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
