Five Senses, Columbus Day and the letter J

What a busy week. It was "jam packed" with activities and learning. We made fall decorations for a church member stationed in Afghanistan. Our class decided to do a creative interpretation of a jack o'lantern. Each class in the preschool is sending fall decorations for a coffee shop on the military base. It will bring a sense of home to our soldiers who bravely protect us. (I couldn't post the pictures due to names on papers. Sorry.) It was a fun art project done completely by each child. We also celebrated Columbus Day a little bit early, due to a school holiday on Monday.
We made a Columbus hat and learned that he was a great explorer. History is fun, but some of us had a difficult time understanding why Columbus didn't use a cell phone or GPS to help him find his way.

We also continued to play in centers and do great work.
This was a coloring activity that involved our sense of hearing (listening for instructions) and our sense of sight. We also used our sense of touch when coloring. It was a great week and we look forward to finishing the unit on our five senses next week. There was lots more to share, but space limits the photos. Mrs. Julie and I love teaching your children and appreciate your support from home.
