Happy October Families!

Here in the preschool room, we have been as busy as the changing weather this week!  Reading stories, building structures, playing board games and creating maps!  The picture on the bottom left is a map of our classroom!  I added pictures from different areas in the room and then had the children add on areas and materials that were missing.  The best part about this activity was the conversation that happened while we were drawing.  Our big map will be displayed in the classroom so the kids can revisit and continue to add on. 

This activity sparked an interest in creating maps of our homes!  We had homes and streets drawn…such great minds and attention to detail.  We will continue to discuss maps and creating maps for next week.  I believe we have a few children interested in creating treasure maps!  What fun!  I wonder where we will find our treasure.

It was nice to spend some time with families last night during our Open House.  Always a good thing for children to come and play in the classroom with their families.  It builds a nice connection between home and school.

Tomorrow is a big day for the school with the Annual Harvest Fair happening on the front lawn of the high school from 10-4!  Come join in on the fun!  This event benefits all of the children in the school!  Great vendors along with food and a visit with the Ludlow Fire Department!  Tomorrow is supposed to be a beautiful day!
