Fall farm and fire safety

We have officially switched themes! It is fall, farm, and fire safety in the Octopus room. Prior to our theme change the children helped generate a list to participate in shared writing (teacher writes, children dictate) about what should be in our room for the next theme. The children also changed out all puzzles, and tub toys in order to ensure high level of interest and engagement within the environment. We will be learning many things during this theme:
-letters B, F, P
-non fiction study about spiders
-farm animals: pig, cow, horse, sheep, duck
-pumpkins (parts of the pumpkin, size ordering, carving a pumpkin, and a shape face)
-apples (we will taste 3 apples, graph our favorite, and put our personal favorite in our journal)
-mommy and baby matching
-fire safety (stop drop and roll)
-fire truck we can eat
-pumpkin patterns
-pumpkin seed counting
-acting out Mrs. Wishy Washy
-class books: In went the Octopus Class (Mrs. Wishy Washy) and 10 apples up on top
