November is a crazy month!  Having so many holidays, our rhythm is a little off!  But even so, we have been busy!  Here is a peek at all we have been up to!

Exploring a Sunflower

We used our fine motor skills to pick and gather sunflower seeds in a  cup!

What Fun!

The Three Little Pigs

 

This is a story bracelet.  I love this idea!  Not only does it help us to remember the sequence of a story, but we practice our fine motor skills too!  This is how it works.  Each bead represents something in the story:

3 pink beads = the three pigs

yellow bead = house of straw

brown bead = house of sticks

red bead = house of bricks

black bead = the big bad wolf

blue bead = the pot of boiling water

You can practice this story at home with your children and help them remember the sequence of this wonderful fable/fairy tale!

We also enjoyed acting out the story!

And retelling it with our flannel board pieces....

We love The Three Little Pigs!!

I can't believe that we are now in the month of November!  With the cold weather quickly approaching, please remember that we go outside everyday (weather permitting!) so dress in layers!  If you could label all outer clothing that would be very helpful, the children do not always recognize their warm coats and accessories!

Here is a peek at our room in October!

 

Thank You Hooksett Firefighters!

The Hooksett Firefighters came to our classroom last week!  They gave a fabulous presentation to the children!  They told the children how important it was to never hide if there was a fire at their house and they spoke of the importance of smoke detectors.  We also talked about having a meeting place to go to in case of a fire.  We talked to the children about how at school we have fire drills and our meeting place is in the big playground at the number 2.  Remember, it is also important to have fire drills at home and to have a meeting place, whether it be the mailbox or a neighbors house.  Please take a moment, talk as a family and practice going to your meeting place!  

Here is a peek at our week!
