Harvest Fun

Cooking, sharing, and singing out loud. All wonderful ways to celebrate!
Thank You!

November Continues.....

This week has been a week of music, food, and more discoveries about autumn. The children explored seeds and our favorite seed, the popcorn kernel!
We baked bread for the Harvest Feast (there should be plenty!) and made bouquets of dried flowers that we had picked on our windy walk.
We celebrated another birthday, and had a visit to practice our breathing and counting for meditation and relaxation.
The classroom was candlelit as we shared legends from long ago, and the children helped in telling a story and singing a song. We shared musical instruments on the science table, and paraded, sang together, and accompanied our friends musically as they danced.
The block corner was changed to "unit blocks" which sparked the children's imagination and interest!
Until Next Time,

We're taking an even closer look at autumn in the PreK classroom! We've glued seeds to paper, painted and printed with potatoes and pinecones, and sung songs about the earth and barnyards. The children made mashed potatoes to share at snack time, and we are looking at "tree seeds" in our science table, including pinecones.
We shared birthdays with special treats and wishes, and had guest readers galore (thank you!)
We have made many shakers, with cardboard tubes, egg cartons, and gourds...and we have a few songs to sing with them. The children follow the music and contribute their own rhythm to each song.
Each day with children is an absolutely new day, and we enjoy every moment!
Until Next Time,
Michele
