Indian corn rolling pins

Ella: I was rolling the corn in the playdough.
Ashley: I'm rolling the corn on the playdough to make it hide. To make the corn hide. When I always do that Ella and me are nice together.

Leaf Hunt

We went out on a leaf hunt today. We found lot's....all different sizes and colors. We put our leaves into baskets. When we got home we seperated them into groups of shape. Then we dumped them all into the sensory bin. We kept our favorite ones to glue onto a paper.

Washing Pumpkins

We washed our pumpkins....nice and sparkely clean. Mason enjoyed dumping his pumpkin into the water. He did this over and over and over.....'Whered the water go Annie?' 'I dunno Mason...where do you think it went?' 'It jumped!' Yes it did.

Brainstorm... Pumpkin Patch

Before we left for the Pumpkin Patch, we brainstormed ideas of what we might see there. These were the ideas. *Pumpkins*Cool Pumpkins*Tractors*Mud Pies*Green Pumpkins*Long Stems*Yellow Pumpkins*Purple Pumpkins*Pink Pumpkins*A lot of People and *Fat Pumpkins.
Tomorrow we will review what we actually saw compared to our list. We will then review the sequence of our day in detail.
After nap today we will wash our Pumpkins outside in this super warm weather!
Connor found some mushy pumpkins! Good thing we had our boots!


Dacia's car was full of Pumpkins....and mud. Thank you so much Dacia and Karen for Driving us up to the Pumpkin Patch!!!

Boots!

We Love our Boots!
Boots can Run and Jump.
Boots can Splish and Splash.
Boots can Walk and Stomp.
Boots can get Muddy and Boots can get Dirty.
Boots can get Sparkely and when they get
Dirty again they can get washed and get cleaned.
Best of all....We can put on and take off our own boots!
Annie Loves our Boots!

S is for Spider

GRETA: Sometimes our spiders eat bigger bugs on their web. Then they go and walk a little bit and then they jump back to their web. That's it.
ASHLEY: When spiders eat bigger bugs we always say "you spiders are great at getting big bugs." I love you. When we love them we always like theim for every time. When we make spiders it look so cool. When we do stuff for spiders we use eyes and different colors on them. When we always do that we just like putting little feet on them and we like them becauss they eat big bugs. and alwyas when we do that it looks so pretty.
OLIVIA: We used legs for our spiders.
KAMIL: Spider. Eyes.
MASON: Spiders crawl on people. Spiders throw up. (?)

Chillin' with me pal

These two are becoming little pals. I gave them each a cup of crackers. They both went to sit on the stairs.They started sharing...back and forth...adding crackers and taking crackers from each other. They were giggling and having a great time. Then they ran out of crackers.
More?!

A is for Apple

Today we painted with fluffy paint. I just squirted it onto the table and let them have at it.
Ashley:"When me and Greta and Mason and Kamil and Connor and Olivia and when we paint it's fun. If we paint thats fine but if we don't paint it's OK. "
Greta:"I like to paint with pink paint. Pink paint is my favorite. I like to paint with all my friends. We are painting Apples. Red Pink Delicious ones. "

Googly Eye Glasses

$1.99 for 4 of these amazing glasses at Target!! Love these silly glasses. Love Target.
These are called open ended play items: They use them for magnafying glasses, doctor glasses, veteranarian glasses, kitty glasses, outerspace glasses, hammering glasses, painting glasses, and just pretending to see glasses.....see dinosaurs, crocodiles, spiders, fire, and fireworks, just to name a few.

Potato/Apple Smashers

Smashing is fun...especailly with paint. This photo looks quite calm compared to the end of the day. Lot's of color mixing and splating! I tried to send at least one painting home with the children, even though they each made hundreds...at least 5.

Homes

Ashley: Our house has toys inside and is a different color. My house is purple. I have a driveway and green trees. We have an Apple tree. We have a door, windows, and a backyard.

Greta: My new house looks like it has all sorts of colors in my bedroom. There is a ladybug on my window. We park in our spot and we take the key and unlock it. We go upstairs. We have a new floor and all new paint.

Kahia: My house looks like color orange. We go upstairs to get to the front door. My babysitter paints my room. I have dandilions in my yard.

Today we painted the wood
sculptures we made last week.
Their stories are interesting,
so ask them to tell you a little
about their sculpture.
