Fall is here, the leaves are changing colors, and the children absolutely love the nature. Room 3 went on a long walk and gathered all kinds of leaves and branches in their own separate bags. The children learned about bark, and how it is the outermost layer of stems and roots of woody plants. Each child had the opportunity to peel off and keep a piece of bark from a huge tree. The children learned the term “chlorophyll,” which is the green pigment found in the leaves. We have read a few books to help the children understand why leaves change color in the fall; and we are so proud of the connections the class has been making with the different trees and leaves they have learned about. A huge thank you to Myra and Golareh for reading two wonderful books to the children at the library this week; we were very excited to have them. The class had their first experience at “tricycle express”. This was a great way for the children to be active and practice their large motor skills. Room 3 made a visit to the Snoezelen room where they were exposed to a multi-sensory environment. The area was filled with lights, color wheels, glow sticks, projectors, and other sensory products. The children had a very soothing and enjoyable experience. After introducing lower case letters to the class, each child has been working on their own name for practice. From creating patterns to their writing skills, the children have been demonstrating progress and dedication. We are very proud of their hard work and we are excited to continue our lesson on lower case letters. As we introduce our new project that we will begin with Room 1, we have been discussing all about the different parts that make up a community. For example, the children know that in order to buy food we must go to a market, in order to send a package- we use the post office; and if we are sick, we can go to the doctor’s office. These discussions enable the children to make the different connections needed in order to understand what a community is all about. We are ready to embark on this journey of working together to establish, form, and build a community created by all of your children. Have a great long weekend and Shabbat Shalom!
