October has been a fun month, learning about apples and pumpkins. We learned about different parts of an apple, where they grow, how we get them, and what different kinds of apples taste like. Thank you Miss Graham for helping us taste test red apples, green apples, and applesauce. This week we will shift our focus to pumpkins. We will explore how they feel, taste, smell, change, and where they grow.
This week we begin one of our most engaging stories, “The Little Old Lady Who Is Not Afraid Of Anything.” In this story, clothing items make various noises as they chase the little old lady home from her walk in the woods. We use many of props that encourages a lot of student participation! For example, the two shoes go “clomp clomp” so students stomp their feet and the pair of pants goes “wiggle wiggle” so the students wiggle their legs. This goes on for the entire “outfit” from shirt to hat to gloves. Then a pumpkin head says “Boo! Boo!” and the little old lady runs home. At the end of the story the old lady tells the clothes and pumpkin head to pretend to be a scarecrow. When she wakes up, the clothes have become a scarecrow, scaring the crows away! I encourage you to check out this book and read it at home with your child.
