Welcome Back parents and Learners! September is over and now we’re onto October season. Here are a few of our adventures.
🍂 Forest Adventures: Fishing and Puddles 🎣🌲💦
One of our favorite outdoor escapades this month was fishing in the forest! After the rains, our “river” was full of blue, rainbow, red, and green fish. Some of us crafted soups with sticks and leaves, while others couldn’t resist splashing in the biggest puddles we could find. What a way to explore the wild!
🍏 Apple Sauce and Bear Stories 🐻🍎🎶
Snack time turned into a group project when we made apple sauce together! We peeled, chopped, and enjoyed the fruits of our labor. At circle time, Teacher Gail sang apple-themed songs, and our bears got creative, lining up for different adventures like “The Movies,”, ” the forest”, “a sneaky pee,” “Disneyland rides,” and even Bear stew!
✨ Flyers and Chestnut Fun 🌰🌀🐿️
On sunny days, we dashed through the field chasing flyers—spinning disks that zoomed high into the sky! We also collected shiny chestnuts after Teacher Jen gave a tree a good shake. Now, those chestnuts are part of our yard play. So much running and laughter filled our afternoons!
🎭 Classroom Adventures: Puppet Shows and Block Trains 🚂🌭🛒
Inside the classroom, creativity ran wild! We hosted puppet shows, built a wooden block train that took us shopping at Walmart, and roasted pretend hotdogs over imaginary campfires. And of course, the mud kitchen kept us busy whipping up lots of delicious pretend meals.
🎨 Tadpoles Painting Project 🖌️🌈🎨
In the Tadpoles class, we experimented with painting on the fence canvas! Getting those dry paint pucks to work was tricky, but we mastered the right mix of water and swirling. Watching the colors come to life was so satisfying—everyone loved contributing to the masterpiece!
💚 Settling Into Routines 👟🍽️🔄
Throughout all the fun, we’ve been learning our new routines: putting on indoor shoes, participating in circle time, cleaning up after snacks, and getting ready for outdoor play. We’re starting to settle into the rhythm of preschool life—and it’s been an exciting first month!
