Little Critters

Mrs. Whiteman grew some very small pumpkins in her garden this year and she brought some to school so that we could look at them.  Something very strange has happened to them.  There are little bites on the small pumpkins.  The silly squirrels at her house have nibbled at those pumpkins.  It was funny to see the bite marks.  We also got to look at seeds with our magnifying glasses.  Mrs. Myers brought in a beautiful dragonfly for us to see.  It was dead, but is was very cool.  We could see through his wings!

After we put away the seeds and checked to see who was here today, we played with the stepping stones, the table top easels and we played scarecrow color bingo.  Our story was "Count".  It is a book with very pretty and bright pictures.  In it there are the numbers up to 10 and some funny animals that we got to count. 

Our songs today were "I'm an Acorn", "Grey Squirrel", "Way Up High in the Apple Tree" and "5 Little Pumpkins".  After we washed our hands we went into the play room and had a snack of crackers and cheese sticks.  Yum.  Thank you, Noah. 

We had another special helper today.  Evelyn's mommy came and helped with our art.  Thank you.  We painted a big, long piece of paper with orange paint and then we added some pumpkins to it.  It is called a mural and the teachers will put it on the wall for everyone to see.
