We have a quiet day at Jen's house today with only 4 friends so we're taking advantage of the calm and doing some baking! We're watching frozen bread dough rise and baking muffins to have for breakfast next week. We did some freestyle art at art time. We also got to spend some time outside after the rain stopped and the sun peeked out!

Today is one of our graduation parties. We baked cupcakes to decorate and wrapped presents. We went around in a circle and each child shared what they loved and will miss about our friend who graduated. It's so sad to see them off....*sniff, sniff*.
We also made apple trees in art as we continue our fruit theme and spent some time outside before it started to rain. We've been talking about summer fruits and vegetables that our friends in the forest eat. We made berry baskets in art and went on a berry hunt. In spite of berry bushes lining our garden, we couldn't find a single one. We figured the deer were very hungry and ate them all. Since they were gone we put some watermelon out for them and keep checking to see if they came to eat it.
We found some frogs in the yard and the kids have been working on making homes for the frogs by the garden. We have a full house today! We're talking about summer fun and the kids are excited to share stories of some of the fun adventures they had with family over the summer. We made fireworks in art with glitter and glue. We got to talk about some of the fun days we have planned for the fall.
We got to spend lots of time outdoors again today. The weather has been perfect. Welcome back friends! We're ready to kick off the school year and had a great first day back! We have some new blocks and toys that the kids are obsessed with today so they haven't been interested in the curriculum much today. We used red and blue paint to make purple and used corks to paint grapes in art. We got to spend a couple hours outside this morning.
I have the menu posted for the week so you can check that out when you have time. I have a fall newsletter posted and I printed a copy for your child's locker to go home. |
