Welcome to the week! This week we are learning a little bit about Halloween and a little bit about pumpkins which are seen everywhere this time of year!
Some of the KDIs we are concentrating on this week are-
Use of resources: Children gather information and formulate ideas about their world.- We are looking at the world around us and how our culture celebrates Halloween, we talked about All Hallow's Eve and All Saints Day on November 1st. We talked about how dressing up is just pretend, not real.
Empathy: Children demonstrate empathy toward others.- As we play with each other and run into little conflicts we encourage the children to put themselves into their friends place. We also prayed for two of our friends who were sick this week.
Pretend play: Children express and represent what they observe, think, imagine, and feel through pretend play.- As we dress up and pretend to be someone else, we practice different roles and jobs. Wonder Woman can still cook and Spiderman can still be a dad.
Jesus Time- This week we are hearing about how Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and into the desert. Wherever they went, God took care of them. He miraculously separated the Red Sea so the Israelites could walk across on dry land, provided manna and quail for them to eat in the wilderness. God is with us and takes care of us too!! Everyday!
Books of the Week- "Teddy Bears Trick or Treat" by Sam Williams, "A Halloween Scare in Michigan" by Eric James, and "The Pumpkin Patch Parable" by Liz Curtis Higgs.
For the zoo, car parking needs to be included in the prepayment. The cost is $6/ vehicle.
I would ask all of you to keep our 3rd and 4th grade teacher Jan Murphy in your prayers, she is hospitalized with pneumonia.
Hope to see all of you that I haven't yet seen Thursday or Friday of this week for our little conferences!
Have a fantastic week!
Mrs. Schneck
