This week we
learned the letter Rr and its sound. We pretended to be “Rrrrrockets” and
blasted off. For some of our letter craft this week we painted Rainbows and glued
cotton ball clouds onto them. 
We also colored our shape of the week, star, with
our color of the week, red, then again, my older class got to cut them out. The classes have picked up on the pattern of this craft to the point that my older class knows to look to the bulletin board for what color they will then start searching through the crayons to color the shape in front of them. All with no guidance from me! They also no longer argue that their shape is colored with a couple scribbles in hopes to get the scissors sooner. They know that at this point I insist the shape be fully covered before they can begin cutting- I don't care if they've scribbled all over the paper as long as the shape is covered.
This week our
theme was Autumn. We made leaf puppets. They were very cute and the kids did a
really good job with them. We also did more experiment testing to see if
acorns, rocks, leaves, and apples would sink or float. It was fun to experiment
with the apples and see if the color of the apple mattered if they sank or
float. If you’re eager to know- it doesn’t, apples float no matter the color. 😉
