Pictures, Recess Run and Halloween!
Happy Fall Y'all! We had a wonderful September getting to know you and your wonderful Sunbeams!
A visit from Fire Station 20 kicked off what is sure to be an outstanding October! We are looking forward to class and individual pictures October 8/9th with Ms. Blaire. Our Recess Run 5k and Fun Run is quickly approaching on October 19th! I am sure everyone is excited to celebrate Halloween at GBP! More details on these events below.
We're looking forward to concentrating on the following themes this month: Farm, Fall, Halloween, pumpkins, camping, color orange, circle, letters C, D, E and F.
In Music Class, we will continue to explore beat vs. rhythm and note value. Our composer of the month is Edvard Grieg. We will take a close listen to his In the Hall of the Mountain King (so Halloween-y). We will also listen to Morning Mood. Both of these pieces by Edvard Grieg were written for Ibsen's play Peer Gynt. In Chapel, we will use the stories of Moses, Samuel and David to discuss how we can share God's love with others. Our bible verse for the month of October is found in 1 Samuel 3:9, "Speak Lord for your servant is listening".
