Fall Season weeks
















We have been learning many thing about the fall season. The leaves start changing color, after they change color the wind starts to blow and they fall on the ground. Squirrels start to collect food for the long cold winter and we see fruits and vegetables that are particular to this season. Like corn, pumpkins, apples and nuts. The children got to work with candy corn, and some popped kernels to make a pop-corn hand similar to a scarecrow's hand. It was fun to see how the seed of the kernel turns in just 60 seconds into a delicious popcorn!

Exploring with shaving cream
















During our color-rainbow week the children got an opportunity to explore with all their senses. Here we see them mixing shaving cream with the primary colors (red-yellow-blue). It was an awesome experience. They discovered that when they mix some colors together they crate a brand new color (secondary color) like purple, green and orange.

Community Helper day 2






We had the joyful visit of Andres's dad. He works for Compast. He showed the children his special tools and equipment. The children got to see how "the bucket" goes up and down on his big truck. He also brought every child a bottle for water and a nice green tote bag.

Community Helper Week





Today we had a Police Officer visit and tell us all about the job. We got to see her hand cuffs, flashlight, laser gun, and we learn she caries a purse with all her gadgets. She tought us about 911 and how to never talk to strangers.
We even got to go in the back of the police car and see how uncomfortable it is.
It was great!
