Our big news this week was an exciting visit to the fire station. The children's play focused on their excitement, as there were many firefighters, rescue heroes in red, vehicles made from large blocks, "hoses" and possibly other rescue tools made from building toys, and loud rescue noises coming from the block rug. At the fire station, we were able to watch a dad get dressed in all the firefighter gear, and then pat him as he crawled around for familiarity and comfort. Exploring the fire trucks and their size was very exciting. We painted with fall items for paintbrushes (or paintbrushes) and began a project of bowl making for a school-wide "empty bowls" fundraiser. "Magic cutting" was a choice at the table, and the children cut on the lines to make "butterflies" (squash) and other flying objects as well as spirally vines. Our baking project this week was a recipe for pumpkin corn muffins that was shared by a family. "Guess how many children ate a muffin? All of them!!"
Until Next Time,
Michele
