Music Class Updates:
Miss Elizabeth finished our "Creation Story" series with Noah & his family on Friday. The children really enjoyed learning the sequence of this Bible story with Miss Elizabeth's felt board and songs. Ask your child what God asked Noah to do.
The rest of our week was filled with lots of fun Fall projects in class. We had fun using yarn and dyed pasta to make beautiful necklaces for our Moms. Hopefully you had the opportunity to wear yours over the weekend.
The children did a great job with this project. Mrs. Beth and I kept saying we couldn't believe how long this held their attention. Beading kits (with larger sized wooden beads and holes) make great Christmas gifts for this age group.
We hope to introduce small scissors and cutting next month which also aides in their fine motor skill development.
In other art news, we "corn cob" painted with packing bubbles for some beautiful corn displays. We are decorating our room for our Thanksgiving Feast. Look for more information and invitations in your child's book bag.
Thank you for assisting with your children's leaf collecting. Our leaf collections are on display in our classroom and they are quite lovely. The children loved sharing what they found with the class. Our classroom tree is also losing its leaves this fall. We read a fun book, "Nuts to You" by Lois Ehlert. Her books are some of my favorites for this age and older and also make great additions to your home library. http://www.harpercollinschildrens.com/HarperChildrens/Kids/AuthorsAndIllustrators/ContributorDetail.aspx?CId=12055
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend with lots of potty success! See you on Wednesday!
