November 2nd - 6th, 2026: Hello FALL!

Hello Firefly Families!

This week we started learning about the season of FALL and all the changes we see outside during this time of year. We went on a fall nature walk to collect fall items and wrote in our journals about what we found, watercolored fall leaves for our seasons tree, painted fall trees using loofahs, used pretend leaves/acorns/pumpkins to work on patterning, cut out leaves for cutting practice, and completed the emergent reader book, "I See Fall", to work on letter writing. We read the books We're Going on a Leaf Hunt, Awesome Autumn, and Fox and the Falling Leaves. Our HWT letter of the week was S. 

Reminders:

October 26th - 30th, 2026: Pumpkins & Halloween!

Happy Friday, Firefly Families!

We had a SPOOKTACULAR time this week in the Firefly Room! We painted gourds, hammered golf tees in a pumpkin, used pattern blocks to make jack-o-lantern faces, finished the journal prompt, "What are you going to be for Halloween?", made some Halloween SLIME and practiced ripping paper to make ourselves into mummies. After reading Pumpkin Jack, we started a cool experiment with a gourd in a jar with a little soil to see if it will deompose and sprout in a few months! We read the books We're Off to Find the Witch's House, Pumpkin Jack, Where's My Mummy?, and Strictly No Elephants to get ready for our "We All Belong" day next week. Our HWT letter of the week was Q. Our new character word for this quarter is CURIOUS. Check out the "Ride & Reflect" below to get your chld to talk more about being curious!

Reminders:

*Tuesday, November 3rd: NO SCHOOL!

*Friday, November 13th: LECC Fall Fling from 6-9 PM!
