3 Year Olds Newsletter

Dear Parent,

 Thank you to all who joined us for Trunk-or-Treat. It was a lot of fun!

This week we are exploring with pumpkins. We will read Pumpkin, Pumpkin and Froggy Picks a Pumpkin. We will learn about the parts of a pumpkin and get to pull out pumpkin seeds. We will try to hammer tees into a pumpkin. We will learn the "Five Little Pumpkins" fingerplay. We will fingerpaint with yellow and red to make an orange pumpkin and cut to match pumpkins pictures. We will search our room to find numbers and mark them on our pumpkin paper. We will count pumpkin seeds and bring some home to plant next year. We will find the letters of our name. Of course, we will sing songs about Halloween and counting to twenty. As you can see, we will be busy!
