All activities are modified to ensure that all of our children learn accordingly to their
developmental stage and age-appropriate levels.
Groups rotate three times each day so all children receive teaching and learning time with all
three teachers.
Monday:
Handwriting without Tears: No Handwriting this week.
Ms. Cheryl’s Group: “There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie”
Table Activity: The children will play a fall game by matching striped, dotted, and solid leafs to
the correct pattern leaf.
Theme Book: We will read the whole book.
Emergent Reading: We will talk about what we see in the book. What did the old lady eat?
How many things did she eat? What happened to her at the end of the book?
Activity: We will be making puffy paint by using equal parts of flour, salt, and water. We will
add orange food coloring and pumpkin pie spice to create a scent-sory experience. Those who
can cut will cut a triangle shape out of brown paper. For those who are still learning, a triangle
will be precut for them. They will then paint the triangle with the orange puffy paint. We will
let this dry and finish our pumpkin pies on Tuesday.
Plan and Do: Each child will tell the teacher where they plan to play either on the playground
or in the classroom.
