| Well, with a week off for Fall Break, October has flown by! We completed our apple studies and moved into a quick unit on Seasons & Community Helpers. October is Fire Safety Month so we touched on that within the framework of community helpers. This is a good opportunity for you to talk about fire safety with your children--come up with a meeting place in case of an emergency, review calling 911, etc. After our Community Helpers, we moved on to th real highlight of October--PUMPKINS!! We have learned so much about them--the parts of a pumpkin, the pumpkin life cycle, words to describe pumpkins, things that start with the same sound as pumpkin, and more! Check out some photos of our pumpkin work: |
