Fall is here finally! We are feeling a reprieve from the exhausting heat of summer and the children LOVE going outside more than ever for recess. Over the years I have noticed several trees that stand out to be more beautiful than others as their leaves change. Therefore to make sure the children observe this process, write about it, and marvel at it as well, they will journal about the transforming foliage in our pretty Fall Booklets that Mrs. Hickman put together for me. :) I will take pictures of the children with our new class digital camera and they will be included in their reflections also throughout the upcoming weeks. It will be a fun way to take note of the outdoor wonders that take place in fall effecting deciduous and evergreen trees.
Kids say the cutest things...
In class this past week, the students brought money to purchase books at the school Book Fair. Several parents provided the class with books!!! I was also given a couple of gift certificates whereas I selected books for the children. I read the titles of the three books outloud to the class....Camilla the Cupcake Fairy, Dino Racers, and My Dad and I. We took a "picture walk" quickly through each book, then I asked them to predict which book might be their favorite and why. They voted and told me their reasons, which were so cute.
One little girl said "I will like the Camilla book because I like fairies and pink is my very favorite color!"
A little boy said "I will like the Dino Racers book because I think dinosaurs are sooooo cool!"
Another fella said "I will really like the book "My Dad and I" because my dad always says prayers with me when he tucks me in the bed."
ahhhhh, my heart melted.....so sweet!!!!!
