We talked about Scarecrows and why farmers use them. I also explained that some people including myself like to decorate yards in the fall with Scarecrows. We then learned a fun poem about 2 black birds:
2 little Black Birds sitting on a gate
One name John and one named Kate
Fly away John, fly away Kate.
Come back John, come back Kate.
We used our fingers to pull off the backs of Black Bird stickers and stuck them to our #2.
We then sang the song "Shoo Crow, Don't Bother Me!" While on the #2, our snacks was Graham Crackers. We took 1 Graham, and broke it into 2 grahams. We had a lot of fun dunking our crackers into milk afterwards.
Our Story today, "In November" by Cynthia Rylant was about different signs of autumn and fall season. We made a leaf wreath for our craft and even glued some candy corn onto our wreaths. I hope they make a fun decoration in your homes.
Instead of "Going on a Bear Hunt" game, we went on a "Leaf Hunt" game. It was a lot of fun up a hill, around a water fall, through the forest, and over a lake, in search of colorful leaves, until we pretended to hear and see a skunk. Then we had to quickly reverse our path back home.
For singing time, we started learning the list of fun November songs that were sent home with the November calendars.
