Pumpkin carving is a timeless tradition in many households.
Not only does it create lasting memories, but the tradition also
provides a necessary opportunity for developmental growth.
The tradition encourages fine motor (hand) strength, challenges visual-spatial abilities,
and heightens the tactile (touch) sense. Carve away! Here is an alternative, if need be.

 1. Hammer

 2. Nails 

                                            3. Embroidery Thread

                                                       4. A Pumpkin

Preschool Newsflash * October 4, 2019

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!

Happenings in 2nd grade

Playing in the leaves in order to inspire a writing project:

learning how to research a wild animal using non-fiction texts.  They published their work in Google Slides.

River Cleanup

The 4th and 5th graders participated in cleaning up the Black River.  It was a rainy day to play in the river.

Preschool Newsflash Week of September 13, 2109

Preschool Newsflash 

How about these poses!  Some fabulous full body stances that the kids would like me to print out and tape onto some of the blocks for building!  While using our wooden blocks, some of the kids discovered pictures of children who used to be in preschool!  Cameron found his brother Caiden and put him on the top of his castle!  So fun!  Now structures can be built for us!  I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of homes and castles we see in the next few weeks!

Picture day was eventful as it always is J  Due to some complications with the camera equipment, we will be doing our class photo on picture retake day!  I will make sure to send out a reminder as the day approaches!

On Thursday and Friday the children were busy building, exploring new toys and practicing their names after listening to the story, “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom”!  We watched the story read aloud on YouTube…it’s fantastic with animation and music enhancing the book!  On Friday we had a special visit from Ms. Sacha, our Fletcher Memorial Library children’s librarian!  She will be coming on Fridays to read a story and plan music/movement activities with the kids before lunch!  Such a wonderful time!  We truly enjoy having Ms. Sacha join us in the classroom!

A little reminder to families to please make sure your child has extra clothes with them!   We get messy and wet while doing some of our activities!

Thank you!  Enjoy your weekend!

Preschool Newsflash week of 9/6

Happy Friday to all of our families!

We had another busy week here in the preschool classroom! We talked a lot about houses and families. We decorated a fantastic box and created a little house of our own to have in the dramatic play center! Fits two children easily! Add some books or a baby and it’s a great timeJ

We also graphed the number of people that live in each of our homes! This made for a lot of conversation about individual families. We will continue with this topic next week with a “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” added twist!

All of us are getting really good at our classroom routine! Circle time has been so much fun. Singing our daily songs, learning each other’s names, taking turns, counting calendar and doing daily jobs! Good Stuff! Good Times!

Most exciting! Our brand new cooking cart has arrived! We can’t wait to start cooking! A huge thank you to our custodians for putting our cart together, as always, taking very good care of us!


Enjoy your weekend! Warmly, Lora
