The highlight of the week was the Sukkah Hop to Ari’s house! What fun we had, riding a real school bus, eating yummy cupcakes and shaking the Lulav and Etrog in the sukkah. We had a discussion about the adorable bulletin board Miss Liz created and talked about what we could add to it…the class decided on a scarecrow! We talked about what a scarecrow’s job is and where you would see a scarecrow. They went to their seats to draw pictures of what they thought a scarecrow should look like. We then took the ideas and started the discussion of how we’re going to actually create a classroom scarecrow, what materials we need and the process of making it. The ideas were so creative; it’s amazing to hear what these children come up with!


Skills we are working on:
Color sight words-I sent these home, please cut them and make the cards to go over with your child. Let them label objects in the house with sticky’s with the words for reinforcement. You can even use crayons to write the words in that color!!
1. Beginning Sounds-listen for them in everything
2. Rhyming-make-up rhymes even if they’re made-up words
3. Punctuation marks- we started with comma (you pause to take a breath) and period (you stop to start a new thought)
Items volunteered for the scarecrow project:
1) Sofia- old shirt from dad
2) Madison-old pants/jeans from dad
3) Sam-old hat
4) Koby-old belt
5) Ari-old tie
6) Ariel-old shoes from dad
We need a couple of bales of hay if anyone could get them, one for display and one for filling the scarecrow.
