News In the ECSE Classroom!

Wow! The last couple of weeks have just flown by! We just finished 10 days of learning our colors and shapes. Each day the children dressed in that color and brought items the same color and the shape of the day. Almost all the children can show you the sign language for all the colors. It was a fun time had by all! In the next two weeks we will be studying community helpers and transportation. On Tuesday, September 20, we will be taking a field trip to Holton to the t-shirt shop. Each child will learn about being a t-shirt maker. They will make their own class shirt and then we go to the community park to play. We will have a fire fighter, police officer, and a hair dresser come to the class to talk about their professions as well. We have started our animal science project with the high school class. Last week we had a tarantula. We fed it grasshoppers (without the legs) and kept it full of water. This week we have 4 baby snakes. It is teaching us all not to fear animals and how to take care of them. The high school students are wonderful! Next week is spirit week. We will be celebrating homecoming week and cheering for the Cobras!!!! We have learned a new cheer GO COBRAS! :0) I know.....real original right? We would love for everyone to be a part of our pep assembly at 2:40 at the high school next Friday. Jackson Heights is up for a wonderful award for school spirit. The following dress attire for next week is in support of the week: Monday wear pajamas Tuesday: 50's day Wednesday: 60's day and Thursday 80's and Friday: green and gold day

September is off to a good start!

Just a little update with Jackson Heights Early Childhood. We are currently studying colors and shapes. Each day we wear a different color and do activities with the color and shape of the day. Today we are doing purple. MY FFAVORITE! GO K-STATE WILDCATS! :) Beginning September 19th we will begin our study of community workers and transportation. On September 20th we will be taking a field trip to Holton to Custom Creations. The children will learn about making a t-shirt and they actually get to make their own class shirt that day. A trip to the park will follow. Below are some photos of recent class activities. I hope you enjoy viewing them.
