Ms. Murray's Classes
Hi Preschool Families! Announcements:
The weather is starting to turn and they are loving it! We had a great time inside and outside this week in both classes. On Monday, there was masking tape on the tables and they had to use small pretend acorns to line them up on the tape. This is a great fine motor activity to help strengthen their hand muscles. This is a fun activity that can be done at home as well — you could even gather real acorns! On Monday, the kiddos enjoyed jumping off of different objects on the playground. They tested jumping off of the sandbox and the rocks. It was great to see them try new things that could be a little scary. The fall and spooky books have been put out on our book shelves. Both classes have enjoyed the change in books and it’s great to see which books pique their interests. A big hit on Thursday was The Spooky Box by Mark Gonyea. It is a fun story about guessing what could be inside a spooky box (Is it rats? Is it bats?). The best part of the story is that we never find out what is actually inside! It leads to great imaginative thinking. I met Mark Gonyea at a comic con a while back where I bought that book and another one of his called Ten Little Monsters. He’s a talented author and kind person! I discovered a new app called Novel Effect. It is a read aloud app where you find the book you are going to read and it listens to you read it to pair fun sound scapes that match the story. We tried it out on Monday with Brown Bear, Brown Bear and it was so fun to hear the different animal sounds while reading the story. On Wednesday and Thursday, we read Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson — I will read this book with the Monday/Tuesday class next week! The Wed/Thurs class did some directed drawings of the witches hat and bow from the story. We love seeing their interpretations of what those objects look like! We will hang them up around the classroom next week. Ask Your Child: What is your favorite part of the day? Why? Have a wonderful long weekend! Deanna
