure and remind you about our Pumpkin and PJ Party on Monday at 11:00am. Absolutely NO Costumes!!!!! If a child is brought to school in a costume, the child will be asked to leave and can only return if dressed in appropriate attire. Please make sure to wear tennis shoes! NO house shoes, crocks, sandals or any other open toed or backless shoe. These requirements are rules from the office. I have been instructed to send any child home that does not meet the dress code.

Since we have addressed our the expectations of the week, let's move on to all the fun stuff we did last week!!! On Monday we dotted our names with the dot markers. This is a great activity for name recognition and to help your child learn the correct way to form the letters in his/her name.

Also on Monday we had a very special snack time. We ate our favorite color snack. Thank you to everyone who brought a favorite color snack!

We had a very busy Monday! After our color snack we went back to our classroom and made color wheels. And your children got to use their markers. This is a big deal!! We do not get to use our markers often. So this was a special treat!

This was a "Listen and Do" activity. I began a large color wheel on the board. Then the children had to listen and color their color wheel. I was so very proud!!!

Last but not least we created a rainbow out of Fruit Loops. This activity teaches the order of colors in the rainbow and helps small motor skills. Each child had to use 2 finger to pick up their Fruit Loops and put on the glue on the rainbow. Again, I am so very proud of all the accomplishments of your children!!!

On Tuesday, we Watercolored! I think was one of the most fun activities we have done this year!!! Your children loved to watercolor and we will do this more often!

On Wednesday, we made Roy G. Biv's. This is an acronym for the colors of the rainbow. This was a "Listen and Do" activity. This activity was a little more challenging for the class. I think it might have been the amount of steps, and it was also the end of class. Nonetheless, this is still a very cute activity!

Not only did we finish our color unit, but we also learned all about the letter Hh! This week we gave a lot of HUGS!!!  This letter was a much easier letter for each child to write. I am so very excited to see progress in each child. Please continue to practice at home. That is the only way to master this skill!


A very fun activity I like to do this time of the year is a spider hand print. I told you I love hand prints and this is one of my fav's!!

If our week was not packed.....we added Pumpkin Patch to the list. Below are pictures of our fun little pumpkin patch and your sweet little children's faces.

I look forward to seeing you on Monday! Have a wonderful Sunday!!
