The Farmer in the Dell!

We had such a great week learning all about farming & harvesting.  We started the week learning about scarecrows and why farmers use them.  Next, we talked about farms and what animals we might find on a farm then we made a fun animal farm craft.  Lastly we learned about what crops might grow on a farm.  It was great being able to talk about our field trip to Black Island Farms and put our learning into real life. 

I think the highlight of the week was definitely our gumball necklaces.  Our letter of the week was G and it just seemed like the kids would love it...well they did.  They were asking all week why Miss Jen and I were poking holes in gumballs and I kept telling them they would have to wait until Thursday to find out.  I think that quite a few of them thought they might actually die if they didn't find out sooner.  I am happy to say that they did not in fact die, so that was a relief.

I can't believe I am saying this, but next week we will begin talking about Thanksgiving, yes I said it, Thanksgiving.  It should be a super fun week.  If you have not signed up to bring a food item for our Thanksgiving feast, and you would like to, the sign up is on the front desk. 

See you all on Monday!!!
