In Mrs. Orr's class, we began by looking at how seasons change and what makes us think of the Fall. We looked at many Fall item in my Amazing Autumn box - pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns large and small, Indian corn, a toy Stellaluna bat, colored leaves, acorns, and a Halloween cat. We finished the lesson by creating sentences about the items - "In the Fall we see_____."

In Ms,Friedman's class we read a cute Halloween book called "Wee Witches Halloween" by Jerry Smith." The signs for Halloween, witch, pumpkin, jack-o-lantern were used throughout the lesson. The most fun was when we carved our own jack-o-lantern on the Smart Board at the following website: http://spookathon.com/halloween/pumpkin-carver.php Try it, it's fun!

In both Ms. Friedman and Mrs. Orr's classes we read a sweet story about a squirrel who came to visit called "Nuts to You." We practiced the signs for vocabulary from the story for squirrel, nuts, tree, flower, and bird. The most fun was singing along to the song Gray Squirrel on the following website: http://www.scarysquirrel.org/special/movies/gskwerlsong/. Finally we put together puzzle pieces and made our own cute squirrel.
