Leaves Are Falling

We read a story about "Leaves, Leaves, Leaves" today.  We learned that some leaves turn yellow, some turn orange and some turn red in the fall.  Did you know that some leaves even stay green?  What makes the leaves fall to the ground?  What do we do with those leaves?

When we got to school, it was warm and sunny so we played outside.  We had the hoops, balls, Play Doh and big trucks.  Those trucks sure do work hard outside.  Our songs were "5 Little Pumpkins", "Leaves Are Falling", "Grey Squirrel", "It Is Fall", "It's Time to Rake the Leaves" and "I'm a Nut".  We are learning so many songs. 
We had a special helper again today.  Her name was Lauren and she is Mrs. Lehenbauer's little girl.  She is a big girl now.  Thank you, Lauren.  We had granola bars for snack.  Thank you, Lucy.  On Thursday we had grapes.  Thank you, Julian.  We went to play and there were some new things in the Writing Center and the Sensory Table.  We made blotto paintings at art.  First you put red, gold and yellow paint on a piece of brown paper and then you fold it in half and press it down.  When you open it up, it is very cool and all mixed together.

We forgot to thank our other helpers this week.  On Monday, Wyatt's mommy came and on Tuesday, Kadence's mommy came.  Thank you for helping with our classes.  On Thursday Max's mom came to help us.  Thank you.
