Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

We had so much fun on our first class field trip! We took a bus and visited our friends at Hermanson Pumpkin Patch. The kids enjoyed seeing the farm animals, taking a tractor/wagon ride, and the spooky barn! The pumpkin patch is still open for the season, you can visit their website at: http://hermansonpumpkinpatch.webs.com/ . Check out some of the pictures from our fun adventure.

Reminder that next Tuesday, Oct. 31st is our costume party!

Spookley Family Event

I really enjoyed visiting with all the families who were able to make it on Friday. The children had heard the pumpkin, Spookley. He was different and not all the pumpkins in the patch were nice to him. That is until he saved the day. We learned it is okay to be different. Go ahead and read the story of Spookley the Square Pumpkin. It's on YouTube. Thank you for all who came and enjoyed painting pumpkins and making scarecrows. Look for our next event in November. It's a Block Party at Central Lutheran Church, with a magician.

Exploring Signs of Fall

This week we noticed signs of fall. The changing colors, falling leaves and pumpkins. We enjoyed making orange leaves with red and yellow paint. It was fun to learn about crayon rubbings. We put leaves under our paper and rubbed over the top with the side of the crayon. Then we took textured plates and did rubbings of those. Our owls made with leaves, hanging in the classroom hallway were a real "hoot".

Stop, Drop, and Read About Our Week

This week we talked about fire safety. We started the week with a "fire drill" here at school, ask your child where our safe meeting place is (It's outside by the mailbox). We also put a lot of focus on the phrase "Get Out and Stay Out" instead of Stop, Drop, and Roll. If the kids take anything away from this week, we want it to be that they should get out of the fire quickly. Our projects this week required a lot of fine motor skills, we did some painting, coloring, and even cutting! On Wednesday the local fire dept. came to visit us. Check out some pictures from our fun week!

 4K PM Super Friends

 4K AM Super Friends

Congratulations 4K'ers!  We have had a SUPER first month of school.  We have been working on getting to know friends and their names, the routines of the day, cleaning up after ourselves, pouring our own milk/juice/water from a pitcher, following directions, lining up on a line, waiting our turn, sharing and being a SUPER 4K'er!

The first week of school we enjoyed getting to know one another.  It was great fun to explore the room and all the centers.  Outside was a blast.

First Day of School

Sorry for the delay in pictures but our old system of uploading pictures was not working so we have found a new method to share our 1st day photos with you!   Hope you enjoy and we are on our way to a routine of uploading weekly!
