Squirrels Today

Don't forget that we have pictures on Tuesday (Yellow Group) and Wednesday (Green Group).

We talked a lot about squirrels today.  We even read a very cool story called, "Busy Squirrels".  There were real pictures of squirrels doing things like eating, drinking and keeping warm.  Ask me questions about squirrels and I bet that I can answer them.  We even got to see a real squirrel feeder that another little girl had brought to school.  It held an ear of corn.  Do you think that squirrels eat corn?

When we got to school today we looked at all types of seeds.  Mrs. Whiteman opened a milkweed pod again and we got to try and keep the seeds in the air by blowing on them.  That is just a lot of fun, but it can sure make you tired from all of that blowing.

After we took attendance, we played with balloons, did our tabletop easels and played with the tessalation blocks.  It was too cold this morning to go outside, so we just had fun in our room.  Our songs today were "I'm an Acorn", "Grey Squirrel", "Way Up High in the Apple Tree", and "5 Little Pumpkins". 

We had a really good snack from Wyatt.  It was granola bars and cashews.  We liked that a lot.  Thank you, Wyatt.  After we were all finished we got to do something really different for art.  Mrs. Whiteman and Mrs. Myers had a big, long piece of paper taped to the table.  We painted it orange and then we took a big cookie cutter pumpkin and dipped that in paint.  We pressed the pumpkin onto the painted paper.  It looked really neat.  It is called a mural and we think that it will be hung up where lots of people can see it.

Today we had a special helper.  It was Robert's and Leah's mom.  Thank you for playing with us.
