Number Corner... 
We reviewed our number corner and recognized patterns happening on our calendar. October has changed to be leaves of different colors. It has started with one Red leaf pointing up! Then one green leaf pointing right, then one yellow leaf pointing down, then one brown leaf pointing left, then two red leaves pointing up, two green leaves pointing right, two yellow leaved pointing down,  two brown leaves pointing left and today three red leaves pointing up! The pattern changes daily.

Book Corner....
Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willams.
Trixie, Daddy and Knuffle Bunny take a trip to the neighborhood Launrdomat. But the exciting adventure takes a dramatic turn when Trixi realizes somebunny was left behind....Using a combination of muted black and white photographs and expressive illustrations, this stunning book tells a brilliantly true-to-life tale about what happens when Daddy's in charge and things go terribly, hilariously wrong.


Big Bear to the Rescue by Richard Margolis
Big Bear tries to borrow a rope to save Mr. Mole.


Math....
In math we made combinations to 10 on our tens frame boards.  We used two different colors and made number sentences to match our colors.  Like 4 red cubes plus 6 blue cubes equals 10 cubes. 

Math stations.....

Laguage Arts....
We learned a new letter today, Uu. U is a vowel!  Ukalali, Umbrella, under, underline, undershirt, unicorn, unicycle. umpire. We also reviewed the other letters we have learned so far. We are really doing a great job learning our letters. We are able to recognize them, say their sound and identify an object that starts with that letter. We have now learned 7 letters in the alphabet! Way to go kids!!

We then had "Fun Fit Time" where we break off into small groups to focus on writing our names.

Science....
We are Engineers!
Today we built our own houses out of straw, sticks or bricks! We learned about the Big Bad Wolf, who you may have heard of, and then we were challenged with the task of creating a house out of materials of toothpicks, popcicle sticks or foam bricks and two strips of clay. Then we have to see if the Big Bad Wolf can blow down our houses?

We had a visitor....The Big Bad Wolf!!! He challenged us to make a house that he cannot blow down.

 So we began to put our our Engineering minds to the task.....

Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf???? Stay tuned to see if the Big Bad Wolf was able to blow down any houses!
