This post will be covering the past two weeks of school. Enjoy!
Once Upon A Time...:
We have been learning about Fairy Tales these past two weeks. We started with a KWL web to show what we already knew.
Next we learned about the parts of a Fairy Tale. The children learned about characters, setting, problem solving and the moral of a story.
The children learned how to make connections by thinking about how they are like baby bear from "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and how they would feel if they were in the same situation.
We learned about Fractured Fairy Tales and compared/contrasted the story "Cinderella" with the story "Cinder Prince".
Some Fairy Tale centres that we had were:
French:
In French this month we have been learning how to count from 1 to 10. We have been counting everything.
This link will lead you to a video that teaches the numbers 1-10: French numbers.
Halloween:
On Friday it was Halloween. We dressed up and did a costume parade around the centre. Then we played games, turned children into mummies, made a jack-o-lantern, decorated cupcakes like jack-o-lanterns and sang songs. It was a fun day!
Writing:
This past week I introduced the children to an ABC chart. This gives them an idea of what letters say and it will help them in the beginning stages of writing. I am trying to teach them to sound out words and try to spell on their own. Any effort to spell is celebrated. Here are some of the words that they made.

Don't Forget:
It is starting to get colder outside so please send mittens and warm jackets with your child.
Send a healthy snack with your child. A list has been sent home or you can visit 100 Days of Real Food for some awesome ideas.
Each child needs to have indoor shoes, a backpack and appropriate clothing for the weather.
Feel free to contact me anytime with any questions or concerns. I can be reached at the school, by email or just drop in (I am usually around before school).
