Fall Fun!
This week we talked about the changes we are seeing now that it is autumn, although it kind of felt like winter! We talked about the changing leaves, cooler weather, and shorter days. We also learned about what some animals are doing to get ready for winter, like squirrels collecting nuts. The children enjoyed sharing the fall leaves and items they found at home during circle time. Some of the books we enjoyed this week were There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves, Going on a Leaf Hunt, and Acorns Everywhere! Mrs. Gussis introduced us to the artist Georgia O’Keeffe and showed us some of the leaf pictures she created. The children then glued and painted their own version of the autumn leaves.
Next week our theme will be All About Me. The children always enjoy sharing about themselves. Please send or email a family picture when you have a chance. Thanks!
