This Week in JK

Art
We used fall colors to finger paint on Thursday. When the paint had dried by Friday, we cut our paintings into small pieces to make the mosaic leaves.






Autumn Scavenger Hunt
We went to the city park on Friday to search for various autumn items on our list. We needed to find leaves of many colors, winged seeds, bark, etc. It was fun to get out on an adventure. 



One of our students carefully captured a butterfly. We are releasing it in this picture.



Mrs. Donley is showing the students what winged seeds look like.



Our principal, Mr. Schwan, joined in on the fun!



This huge catalpa leaf came to our classroom all the way from Milbank. Thank you Mr. Krause for bringing it for us to see. 


Books
Our favorite books this week were about leaves and pumpkins. We also focused on the popular fable, The Lion and the Mouse. 


The Lion and the Mouse
We have enjoyed learning this story this week. Here, students are working on making puppets to help retell the story to their friends. Hopefully they had the chance to retell to you at home.




Mystery Reader
We were so excited to welcome another mystery reader into our classroom. Fridays are so special.


Soctober
We are enjoying the month of "Socktober." Thanks to all who were able to donate socks so far this month. Our "Socks Box" if filling up fast, and I know those in need will be appreciating your kindness.
