Field Trip Fun and Fire Fighters

October has been a blast in our class.  We've taken a "hands on" learning approach this month :)  Our trip to Cotants Farm Market consisted of watching how apple cider is made, picking our own apples, and selecting the perfect pumpkin from the patch.  The kids were enthralled with every second of the trip...including the bus drive :)

  As you can see, we had a fabulous time and our day was just about picture perfect...

Later that week, we had the fire fighters come visit with their truck and gear.  We have been talking about fire safety all month, so it was great for the kids to be able to see how it all works!  We even got to go inside the truck!

Coming up next...our halloween party!!

Fall Projects

During the past few weeks we have been busy getting ready for our big Art Gallery Fundraiser.  Each year, the kids create awesome art projects.  We display them in the hallway on the night of the fundraiser and parents can come and "buy" them.  We get all of the profits and the kids have a wonderful time!

We made leaf prints, alligators with our foot prints, hungry caterpillars out of balloons, and marble art.  The kids worked really hard and a great time getting it all together!

Outside Fun in the Fall!

The weather this fall has been amazing so far!  We've been trying to go outside at as much as possible.  The kids are working on their large motor skills on the big play ground.  They are also enjoying using side walk chalk to practice tracing their hands and feet as well as writing their names.  Too cute!

Spirit Week

We also celebrated spirit week in preparation for homecoming!  We had America Day, Farmer Day, Camo Day, College Day, and TK Spirit Day!  Go Green :) :) :)

Next up, we have our field trip to the pumpkin patch, a visit from the fire station, and our first report cards!!
