Mystery Readers

We were so excited to not only have one but two Mystery Readers join us today!  Connor's Mom and Dad came to read us 3 fun stories that made us laugh and got us thinking and using our imaginations.  They read Should I Share My Ice Cream, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, and The Big Hungry Bear.  It was even more special to have them visit since today was also Connor's Birthday!  Happy 5th Birthday to Connor!

Star Student Caleb

Our Star Student from last week was our friend Caleb!  Caleb is a fun, playful, hardworking friend who loves to laugh and enjoys all of his friends.  We loved learning more about Caleb through his poster, pictures, show-n-tell toys and book.

 We love having our Family Turkey Feathers hanging in our classroom!  It's fun to see all the things each of our families are thankful for.

Thanksgiving Celebration

What a fun, busy day in 4K celebrating our friendships and all the things we are thankful for.  Enjoy the slideshow below of our incredible day.

Special Thanksgiving Song and Thankful Poem

 Today was such a special day celebrating things we are most thankful for!  Below are two videos of our class... first singing a special turkey song called Gobble Gobble Went the Turkey and then reciting our Thankful Poem that we say everyday as a class at snack time - it seemed like a perfect time of year to share it with all of you. :)

Monday Mystery Reader

 We were thrilled to have Charlotte's Dad join our class on Monday as Mystery Reader!  He brought three sweet and funny stories that made us all laugh and gave us many connections.  He read us If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, How to Babysit a Grandma, and The Good Egg.  We love Mystery Readers and especially beginning our week with one. :)

Mystery Reader

We started our week off with a Mystery Reader!  Dash's Mom joined us this afternoon to read us two very perfect stories for school and 4K:  Mind Your Manners and Best Behavior.  We love Mystery Readers and it started our entire week off on the right foot. :)

November Centers

 There has been a lot of excitement in our classroom during Center Time this month!  From a Pumpkin Patch in Dramatic Play to a Sensory Table filled with corn, mini pumpkins and special tweezers to build finger strength, we have been engaged and continuing to practice our social emotional and language skills with peers in a super fun way.

50th Day of School

 

We are officially 50 days smarter!  We celebrated our 50th day of school with 50s style, music, root beer floats and fun projects.  Our class was blown away to see some differences between 1950s and today (the telephone was one of the biggest differences we noticed!).  Click below to see pictures from our 50th day.

We were so lucky to have a Mystery Reader on our 50th day of school!  Sebastian's Nana joined us to read two very fun stories... The Ugly Pumpkin and Pete the Cat Train Trip.  We love listening to stories read by special people we know. :)

Mystery Reader

 

We began our week in the best way possible... with a Mystery Reader!  Alex's Mom joined us today and read us a great silly story called, The Watermelon Seed.  We made many connections with the crocodile since so many of us like watermelons too... and we'll be extra careful not to swallow any seeds now!  

It was a happy way to start a Monday. :)

Wacky Wednesday.....

 Yellow Day!

Mystery Reader

 

Today we welcomed Hailey's Dad as Mystery Reader!  He read us two awesome stories... Carla's Sandwich and The Giving Tree.  Both stories got us thinking about kindness and giving.  It was a fun way to end our Wednesday. :)

First Mystery Reader

 

Our class was so thrilled to welcome our first Mystery Reader today!  Jacob's Mom read us 3 fun and silly stories that were a perfect fit in 4K: Dragon's Love Tacos 2, Nibbles the Book Monster and There's a Bear on my Chair.  It was a perfect way to end our Monday. :)

Fall Bash

 We ended October with a bash... a Fall Bash!  Our exciting bash had 4 stations to rotate through:

1. Pumpkin Bowling

2. Popcorn Hands

3. Halloween Pattern Necklaces

4. Mask Decorating

It sure made for a fun ending to our week.  Thank you to the helpers who volunteered their time to help us have fun and create some fun projects!

Star Student

 

Last week we got to learn more about our sweet friend, Alex L!  Alex was our Star Student for the week.  Alex is kind, thoughtful, incredibly polite and always shows Parkview Pride.  We learned he loves dinosaurs and so much more from his show-n-tell items, pictures and poster.
