Miss Kathleen's 3s

Wednesday, November 14

We started off our day by going over to the Sanctuary to practice for the Thanksgiving program with our friends in the 3s and 4s classes. We were really good singers!

When we came back to the room, we had our centers but they were kind of silly! We only had two groups instead of three. One group played at our rug center with the action figures, colored wooden blocks, and puppets while the other group played at the tables with teddy bears, pegs, and the garden tub. While we were working at centers, Miss Kathleen and Miss Paula called us over to one of the the tables to stamp our costumes for the Thanksgiving program. We are going to look SO good!

When we finished our centers we helped make our salty snack for the day. We had to listen very carefully to hear the popcorn start popping so Miss Kathleen could get the bag ready. Then we had to listen carefully again for the popping to stop so we could turn off the popper. We also talked about how the kernels of corn got so hot that they popped!

Here's our ears of corn that we made last week!

We had our ears wide open!

Enjoying our salty snack!

We are good cooks!

We started our day out on the playground where we had a great time running around and having fun!

When we came in, we started our centers. We had lots of fun at our rug center with our colored wooden blocks and our Barbie/Ken/Action Figures crate. At Miss Kathleen's center we read a Clifford magazine about turkeys and used the teacher cutting machine to make leaves from Friday's magic crayon designs. At Miss Paula's center we learned to play Masie's Matching Game and made some Fantacolor bead pictures. It was a fun morning!

We had a lot of fun during our Morning Work time. Some of us worked puzzles at the table; many of us drew pictures; and a few of us compared dance moves!

We had a lot of fun playing when we went out on the playground, but we did have a little more resting than usual today!

We had a wonderful time during music with Miss Jenna and then we went right to our centers. It was our last day to play with the cars at our rug center. Next week we'll have something new. At Miss Paula's center we practiced tracing/writing our names and stringing letter beads. At Miss Kathleen's center we strengthened our hand muscles by sharpening crayons, then used a warm iron to magically melt them into beautiful designs.

We had a wonderful time today celebrating Halloween. Thanks to everyone who helped!

Comparing superheroes

Discussing princesses

Practicing one last time before trick-or-treating at Summer Breeze

We all lined up and walked over to Summer Breeze with the other 3s and 4s classes.

We used good manners saying trick or treat, please, and thank you to our friends, then we sang our Halloween songs for them.

We walked back to our school and stopped to take a class picture at the wind chime. We each chose one piece of candy to eat before putting our Halloween treats away and playing with the parachute, taking turns bouncing spiders and skeletons all around!

Finally it was time for our party! We had some delicious food--and lots of fun treats!

At Miss Kathleen's center we carved some of our class pumpkins. Most of us didn't want to help scoop out the inside of the pumpkins: It was kind of gooey and stinky! After we finished, we matched skull parts!
