We also got to go to the pumpkin patch which was a lot of fun! At the pumpkin patch we saw farm animals and got to go through a corn maze as well as a hay ride!

THIS WEEK:  

This week we are continuing our learning on Pumpkins!  We will get to create neat sun caters, learn the 5 little pumpkins poem and create a craft to go with it, and even get to decorate our own mini pumpkin. We will lean new pumpkin songs, explore and discuss what you would find on the inside of a pumpkin, count the pumpkin seeds and even get to try some!

LAST WEEK:

Last week we learned about being on the farm and the different animals you would find on a farm.  We reviewed the sounds of farm animals as well as matching a toy farm animal to a picture of a farm animal.  We sang "Old McDonald" using toy farm animals and matching them to the animal in the song!  

We got to create mud pigs by using shaving cream and paint.  This was a big class hit the children loved getting to paint with a puffy texture and cover their piggies in "mud"!  We glued yellow, orange and white feathers on paper ducks and then on Friday we used our handprints to create sheep by gluing cotton balls on the palms on the hands and sticking eyes on the thumbs.  The children thought it was so cute and liked seeing their sheep get puffier!  We also song "Baa Baa Black Sheep"

THIS WEEK:

This week we are learning about Produce and Harvesting.  We will be creating scarecrows, learning about canning, and creating a produce collage.  We will get to hear nursery rhymes stories and looking at how a farmers market works.  We will get to learn about the different fruits and veggies, explore corn on the cob by peeling it as well as getting to eat it.
