Jumping into November

WOW, we can’t believe November is here.  What a busy start we have had!  Our children seem to love the cooler temperatures.  With this in mind, please remember to dress your children in layers.

With our new season, our children have been raking the beautiful leaves and collecting them to take home, along with mint leaves from the garden.  The children are enjoying feeding the abundance of birds in the outdoor classroom.  We welcome contributions of stale crackers, pretzels or birdseed.

We welcome Ms. Kim to our outdoor team.  Special thanks to PTO mom Lynn for contributing the great dragonfly and centipede from World History Day to our outdoor environment.  Please enjoy these memorable pictures and have a great Thanksgiving with family and friends.  As always, we are thankful for your children!

Remember, learning is endless!

Octoberfest

Fall is in the air!  Our seasonal activities include pumpkin washing, corn art, leaf collages, and plucking pomegranate seeds.  As we enjoy the cooler temperatures, please remember that weather can change throughout the day and our friends need to have a sweater or jacket available as well as a change of clothes in case they get wet in the garden.  Enjoy these pictures of children at work, and have a happy October!

Remember, learning is endless!

A special thanks to our wonderful PTO for the beautiful water table that is used morning and afternoon every day, and also for the easel, which will show the colors of our rainbow throughout the year.

Please remember, learning is endless!
