Patterns, Patterns, Patterns!!

In October and the first part of November the children worked very hard to learn about patterns.  We set up 4 different pattern centers and the kids had a chance to work at each center to practice their patterning skills.  They used I-Pads, beads, play-doh and a variety of other materials and puzzles to create many different patterns.  Hands-on learning activities are always a lot of fun!

Halloween Happenings

Halloween was a very exciting and busy day for us!  We started out the day being scientists and pumpkin detectives.  Each child had their own pumpkin and as scientists we recorded our observations such as color, size and how it felt.  Once that was done the real fun began as we cleaned and carved 23 pumpkins.  Thank goodness we had 4 moms to help us!  In the afternoon, the kids dressed in their costumes and we walked to the Heritage Manor to sing for the residents.  The children performed well and their audience was thrilled to see them!  Enjoy the pictures!
