Autumn Leaves Are Falling Down!

The theme was leaves!  We talked about the cycle of them and their purpose for the tree.  We made art using them and about them.  And we also did some really great fall activities in art as well.  Christmas will be here before you know it but we will still squeeze in the last little bit of fall while we can!

Pumpkins, Mummies, and Ghosts, Oh My

We had a really fun week filled with Jack-O-Laterns, ghosts, bats, and mummies!  Of course we took time out to share a few All About Me buckets.  On Tuesday, we got off to a rough start with the bad weather but were able to round out the day with some very cool stuff!  On Wednesday, our Halloween celebration was loads of enjoyment especially our costumes!

Caroline shares the things in her All About Me bucket!

We found out some really cool things about Caroline!
