I spy with my little eye, all things meant for fall! One center we visited this week was an I spy picture filled with mini things of all seasons. The kids would choosse a card from the table and try to find that item in their picture.
MMM, the apples are so crisp, sweet, and yummy this time of year! Our apples didn't taste good, but they looked good! We had an apple math center where we placed as many apples on the tree as it said on the basket below the tree, and then picked them and put them in the basket.
And, we had an apple alphabet center where we matched uppercase letters to their lowercase counterpart.
We used our fine motor skills to string fall colored Apple Jacks cereal onto our string necklaces. (BTW, did you know that they even have red apples clones in the mix now?) Perfect to show fall colors such as green, red, and orange.
We worked a lot on patterns this week. We did AB patterns, AABB patterns, and the kids made up a few of their own as well. The pattern mats below gave us clues to help us finish the pattern, and then we used our fall patterned stampers to create our own patterns.
The stamps were fall colors and included fall items such as brooms, rakes, leaves, and trees.
We made some more leaf rubbings with tin foil and sponges. You have to press pretty hard to get the impression to show so we used our muscles!
We have learned letters A-I up to this point. We had each letter mat out and the kids practiced putting them in alphabetical order.
We also had our dry erase uppercase and lowercase letters out for the latest 3 letters, G,H, and I.
And, we are getting ready for Halloween! We decorated our bulletin board to get in the spirit.
Book of the week: Mouse's First Fall by Lauren Thompson
Song of the week: Leaves poem
and
Oh, I See Leaves
(tune of Pop goes the Weasel)
Now that it is cooler outside
The trees are full of color
When I go for a fall walk
Oh, I see green leaves.
(Repeat with other fall colors red, orange, yellow, brown)
