Story: The story for today was Giggle, Giggle, Quack by Doreen Cronin. This is a story that is part of the Read It Again program. In this story, Farmer Brown is going on vacation and has asked his brother Bob to watch the animals. Farmer Brown warns him to watch Duck. Duck has a pencil and changes the farmers instructions to meet the wants of the other animals. The animals are served pizza for dinner, are given bubble baths, and are allowed to watch movies. What will Farmer Brown say? I'm not sure the children got the idea of the duck rewriting the notes. We'll read it again tomorrow and see what concepts they pick up.
Large Group: The morning class played "Are You Sleeping, Mr. Bear?" The afternoon class played a circle game of following directions. They both were fun!

Animals in Winter
Group Meeting: This week, we are going to learn about animals getting ready for winter. We will be learning the words adaptation, migration, and hibernation. Today, we watched a video about adaptation. We learned about animals that prepare for the winter by changing their coats and storing food for winter.
Small Groups: The activities for this week are listed below as well as the schedule for today.
Activity #1 (Red Group) The children played a game called "Oh No!". They passed around a box that had letter cards inside along with a few cards marked with the words "Oh No!". If they picked a letter, they identified it and kept it in their lap. If they picked "Oh No!", they had to return all of the cards to the box. At the end, the child with the most cards was the winner.
Activity #2 (Yellow Group) The children were given a "do a dot" squirrel. The numerals 1-20 were printed on the dots. The teacher would pick a card and call that number. The children used bingo daubers to stamp that number on the squirrel.
Activity #3 (Green Group) The children used a balance scale to weigh a few school supplies. On one side of the scale, a school supply was put in the cup. On the other side of the scale, the children placed plastic bears in the cup to make the scale balance. They counted the bears and recorded it on their paper.
Story: The story for today was Time to Sleep by Denise Fleming. In this story, Bear notices that it is getting colder. She realizes it is time to crawl in her cave to sleep. But before she does, she must tell snail. Snail notices that there is frost on the grass. It must be time to sleep, but first she must tell Skunk. The story progresses with each animal telling another that it is time to hibernate. Ask your child to tell you which animal is at the end of the story.
Large Group: The children went outside to the Outdoor Classroom. We don't do that often in November!
Letter Learning: We have started learning about the letters again. This time we will use alphabetical order. Therefore, today was Aa. We are using dry erase boards on which to print the letters.
Snacks: The morning snack person was Tula. She brought blueberry bagels, cream cheese, and juice. The afternoon snack person was Shelby. She brought bananas and milk. Thank you, Tula and Shelby!

Group Meeting: The children helped me make a list of things that we learned at the Food Pantry. We will use this list at small group time.
Small Groups: Because of the shortened week, we will be doing one activity instead of three small groups. The children drew pictures in their journals of things that we saw at the Food Pantry. We used the list from Group Meeting to help us remember.
Story: Our story for today was Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey. On the day before Thanksgiving, a group of children are on a field trip to a turkey farm. The children love playing with the turkeys until someone notices an ax by the barn door. When they find out what it is for, they become very upset. What will happen to the turkeys? Ask your child to tell you how this story ends.
Large Group: The children made a turkey using shapes. The body and head are circles. The feet and beak are triangles. The feathers are rectangles.
Letter Learning: We are taking a small break from Letter Learning, but will get back to it next week.
Snacks: The snack helper for the morning class was Rifa. She brought crackers, grapes, and juice. The afternoon helper was Miriam. She brought crackers and juice. Thank you, Rifa and Miriam!

Field Trip to the Food Pantry
I want to thank everyone who provided transportation for our field trip today. I also want to thank all of the parents and children for their donations of food. I will be sending home an information sheet about the food pantry with the December calendar. Starting in December, we will be collecting a food item every month for the food pantry. Watch your newsletter for more information.

Group Meeting: Our movement activity for the beginning of school was the Turkey Dance Freeze. We danced like turkeys until the music stopped. Ask your child to show you some of his/her turkey moves.
Small Groups: Because this week is a little off schedule with conferences and a field trip, we are not doing small groups this week. Today, we watched a short video about the life of Pilgrim children. A Let's Find Out magazine was completed following. We compared a Pilgrim child's life to our own today.
Story: To help us prepare for our field trip, I read A Feast for 10 by Cathryn Fallwell. This is a counting book showing a family as they are shopping at the grocery story. The items are counted into the cart, bagged, loaded into the car, and taken home to be cooked.
Large Group: Following our story, we talked about our favorite meals. We drew pictures of the foods that we like to eat. Then, I asked the children to wonder what it would be like if they didn't have any food to eat for dinner. We want to help those who are less fortunate than us. Tomorrow, we will bring food items to take to the food pantry to share.
Snacks: The snack person for the morning class was Lauren. She brought strawberries, corn/rice puffs, and juice. The afternoon snack person was Lyndsey. She brought crackers, cheese, ham, pepperoni and juice. Thank you, Lauren and Lyndsey!

Group Meeting: Today was Birthday Day. We will be making banana muffins for our snack during small group time.
Small Group: The children followed a recipe for making banana muffins. They had to peel and mash the bananas, crack an egg, stir in the flour, sugar, salt, powder and soda, and put the batter into muffin cups. We baked them during play time and enjoyed them at snack time. Several children asked if I could print the recipe so that they could make them at home. I will do so next week!
Story: Our story for today was a repeat of yesterday. The Way I Feel is a good book to read and discuss. For example, after reading the page about being angry, someone said, "that's bad to be angry". So, we discussed that being angry is a normal feeling that we have. It's not bad to be angry, but we should not use our anger to do things that are not nice.
Snacks: The children enjoyed the banana muffins, juice, and birthday brownies. We celebrated two birthdays in each class.
Monday is conference day for the afternoon class. There will be morning preschool, but not afternoon. If you have not signed up for a conference, you can still do so.

Group Meeting: The children are going to be decorating a tree for the Festival of Trees. Today, I read the story The Mitten Tree by Candace Christiansen (no relation:). This is a story of an elderly lady who notices that some of the children who are waiting for the school bus do not have warm mittens. She decides to knit mittens for the children and hang them on a tree near the bus stop for them to find. We are going to use this story as a theme for our tree. The children will be decorating wooden mittens during small group time to hang on the tree.
Small Groups: The activities for this week are listed below as well as the schedule for today.
Activity #1 (Red Group) The children will use duplos to solve simple math problems. Following picture cards, they counted a number of colored blocks, but them together to make a tower, and counted them.
Activity #2 (Yellow Group) The children used paint, rickrack, jewels, and glitter to decorate wooden mittens for the Festival of Trees tree.
Activity #3 (Green Group) The children sorted dinosaurs into various categories such as color, type of dinosaur, horns/no horns, long neck/short neck, etc.
Story: I read the story Corduroy by Don Freeman. This is the story of a bear who lives in a department store. Lisa would like to buy him, but he's missing a button on his shoulder strap. At night, Corduroy wanders through the store looking for the button. Ask your child to tell you if he finds his button.
Large Group: Following the story of Corduroy, we had a discussion on friendship. The children are going to be learning a new way to get a friends attention. We practiced tapping a friend on their shoulder and saying their name. Please take a few minutes to look at the note that was sent home in backpacks today about this program.
