We kicked off our new unit with lots of curiosity and exploration! In our Curiosity Corner, Dragonfly 1 created maps and talked about the special places and people who make our community a wonderful place to live. We learned about different community helpers who help keep us safe, healthy, and cared for, and explored some of the important tools they use to do their jobs. ๐Ÿ”Ž๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿš’๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿฉบ

This week in Dragonfly 2, we began a new unit called โ€œPlaces and Faces in Our Communities!โ€ We explored the letter Cc with a fun confetti activity and enjoyed reading a book together. The children worked with partners to match different stores with the items they sell, helping us learn more about the places in our community. We also practiced counting to 13 and creating AABB patterns. It was a fun week full of learning, teamwork, and exploring our community!

Our Letter of the Week was C! ๐Ÿ”ค We had so much fun learning, exploring, and practicing our letter sounds together.

๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป Spooky Season is coming! We got into the Halloween spirit by making our very own mummies! ๐Ÿงป๐Ÿ‘ป While creating our spooky friends, we practiced our fine motor skills by carefully using tape to wrap and decorate our mummies. So much learning hidden inside the fun!

๐ŸŒง๏ธโ˜” It may have been a rainy week, but that definitely didnโ€™t stop the fun! When we had indoor recess, we enjoyed playing indoor games, dancing and listening to music, and spending time together. ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿงฉ๐Ÿ’ƒ

This week the Cricket 1 classroom have been exploring apples! Where they come from, taste and feel like. Our friends got the chance to go to the apple orchard and pick and wash some apples. We enjoyed taste testing the different colored apples and seeing which the class liked best. The crickets also enjoyed exploring with friends outside.

What a fun week in the Cricket 2 classroom! ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ’™
This week, we continued learning about families and what makes them special. We talked about what it means to be a big helper and pretended to help wash some babies. We also discussed what we do when visiting relatives and had fun pretending to go on a family picnic. Some of our friends enjoyed working in Construction, where they built family homes together!
We also continued learning about shapes and explored different ways to create them. We practiced drawing circles using different writing tools and used molding foam to create squares. After letting our foam shapes dry, we discovered that putting two squares together can make a rectangle!
To top off our week, we enjoyed the beautiful weather, spending time with our friends and sharing a yummy snack on our back porch. What a wonderful week of learning, playing, and growing together! ๐ŸŒŸ
