Apple, Pumpkins, and brrrrrr....Cold!


We had so much fun learning about apples and pumpkins this week! We learned that pumpkins start as seeds and then grow into sprouts. The sprouts turn into vines and on the vines, grow
flowers. These flowers develop into little green pumpkins. Then the green pumpkins grow into the big pumpkins we can carve into jack-o-lanterns.

We even got to explore “the guts” of a pumpkin in class!
Our field trip to Hermanson's Pumpkin Patch was a blast! It was the first time on a school bus for many of our friends. At the farm we saw lots of animals and took a hayride through the pumpkin patch and saw pumpkins that were orange, white, yellow, striped, bumpy and more. Check out our photos on the photo gallery page!!!

Our costume party will be held on Monday, October 31st. Please keep the following details in mind when helping your child select a costume.

We do not permit:
  • masks for safety reasons
  • make-up
  • guns/swords
  • please also refrain from anything overly scary ;)
Finally, your child must still be able to get in & out of his/her costume easily on their own to use the bathroom.

Thank you for packing appropriate outerwear for your child each day! It is Wisconsin, one day can be sunny and 70 degrees, while the next is 45 degrees and windy. Layers are best so don't forget jackets, hats and mittens, just in case we need them. 

If you would like your child's information included in our class contact list, please be sure to return the info form by Monday, October 31st.

Unwanted photos and payments are now due!
