KINDERGARTEN IS A HOOT!

Wow, what a fun day we have had celebrating fall! We went trick-or-treating all over campus and your children are bringing home lots of candy and goodies in their box. We ate pizza, chips, doughnuts, cookies, and grapes in a Frankenstein cup! We played games and guessed how many spiders there were in the jar. We made some great memories!

After the party, we went "owling." When you go"owling" you must be quiet and brave in order to see an owl. Ask your children if we saw any.
Next week, we will dissect an owl pellet in the Stem Lab. This is always an exciting and slightly yucky time. Please feel free to stop by the classroom and check out what we find in the pellet.

It is the time of the year when we go from studying about pumpkins, owls, and spiders, to studying about Pilgrims and Native Americans. We will have a teepee in our room next week that the students will get to paint symbols on and at nap time, all good little girls and boys will get a chance to sleep in.

WE TEACH THE CUTEST PUMPKINS IN THE PATCH!!

THE PUMPKIN PATCH

We had a wonderful time on our trip to the pumpkin patch. We had great weather and I think everyone had some fantastic fall fun! We went on a scavenger hunt hay ride, saw some farm animals, played in a hay maze and on a fun playground, and of course, we picked out our own pumpkin to take home. Thank you to all the parents who went with us! You were great help and trips like this would not be possible without you!! Please enjoy the pictures below of our trip.

This week we learned all about pumpkins. We learned the parts of a pumpkin, we counted the seeds  in the pumpkin, we measured how tall our pumpkin was, and we counted the ribs of the pumpkin. We ended the week by going to the Stem Lab and making a pumpkin volcano. It was really neat! Please enjoy the pictures below of our Stem Lab visit.

This Friday, we will be having our Fall Party. It will be from 9:45-11:15. We will begin by going trick or treating around campus and then return to our classroom to eat pizza and goodies for lunch. Parents are welcome to come and join in on the fun!

REMINDERS FOR THIS WEEK:

• Bring covered box (black paper on cereal type box) for trick or treating by Monday.
• Bring in bag of individually wrapped candy
• Bring $3.00 for pizza for party

We hope that you have had a restful weekend!
