Fall Tree (Friday)

Better late than never!  I have been having trouble posting on here and uploading pictures.   It looks like everything is coming back again!  This is what I wrote on Friday that didn't post!


Today, we made our fall tree.  The kids colored in a trunk.  Then, they finger-stamped the different colors of leaves for their tree.  Unfortunately, my camera stopped working, but I was able to get one picture!

All the other pictures came out black! I was so disappointed!  
We read The Richard Scarry Big Book of ABCs.  There were so many pictures to look at!  We sat for a long time looking at all the different things that started with F!

F is for Food

Today we read "Fox's Adventure in Alphabet Town".  I love our local library and their alphabet book selections.  The kids recognized The Alphabet Town Series, from reading the A one.  They knew to look for things that start with the letter F.  This is the part of teaching that just makes me so ecstatic!  


I wanted to work on their gluing skills so today we made a collage using pictures from magazines (pre-cut by me).  They used regular glue sticks and I taught them to put it on in  circular motion. They had a blast!!!!

Afterwards, we practiced cutting with scissors on some old magazines.

I went along and took pictures of the kids in center.  Every time I tried to take a picture of Luke, he would see me and automatically lay down on the little baby doll blanket.  I'm thinking it's time I make him one! haha!

Talia likes going in the quiet area and play with the electronic ABC game.

We had another great day!

F is for Fall

Fall is finally here! What a great week to start learning about the Letter F.  

Today we read "My 'f' Book".  Then we collected things from around the house to fill our Letter F box.  
Our project for the day was to glue on feathers.  They had a lot of fun doing so!

Here are their finished artwork!  P.S.  Luke would not let me take his picture making a project, but instead, he wanted me to take a picture of him laying down on a baby doll blanket, and so I did! :)

Then, the kids picked play-dough for their free art activity.  They really love play-dough! I don't blame them, we all relax and have a great time, even I do!

 Kara made an F

Talia likes to break the play dough into tiny pieces

 Luke loves to feel the play-dough!

He learned how to make circles today!

We had a great time!  They were all so exhausted, they all napped extra long! 

Except my daughter, of course! :)

See you tomorrow!
