We are having the most delightful Autumn weather! I was walking through downtown today and I could smell the leaves in the air.

The children are talking about their Halloween costumes, we'll have quite the variety. We have been reading a few Halloween stories in the classroom. We also have some Jack-o-lantern counting work 1-10, Bat counting 1-10, and building Mr Bones our skeleton.

Last week our classroom helpers were assigned their first jobs in the classroom. Mila and Zoe are the classroom librarians, Kathleen and Heidi are in charge of watering the plants, and Clara and Leighton are the pencil sharpeners for this week.

Ms Elena helped the children with their cutting skills to create beautiful pictures of Fall trees with leaves made of paint using a wine cork. They enjoyed doing this and showing their creativity.

Our first week of sharing was wonderful! All the children brought items they enjoyed sharing with their friends. This week our sound is "a" as in hat, mat, bat, can, man, bag, mask, fan, map, apple, pan, jam, etc. Thank you for helping your child to bring their sharing to school.

We'll have a presentation of "The Liturgical Colors" this week in our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. This work includes tracing packet for the children also cutting and pasting collage of the chasubles.

We have more zoology~ the parts of the "Bat"!

Botany~ The Life cycle of a Pumpkin!

Thank you to Tatum for our food prep and serving of Celery and Cream Cheese.

Have a wonderful week,
Ms Karen
