Special Person’s Day is always such a magical day on campus.  The sunbutter apple dip was a hit!  It was also so fun watching everyone get creative making clothespin people.  We love seeing the little ones spend quality time with the people they love most.

One of the highlights from this week was the children starting their Halloween spooky writings! This is alway a favorite! As the month progresses, we will sit around the “campfire” and share our stories aloud! The kiddos have also been working hard on their Flat Stanley books.  Soon they will begin their paper bag book reports!

In math this week we started working on place value.  We are using base ten blocks to build two-digit numbers and show their values.  It’s important to be able to see a number quickly with a skill called subitizing, so there was a specific way the children learned to organize their blocks.  We were already on to identifying numbers with just the representations of the blocks on paper and drawing them ourselves.  Next week we will be comparing, ordering, and adding those two-digit numbers together.  

Deep Dive allowed us another opportunity to talk about severe weather, disasters, and how to stay safe taking a look at landslides.  The students created their own “tiny towns” with a hill of dirt, small rocks, sticks, and leaves.  They tried their best to pack it all tightly, similar to how either tree and plant roots or a manmade structure can hold the land together, before ‘rain’ fell from the watering can.  It’s amazing watching them think and work together.

We hope you have the best long fall weekend!  See you soon!

Laura, Carly, and Bekah
