A Peek At Our Week

We have been very busy with pumpkin science projects like sink and float, what's inside a pumpkin and what will happen?   

What is inside a Pumpkin?



 What will happen?

After the children were done exploring what was inside the pumpkin we cut up the pumpkin and placed the pieces inside a glass jar.  What had the children predict what they thought would happen to the pumpkin inside the jar.

We will keep you post with pictures at what is happening to our pumpkin.

Monthly Madness Planning Link Party


What will you be doing for the Month of October.

Take a sneak peak at what I have planned for all of my little ones.

I will be staring off the month with this fabulous book Pumpkin Heads by Wendell Minor. 

Before reading the book we will be having a shred reading discussion

If you had a pumpkin what would you do with it?

If you carved a pumpkin what would yours look like?

For the first two weeks I will be blinding in the two lesson plans Scarecrows and Pumpkin Patch that can be found on TPT and TNB 



I will also be adding the Scarecrow art that I found on Katherine Maries Blog.  Hop on over to her blog and you will not be disappointed with all of her cleaver ideas.


I will also be using Pumpkin on the Move for a movement activity by Leah Perry.  You can find it on her TPT store.

For the last two weeks of October I will be using the units Math Fun with Spider and Monster Mash Lesson Plan these can be found on TPT and TNB



I will also be adding these cute little scrap monsters from Katherine Maries Blog.  


I will be reading this 5 Little Monsters Hiding Under the Bed by 123 Learning Curriculum



 What will you be planning for the month of October?  Join in the fun of sharing ideas with other by linking up with a link to your post below.

Fall Fun in Preschool

Fall Bulletin Board
Finger painted leaves and arm and hand print branches made up our fall tree.
Fall Color Pocket Chart using Children’s Names

________ saw _______ leaves falling.
(Child’s name)               (Color leaf)
Tami saw red leaves falling.
Cody saw yellow leaves falling.

Leaf Prints 
Children painted leaves with different colors of paint.  Once they finished painting their leaf they pressed and rub a sheet of white paper on top of the painted leaf.  Children can embellish their prints by sprinkle glitter onto the wet paint.   
Leaf Math Cards 
Set out a supply of craft foam leaf for counters.  You can purchase them from a dollar store.  Give each child a bucket math mat, one dice and one dry erasable marker. 
Have children roll the dice and identify the number on the dice.  Next have the children count out that number of leaves and place them in one of the buckets.  Once the children have filled their first bucket with the right amount of leaves have them roll their dice again and do the same thing with the second bucket.  Once both of the buckets are full have them add the two together and write the amount in the square.
To make the math mat simply click on the link above and make copies of the math mats onto card stock.  Cut each sheet in half and then laminate for durability

Building Math Skills with Pocket Charts

When teaching about math at circle time I find that it is helpful if I use a pocket chart so that the children can be more involved in the process. Children are able to come up and move the number cards around until they are able to have them in the proper order and as they place the cards in proper order they will discover that the numbers have also created a math pattern.
Pocket charts are a sure way to engage children in learning about numbers and patterns.  These pocket chart printed number cards with a pattern sequence are an interactive way to teach children about number order and pattern 1 through 30.  With these pocket chart cards children can practice putting numbers in order and as they master putting the numbers in order they will discover that they are also creating patterns with the cards. These fun illustrated number cards are sure to make learning about numbers fun.

Patterns that are used in the fall theme number cards are (ABAB, AABB, ABC, AABAA, and AABBCC)


You can find these pocket chart number pattern cards on Teachers Pay Teachers for $2.75 the booklet includes 5 pocket chart number cards 1 - 30 that can be used during large group or for small group activities.
 Booklet Includes
Apples (ABC Pattern)
Pumpkins and Crows (AABB Pattern)
Scarecrows (ABAB Pattern)
Monsters (AABBCC Pattern)
Leaves (AABAA Pattern)
