Fall and Scarecrows

Although the weather is still warm and it doesn't feel too much like fall, our theme for the week was the season. We read and talked about the signs of fall and sang our song about the four seasons. The children made fall trees to illustrate the poem "Fall Leaves".

We made the funniest class book, Scarecrow, Scarecrow. The children drew pictures of scarecrows. I took pictures of the children looking like they were scared and paired the pictures with the rhyme: Scarecrow, scarecrow, how scary can you be? You scared Sofia (each child's name went here) but you didn't scare me! The photos/rhymes went in the book opposite the scarecrows each child drew. It has become a favorite class book.

The children made really cute TLC scarecrows and we hung those in the hall. Next week's theme is bats. We are looking forward to that and to Family Reading Night on Tuesday. We have some fun nursery rhyme activities planned for that night.
