Fall is Here!


In our preschool classroom we are going to be talking about the Fall season. Our letter of the week is Ll for leaves as the leaves are changing colors and begining to fall. Some classroom activities will include Fall Bingo, cooking and decorating leaf shaped cookies, going on a nature walk to collect signs of fall, and making scarecrows for a craft. One of our stories this week is I Know and Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves which will focus on rhyming words.

Our song this week is "The Leaves on the Tree" (to the tune of Wheels on the Bus)
The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown, orange and brown, orange and brown. The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown, all through the town.
The leaves on the trees come tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. The leaves on the trees coming tumbling down, all through the town.
The leaves on the ground go swish, swish, swish. Swish, swish, swish. Swish, swish, swish. The leaves on the ground go swish, swish, swish, all through the town.

Fall is a great time to have some family fun! Enjoy the changing leaves and cooler air and celebrate the season with some
autumn-themed activities, such as fun crafts for fall and great fall recipe ideas. Click here for ideas.


This week will be our first week for Star Students. We are excited to learn a little more about our classmates and welcome parents to spend the day with their child to see what we do in our classroom. If you have any questions about this activity, please contact Ms. Gruskiewicz.
