Pumpkins

One of the crafts the kiddos made this week was a PUMPKIN!! We explored cutting, gluing and putting the materials on. Each craft was adapted to the child's skill level. We used popcorn kernels to get the orange color, black buttons for the eyes and green tape for the stem.

We did a super fun experiment in group time this week-  PUMPKIN VOLCANO!!!

First, we scooped the guts and seeds out.

Next, we poured in the baking soda.

Then, we added a few drops of food coloring.

Lastly, we poured in the vinegar!

A PUMPKIN EXPLOSION!!!

Leaf Man

 One of the books we read was Lois Ehlert's Leaf Man.

A couple of examples of our Leaf Man inspired art!!

 

Fall Walk in Fish Creek Park

This week we went on an outing to Fish Creek Park. The children enjoyed walking around the beautiful park and were able to see the colorful leaves falling off the trees.

If you look closely at the image above you can see the muskrats swimming in the pond!!!

A little hard to see but it's a muskrat!!

The children participated in doing a scavenger hunt.
