Happy Birthday Kendall! We have had a very busy week learning about what animals do in the fall to get ready for the winter! We talked about big concepts like hibernation and migration. We learned that some birds and butterflies fly somewhere warm (south) for the winter. We also learned that not only bears, but also animals like groundhogs, bats and beavers hibernate (or go into a deep sleep) in the winter, so in the fall they have to eat A LOT! We loved learning about squirrels, and how they spend the fall gathering up acorns and other nuts for food in the winter. Our art table was a busy place as usual: we marble painted squirrels, painted bird puppets and assembled an acorn and painted a HUGE squirrel for our fall bulletin board! We worked on patterning and color matching with owls, bats and squirrels. We also worked on number recognition and one-to-one correspondence with our squirrel and acorn game. The children had to identify the number on each squirrel (or count them if they weren't sure what number it was) and then "feed" the acorns to the squirrels! Next week we will continue to talk about fall, concentrating on the changing leaves and learning about why they change colors!
