I Had a Hammer

Did you know that Fall is here?  Even though the weather has been very warm it is time for fall.  We have noticed the leaves changing, the pumpkins are here and Halloween is coming very soon.  Today we looked at many different kinds of leaves at the viewing table.  They are so pretty right now.  We also played on the obstacle course with the balance beam and tunnel, we did a leaf counting activity and we used the table top easels. 

Our story today was called "Fall is Here-Counting 1-10".  It was a book filled with Fall things to count like one pumpkin, two leaves.  We like counting books.  On Thursday we read the story "The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything".  It was all about an old lady who went for a walk and met some scary things on her way. She met two shoes that said, "Clomp, clomp."  She met a pair of pants that said, "Wiggle, wiggle."  What else did she meet?

Our songs were "5 Little Pumpkins", "Grey Squirrel", "I'm an Acorn", "Leaves Are Falling" and "It is Fall and It's Time to Rake the Leaves".  After we sang our songs it was time to wash our hands and get ready for snack.  Today we had cheese sticks and graham crackers.  Thank you, Maddie.  We also want to thank Aidan's mom who came to help today.  Thank you.  On Thursday we had a snack of grapes and graham crackers.  Thank you, Braden.  Also, Braden's mom came to help us today.  Thank you.

We got to use hammers at the art table today.  What?  We put some leaves and a rose under some paper and then we pounded and pounded.  Some of the colors came off onto our paper.  That was pretty neat.  Pound, pound, pound.
