CLICK HERE TO HEAR SOME OKTOBERFEST MUSIC (and watch your child dance):
This week in Reception 1, we talked about October, Tag der Einheit (Reunification Day), and Oktoberfest. We constructed and colored German flags, colored O K T O B E R F E S T letters to decorate our wall, colored, cut and constructed Oktoberfest mini-musicians, and we made pretzels out of modeling clay. We learned to dance the Chicken Dance (beaks, wings, tail feathers), and we ate pretzels, all to celebrate October being here. All month long it will be October, and all month long we will be doing fun October activities!
Mr. Bernard talks about how there were two Germanys and shows his East German flag.
Now there is one Germany
and one flag.
This guy can be turned into a moving, dancing accordion player!
LEARNING IS FUN!
We colored fall things in different amounts
to talk about Numbers 1-5.
Scarecrows, pumpkins, squirrels, American
footballs, apples and leaves: all signs of autumn.
When Devi got done coloring, she wrote numbers
on the back of each picture card.
Lani counts her pictures in sequential order.
Making pretzels out of Play-Dough!
(Later, we ate real pretzels for snack.)
We love playing with clay!
