Dear Parents,
We had a great week learning all about Giants made by People! We read about skyscrapers, bridges, jets, ocean liners and roller coaster. In centers, we turned our cave into a house, and then into a skyscraper. We made a roller coaster on our magnetic stem station and built bridges to test their sturdiness using pennies.
We also read stories about Halloween and a pumpkin's life cycle. We had some fine motor practice by hammering golf tees into a pumpkin! Today we made a dirt cup pumpkin patch for Fun Friday cooking. In math, we have been measuring capacity, or how much a container can hold.
Next week we will continue with measurement terms (long/short, tall/short, heavy/light, more/less) as we compare objects. We will be tying up our unit in literacy by learning about Make Believe Giants.
Remember that Tuesday October 31 is the PreK/Kindergarten Character Parade at 7:45AM. Please have your child wear a costume to school that morning and put a change of clothes in their backpack.
November 7 is Election Day. There is no school that day, but your child will receive a learning packet with some activities to complete.
Upcoming November Dates:
November 7: Election Day (Remote Learning Day for Students)
November 20 - 24: Thanksgiving Break
Have a fantastic weekend!
