Week of October 10th

Hi there!!
This week is a short week so we will not be covering a letter of the week.  We will resume with letter "D" next week. 
For this week, we will have fun covering the theme of Halloween!
On Wednesday, we will read a book about pumpkins and make our own Jack O Lanterns.  We will sing lots of songs all about pumpkins.  We will focus on the shape of the pumpkin (circle) and also we will count pumpkins through our songs.
On Friday, we will continue with our Halloween theme.  We will complete a pumpkin seed counting booklet.  Students will count pumpkin seeds and glue them on the appropriate pages.  We will taste the seeds too!! 
Finally, throughout this week, I will be working individually with students on name tracing pages.  I made some great templates for them to start to practice writing their names.  If you would like copies of these templates for extra practice at home, just let me know and I will be glad to send some home.  The more they practice, the better they will get at writing and spelling their names!
Thanks!
