What are We Learning

Literacy

We will continue with name recognition and tracing. We will meet Ellie the Elephant, Francie the Fish, Gordo the Gorilla, and Honey the Horse with Zoo Phonics. We will read the Very Lonely Firefly and Good Night Gorilla.

Math

The children will count pumpkins, match fish to the correct number card, and count spiders as they stack them. We will also be making patterns with Halloween candy and counting Halloween objects.

Physical

For fine motor, the children will trace the letter E, paint with feathers, and practice with scissors. For gross motor, we will do an elephant stomp and see our shadows when we do flashlight dancing. We will also do the Spooky Pokey.

Science

The children will play with frogs in the “frog pond.” We will also have spider webs and spiders on the light table and ghost slime for Halloween.

Social/Emotional

We will graph one of our weekly questions: “Do you have a pet fish?”
