This week we have been talking about
Fall and the changing leaves and doing some fall related activities. We read the book “Leaf Man” and used real
leaves to create our own Leaf Men. We
have also practiced counting and color identification by doing leaf math. We also read the book Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf
and talked about what happens to trees during different seasons. Since we will
be taking a trip to the grocery store next Monday, we predicted what we might
see there.

This week we have continued doing
activities about pumpkins. We carved our
class pumpkin on Monday and sorted the pulp and seeds. For large group, we cooked the seeds and
tasted them. Eight children liked the way they tasted while seven didn’t like
the taste. We have also planted our
pumpkin seeds and predicted what would happen to them. We also used describing words to explain the taste/feel
of the seeds. This week we also read the
book Pumpkin Jack and predicted what
our pumpkin would do if we sat it outside for a long period of time.
