October Activties

October Activities

October has been so busy!  We are working on a Farm unit as we prepare for our field trip to the farm at the end of the month.  In addition, we are studying about Halloween as well as beginning our AMSTI unit on Trees, and squeezing in Red Ribbon Week activities.  Combining all of these has been an amazing feat for the 4 K teachers.

Red Ribbon Week 

And of course we combined our farm art with our Red Ribbon door decoration!

Shape Tractors and Scarecrows

Halloween

Frankenstein was fun to make 

(and I see we need to repair one!)

The children shared silly things that frightened them!!

They really loved making these Frankensteins!!  We painted a small paper plate green, added a fun hair piece, eyes, nose, ears, and drew a zig-zag mouth.

October isn't over yet, and we have more things on the wall and more fun things to make!  Learning is so much fun!

Tens Frame

A great interactive way to work with the tens frame developing kindergarten

and first grade math skills is at the illuminations website.  http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivityDetail.aspx?ID=75

What a busy beginning of the school year this has been!  We started school mid-August and had to deal with days off because of Hurricane Isaac.  That just meant we had another first day of school with our precious kkids! 

With our k’s focus more on numeracy, I’m adding an anchor chart “All about the number ?” and have a corresponding page for the children to complete for their math journal.  Enjoy this freebie.

this link will take you to a pdf file – I still can’t figure out how to put a thumbnail of a pdf file on my blogger site…I’m working on it though J.
