Colors of Fall...

We have had another fun week learning all about our colors! We finger painted, made handprint spiders, used scissors to make pumpkins, and we decorated cupcakes with different colored frosting! Check out our pictures below to see some of our fun activities from this week!

Next week we will be learning all about our shapes! We will make a collage of shape pictures, make shape hats, and practice identifying and sorting our shapes. Click here to play a shape game! We will also be talking about pumpkins! We will carve a pumpkin and paint with pumpkin stamps. We will finish our week out with our Pumpkin Party! We will make a jack-o-lantern, do face painting, decorate pumpkin cookies, and go on a treat hunt! We are asking that all our parents donate a bag of individually wrapped candy for our treat hunt. Please do not send any hard candy or gum. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

FYI:

• Please do not send to your child to school in Halloween costumes.
