Happy Thanksgiving!

The kids had an exciting week filled with birthday fun and learning! Cooper and Colton both turned 4! The children were busy collaborating with each other and engaging in a turkey themed week. They worked together on an alphabet train puzzle and were so proud when they completed it. The Thanksgiving lunch was also a huge success, the decorations were beautiful and the food was delicious! Thank you to all who helped!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with your families. Looking forward to seeing you all next week!

Love, Meika

The Sea Turtles had a short week, but a productive one! With a teacher in-service and Veteran's Day in between, we managed to conclude our study on the letter Ff and continue identifying patterns and sequencing. The kids even made traditional Native American garb out of paper bags from Trader Joe's! The children also worked on cutting curves as they made tissue paper corns - very festive and fun!
Next week will be all about being thankful and turkeys! Think hand-print turkeys, turkey bingo, a class blessings book and paper plate turkeys with hand cut feathers! Woo hoo!

See you Monday!

November!

November! Woo hoo! A new month for the Sea Turtles and we've started it off with a bang! From Fall leaves to Fall trees, the Sea Turtles have been busy cutting, gluing, painting and cooking! The children water colored paper leaves with green, red, yellow and brown and our new class tree is looking beautiful. This is how we make the leaves change color in Santa Barbara! We made red playdough in the classroom and the kids really enjoyed the process of seeing firsthand how it is made...As Colton said, it went from a "red soup" to "nice and soft." Francesca's mom, Kate, came into the classroom to read a story and the kids were engaged and loved it. Francesca was a good helper by turning the pages. We also celebrated Robert's 4th birthday, Happy Birthday!

Looking forward to next week where we will be learning about Pilgrims, Native Americans and the letter Ff!

See you Monday!
