| October Learning Topics | | October is going to be a very busy month! This month we will be discussing the following topics:
- Fire Saftey
- Fall - acorns, leaves, leaf change, squirrels
- Pumpkins - inside and out, pumpkin muffins, seed tasting, seed counting
- Halloween - stories, costumes, party, parade
- Alphabet letters - L, F, E, and H
- Nocturnal Animals/Night Creatures - owls, bats, spiders
Along with fire safety lessons we hope to have a visit from the Beallsville Fire Department, so that the children have the opportunity to see a fire truck, and see a firefighter dressed in their gear.
We will be introducing, completing handwriting crafts and activities, and instructing students in how to write and form letters using the D’Nealian Handwriting method, which is the handwriting program that is used schoolwide.
The month will end with fun, not scary Halloween Activities! | |

| Music | | Nancy Taylor, Music Teacher
The Pre-Kindergarten students have enjoyed playing singing games together. They have been singing from books like Over In the Meadow (Langstaff) and Frog Went A-Courtin' (Langstaff), where they can follow the words on a page, and also see illustrations of what they are singing about. They have sung songs incorporating their own names, songs about animals, and about colors. And they do a great job with action songs! | |
