Thursday in Mr. Anthony's Classroom

Mr Anthony read the Pumpkin Circle book today.  It is a book that describes the life cycle of a pumpkin.

Mr. Anthony sang a Pumpkin Song with his students that they learned in Music Class this week...

Children had the opportunity to cut out pumpkin sequence cards, and sequence the steps of a pumpkin's growth.  It was a great opportunity to learn to cut on a line with scissors.

It was also a good opportunity to practice name writing and develop coloring skills.  The children were motivated by the activity to practice and develop fine motor skills.

Look at the gross (which means large muscle) motor learning activities available today...

In gym class we played with bean bags and hula hoops!

Another fun and engaging activity was to balance on a spider web made out of tape and pick up bugs!

There was a lot of spider talk today! 

Look at all of the new visuals that support children's understanding of classroom expectations.  The children are excited to "read" the visuals and demonstrate that they know what they mean.

You can show your children pictures from my blog and have great conversations about what is happening in their classroom.
