October 2015

We just finished the 2nd month of school and it was a busy month! Our themes consisted of Fall, Squirrels & Nuts, Community Helpers and Halloween.  We learned about firefighters, touched eyeballs, ate an orange lunch and went on a hayride....and that was just part of the month.
Just look...
The weather continued to be nice, at the beginning of the month, so the children could enjoy the outside play area.  We even planted bulbs!!!









We got our pictures taken for Mommy and Daddy!

We made Fall art projects!
We had library time!


We had Star Students!
We had Mystery Reader Time!


For Show & Tell, we shared items related to Fall, Squirrels & Nuts, and Halloween.






We made a leaf, an acorn and had a VERY ORANGE lunch!












We enjoyed 3 Science Experiments this month and we continue to have so much fun on SCIENCE DAY!!!!
 1st - Seasons
We split a tree into four sections to show the four seasons of a tree.
Winter - Cotton balls for snow
Spring - Popcorn for blossoms
Summer - Green paint for leaves
Fall - Fall colored paper for Autumn leaves






Ms. Robin said her popcorn looked like a little dog!!!


2nd - Earthworm Habitats
We made earthworm habitats by putting 2 layers of dirt and sand in a bowl.  We placed a toilet paper roll in the middle so the worms would stay close to the sides of the container.  Next, we sprayed it with water and placed 3-4 worms on top.  Last, we fed the worms coffee grounds, lettuce and carrots.  








3rd - Halloween Mystery Boxes
We stuck our hands in a mystery box and tried to guess what was used for the Witches body part!!!
Witches' brains-cooked spaghetti
Witches' eyeballs-peeled grapes
Witches' ears-dried apricots
Witches' teeth-corn kernels
Witches' tongue-long sliced bananas
Witches' fingers-carrot sticks 












Ms. Carson pulled in some fun activities for the week of Halloween.  We love OT!!!!!










 We dressed up in our costumes for our annual 
Halloween Parade!
