October Fun

 As promised, October sure was a busy month!  Early in the month we teamed up with the PTA's Beautification Committee and helped Amy Burns plant some bulbs outside our courtyard door.  We uncovered a number of earthworms when we were planting.  It was fun to get dirty digging in the dirt.  We can't wait to see how beautiful our courtyard will be when the colorful flowers bloom this spring.

Later in the month our room moms helped us learn about the artist Georges Seurat during an Art Goes to School lesson when we made our own "dot" painting.   I hope you enjoyed the children's pumpkin dot paintings and look forward to more Art Goes to School activities.

It's just not fall without warm apple crisp and the boys and girls were excellent cooks during our very first baking activity.   We used an allergy friendly recipe to make apple crisp from scratch!   The students enjoyed the process more than the product, but everyone seemed to like the ice cream that went on top.  Thanks to all the adults that participated, we could not have done it without your support!
