Week 12: November 28- December 2


Welcome Back! 
We hope you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving Break!  When students returned this week, they noticed some changes in our classroom as we prepare for the Christmas season. They enjoyed decorating our Christmas tree, making a new placemat and calendar for the month of December, and working on some Christmas projects.

Counting presents



50 days of Pre-K!
We celebrated the 50th day of school this week.
We counted to 50 and worked on recognizing the number 50.
We helped each other count by 5's to put together a 50's picture!


 We used our fine motor skills to hole punch 50 "lights" on our Christmas trees.
 

 We also practiced writing the number 50. 

Thanks for a fun week at WIPP!

Week 11: November 14-18


This week we focused on Thanksgiving, letter Tt, and talked about the word "harvest."
We created a harvest pumpkin salt painting. The first step was to trace the pumpkin picture with glue. After we covered all the lines, we added salt to make the lines stand out.
We got to work with Thanksgiving shaped pattern blocks.
We worked together on the rug as we explored some new barn and farm toys.
The next step of our harvest pumpkin craft was to add color to our salt paintings.  

Look at these beautiful Harvest Pumpkins!

We practiced our pencil grip and our writing skills as we worked on our "Pumpkin Counting" books. We also showed off our literacy skills by reading these books!
On the rug, we were thankful for a new harvest of corn. We enjoyed collecting the kernels as we picked them off the ears of corn.

PUMPKIN PIE DAY!!!
Wednesday was pumpkin pie day. We spent our day in the Fellowship Hall with the other Pre-K classes.  
We played with pumpkin play-dough.

 

We cut out food for our Thanksgiving plates.
  
  
We made our own Thanksgiving sticker books.

 
We made real pumpkin pies!


 
 


Finally, we got to enjoy our pumpkin pies!


 
We also had great teamwork this week as we built tall Lego towers.
We practiced our counting skills with corn.
 
  We made scarecrows out of different shapes.
 We reviewed our letter Tt words for the week.

On Friday, we celebrated with our Thanksgiving program. We hope you enjoyed the show!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
