harvest; woodland animals
North Pre 1 Families,
This month is all about harvest! We are learning that harvesting means gathering ripe crops, and we continue to expand our knowledge of fall fruits & vegetables to talk about other veggies like squash, carrots, even grain. Our PFM outdoor garden is filled with delicious herbs that preschoolers are able to explore and we are also able to enjoy sensory materials such as beans, seeds, and rice in our own personal sensory bins. Shelves are filled with harvest-themed reading materials and our art projects reflect our current topic. North Pre 1 kids are so excited to talk about their favorite types of foods and vegetables - yum!
North Pre 2 Families,
Our North Pre 2 classroom theme for this month is woodland animals! This means we get to explore a wide array of animals including predators such as bears and foxes, smaller critters like chipmunks and racoons, and even insects like butterflies. We talk about what woodland creatures eat, draw beautiful pictures of what we learn, and have materials available such as coloring pages and vocabulary flash cards that allow us to dive deeper into our theme. Some of our classroom favorites are beavers - they build dams made of wood that provide protection, you know!
