Our Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Our pumpkin patch field trip is one of my favorite things that we do!  We go to an amazing place called Cotants every year and they have a great set up for kids.  We get to go on a hay ride, pick an apple, pick out a pumpkin, watch how apple cider is made, eat donuts and cider, and play in the indoor area that is stocked with a bounce house, powered John Deere tractors, a zip line, and hay maze.  The kids had a blast to say the least.  So much so, that most of them actually fell asleep during quiet time :)  Check out some of the awesome things we did below!

So far, we have had a very busy fall!  My due date is only 2 weeks away and I know I'm going to miss seeing these kiddos every day!

A Visit From the Firefighters!

We as preschoolers take fire safety very seriously and one way to learn about it is directly from our local firefighters!  We are lucky to have some firefighters volunteer their time to come in with their gear and truck to teach us all about what they do and how to stay safe.  The kids really enjoy it!

First they show us how their gear works and let the kids come up and tough them so they know not to scared.

Then we head outside to see their truck!

They even let us walk through the truck...

Thank you to the firefighters who gave us this great experience!!

Art Gallery Fundraiser

Every year we have our Art Gallery Fundraiser here in the preschool.  The kids work hard to get original pieces of their art together and we display them in the hallway.  Parents, grandparents, friends, etc come the night of the Art Gallery and donate money to take the artwork home with them. It's a great fundraiser for us and a fun night for the kids to show off all their hard work.

This year we did marble painting...

We also painted with leaves...

Made the Very Hungry Caterpillar with balloons...

Then displayed all of our work in the hallway to be admired by all!!

Thanks for stopping by!  Up next...our firefighter visit :)
