This has been another busy week in 3B, and we are working on some great projects! Throughout the week we spent time creating our Creepy Carrots costumes for Halloween on Thursday. They have turned out great, and we are so excited to wear them next week. There has been a lot of talk about candy this week, too, which is where the bigger excitement probably comes from, but for the adults, seeing these costumes come to life is very fun! The 3B friends showed great focus, creativity, and persistence as the Creepy Carrots came together.
Reminder: The Halloween parade and party will be taking place on Thursday, October 31. The parade begins at 9:30 and will last about 45 minutes to an hour. Please remember to let Adam or Debbie know who will have special grownups that day, and who will need to be partnered up with a chaperone. Also, we will be having a pizza party after the parade. Please remember to contribute $6 to the pizza fund prior to Halloween day. Lastly, we are still in need of volunteers to bring Halloween treats and vegetable sticks for the party. Please, let us know if you are interested. Thank you very much everyone, this is going to be a great day!
Another project that we have been working on for the past number of weeks has been our class map. The map came about organically from the children, after we made paint and used it to paint a sheet brought in from Debbie’s home. When the children saw it after they painted it for the first time it was established to be a map. All the children found places on it to put their homes. Now they have created homes to put on the map as well. Plus, there will be more to come. We are looking forward to seeing where this project goes as we move ahead.
3B is beginning to take pride in their classroom jobs. They love having the responsibility that comes with the jobs, and they are oftentimes very eager to do their part. More and more, we will be establishing the routines of jobs in the classroom, and hopefully this will overlap to other places, such as home. It is exciting to watch the group as they develop leadership skills and begin to take their roles seriously. It will take some time for everything to come together fully, but we are already seeing strides as the children take ownership of their roles.
